Director
Reports to: VP, Operational Excellence & Transformation
Location: Nashville, TN / Hybrid
About the role
Nextpower is seeking a Director, Enterprise Resilience & Crisis Management, to build and lead the company's enterprise capability to anticipate, prepare for, respond to, and recover from significant business disruptions. This is an operational leadership role, not a compliance, bureaucratic, or plan administration position. It will support Nextpower’s next phase of growth by strengthening risk mitigation and crisis management for supply chain and manufacturing disruptions, cyber incidents, natural disasters, geopolitical events, product issues, and other events that could affect employees, customers, or business performance. This role will establish the enterprise framework for resilience and crisis management, while ensuring that accountability remains where it belongs: business and functional leaders own the resilience of their operations; the Director establishes the standards, governance, coordination and enterprise visibility that enable the company to act effectively as one organization.
Responsibilities
- Establish Nextpower's enterprise resilience and business continuity framework, including governance, standards, critical process assessment, recovery expectations, and executive reporting.
- Work with functions and business leaders to identify the company's most important operational dependencies, vulnerabilities, and single points of failure, and ensure proper mitigation and contingency strategies are in place.
- Create a forward-looking view of resilience by identifying and monitoring leading indicators of potential disruption across manufacturing, supply chain, technology, people, facilities, and external events.
- Embed resilience considerations into major business changes, new capabilities, and acquisitions.
- Develop and maintain Nextpower’s enterprise crisis management framework, including crisis classification, escalation protocols, decision rights, executive engagement, and cross-functional coordination.
