Day - 08 Hour (United States of America)

Stanford Health Care is seeking an OEM Program Manager with deep expertise in adaptive business continuity, risk management, and hazard vulnerability analysis (HVA)—someone who understands how risk intelligence drives operational resilience in a complex healthcare environment.

This role is critical to ensuring the organization can anticipate disruption, sustain essential functions, and recover rapidly, using data‑driven risk insights to guide continuity and emergency management strategies.

We’re looking for someone who:

• Is all‑in on adaptive business continuity, using risk and HVA outcomes to prioritize continuity strategies rather than relying on static plans.

• Has CBCP certification (preferred) or is qualified and committed to obtaining CBCP within the first 90 days of hire.

• Brings hands‑on experience with business continuity, risk, and incident management platforms, such as Everbridge, Veoci, or comparable enterprise continuity or fusion‑center–style systems.

• Understands enterprise risk management concepts and how to apply them within healthcare emergency management, business continuity, and recovery planning.

• Leads or supports Hazard Vulnerability Analyses (HVAs) and translates results into actionable continuity, mitigation, and preparedness initiatives.

• Can clearly articulate risk, impact, and tradeoffs to leadership during planning, exercises, and live incidents.

• Thinks like a continuity and risk consultant and delivers like a program manager—able to design, implement, and sustain enterprise programs.

What You’ll Do

• Lead and mature Stanford Health Care’s adaptive Business Continuity and COOP programs, ensuring continuity strategies are risk‑informed and operationally viable.

• Facilitate and manage Hazard Vulnerability Analyses (HVAs) and other risk assessments to identify threats, vulnerabilities, and operational impacts across the enterprise.

• Translate risk and HVA findings into prioritized continuity strategies, mitigation actions, and recovery objectives.

• Conduct and facilitate Business Impact Analyses (BIAs) that reflect real dependencies across clinical operations, IT, facilities, supply chain, and workforce.

• Configure, manage, and leverage business continuity and incident management software platforms to maintain plans, track risk, support situational awareness, and inform decision‑making.

• Integrate risk management, continuity planning, emergency response, and recovery into a cohesive operational framework.

• Design and lead exercises, drills, and after‑action reviews that test risk assumptions and continuity strategies, driving measurable improvement.

• Support executive leadership during incidents with clear assessments of risk exposure, continuity options, and recovery priorities.

• Develop training and tools that build organizational risk awareness and continuity ownership across departments.
