Lead Enterprise Resiliency for a Fortune 500 Manufacturing Organization

Silgan Containers, North America’s leading metal food packaging manufacturer, is seeking a Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery (BCDR) Supervisor to build, lead, and continuously mature the organization’s enterprise-wide resiliency program. This is a highly visible leadership opportunity for a strategic professional who thrives at the intersection of cybersecurity, business operations, disaster recovery, risk management, and organizational resilience.

If you enjoy developing enterprise programs, partnering cross-functionally, driving governance, and ensuring critical systems and business functions remain resilient in the face of disruption, this role offers the opportunity to make a significant impact within a stable, growing manufacturing organization.

Why Join Silgan?

At Silgan, employees are part of a financially strong, Fortune 500 company supporting many of the world’s most recognized food brands. Team members benefit from the stability of an industry leader while gaining opportunities for professional growth, collaboration, and continuous improvement.

What We Offer

• Competitive compensation based on experience, skills, education, and market conditions
• Comprehensive medical, dental, vision, and wellness benefits
• Telemedicine and virtual healthcare access
• Optional wellness programs, including pet insurance and chronic condition support
• 401(k) with a 6% dollar-for-dollar company match
• 15 vacation days plus 10 paid holidays annually
• Tuition assistance and professional development opportunities
• A collaborative, team-oriented environment with executive visibility
• The opportunity to shape and mature an enterprise resiliency strategy within a complex manufacturing environment
• A stable, people-focused culture with long-term career potential

What You’ll Do

As the Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery Supervisor, you will lead the development, governance, testing, and ongoing maturity of Silgan’s enterprise-wide business continuity and disaster recovery program. You will partner across Business Technology, Security, Operations, and business units to ensure organizational readiness, resiliency, and recovery capabilities align with business objectives and risk tolerance.

Key Responsibilities

  Oversee Business Continuity Plan (BCP) creation, training, and awareness initiatives
• Facilitate tabletop exercises, simulations, and crisis management scenarios

Disaster Recovery

• Partner with Business Technology teams to maintain Disaster Recovery Plans (DRPs) for critical infrastructure and applications
• Lead enterprise disaster recovery testing, including failover validation and recovery exercises
• Maintain DR runbooks, recovery procedures, and dependency documentation
• Support the modernization of resiliency and recovery capabilities

Risk, Compliance & Governance

• Ensure alignment with audit, compliance, and regulatory frameworks, including ISO 22301, NIST SP 800-34, and SOC requirements
• Serve as the primary point of contact for BCDR-related audits and assessments
• Track and manage remediation activities for identified risks and gaps
• Deliver executive reporting and program readiness updates

Program Coordination & Communication

• Lead cross-functional coordination across Business Technology, Security, Operations, and business teams
• Support organizational response and recovery efforts during major incidents or disruptions

What You Bring

The ideal candidate combines strategic leadership, program management expertise, and technical resiliency knowledge with the ability to collaborate effectively across a large manufacturing organization.

• Certifications such as CBCP, CISSP, MBCI, or ITIL are preferred

Why This Role Stands Out

This is an opportunity to lead and shape enterprise resiliency strategy within a large-scale manufacturing organization supporting critical operations across multiple facilities. The role offers significant visibility across leadership teams and allows the successful candidate to directly influence organizational readiness, risk reduction, and operational continuity.

At Silgan, employees are valued for their contributions, encouraged to collaborate, and supported in building long-term careers with an industry leader.
