The Sr. Associate IT Generalist will help strengthen technology resilience and business continuity through disaster recovery planning, testing, documentation, and customer implementation support. This role works across technology teams to understand critical systems and dependencies, maintain recovery plans, and help ensure disaster recovery activities are effectively planned and executed.

• Develop and maintain disaster recovery runbooks, playbooks, and incident-response procedures.

• Apply project management practices to move disaster recovery initiatives and customer implementations forward against defined customer requirements.
• Coordinate new and changing external customer connectivity requirements with customers and internal technology teams.
• Facilitate customer engineering discussions and coordinate technical follow-up.
• Support customer quoting activities and serve as a liaison across customers, sales, engineering, technology teams, and internal business partners.
