Genesis10 is currently seeking a Business Continuity & Incident Management Consultant- Hybrid for a contract opportunity with a Regional Financial Institution located in Columbus, OH. This role requires 4 days per week onsite. Compensation: $50.00 - $58.00 per hour, W2, based on qualifications Position Overview: The primary focus is to turn processes that rely on institutional knowledge into documented, repeatable, measurable and sustainable operating practices. The consultant will shadow the team during active incidents, improve playbooks and tools, and provide additional support when incidents occur simultaneously. This is a business process and operational support role, not a technical subject matter expert position. Occasional after-hours support may be required. The internal team expects to cover most after-hours and weekend incidents, but the consultant may be asked to assist when circumstances require it. Key Responsibilities: Review and strengthen continuity and resiliency processes, critical procedures, stakeholder rosters, escalation paths and backup coverage. Identify documentation and coverage gaps, reduce reliance on individual knowledge, and support readiness exercises or tabletop scenarios. Document the Commercial incident management and communication process, including workflows, handoffs, dependencies, roles, responsibilities and decision points. Translate current practices into clear procedures, checklists and job aids while identifying ways to simplify, standardize and scale the process. Develop and maintain incident response playbooks, bridge-call documentation templates, timelines, tracking tools, communication templates, stakeholder and distribution lists, Q&A libraries, escalation and decision trees, checklists, job aids, and business continuity materials. Create scenario-specific playbooks for common or high-impact events, including concurrent incidents and after-hours events. Support incident bridge calls, particularly when multiple incidents occur simultaneously. Ask effective questions to clarify the situation and identify operational or communication support needs. Capture incident timelines, confirmed business impacts, decisions, open questions and next-update commitments. Maintain accurate documentation, stakeholder lists and update schedules, and flag items requiring decisions or escalation. Support or facilitate brief after-action reviews, documenting successes, breakdowns and lessons learned. Maintain an improvement backlog, update playbooks and procedures, and track improvements through completion. Organize continuity and incident materials in an accessible repository. Test whether backup resources can follow the documentation without relying on institutional knowledge. Help train backup resources and develop sustainable handoff materials before the engagement ends. Establish consistent tracking of incident volume, duration, concurrent events, after-hours and weekend activity, and support hours. Track time to Commercial notification and first stakeholder communication, communication volume, recurring incident themes, and process or readiness gaps.
