    Job Description

    Position Summary

    The Embedded Regional Crisis Manager (RCM) will be responsible for delivering, enhancing, and scaling crisis management capabilities across the client’s US operations and supporting the broader RCM team globally.

    The RCM will act as a trusted advisor and crisis response lead within the client’s organization, helping to protect people, assets, and operations during critical events. The role requires deep subject-matter expertise in natural disaster preparedness, crisis leadership, and a global perspective on risk management.

    The RCM will work closely with cross-functional stakeholders from security, business continuity, communications, and executive leadership, ensuring a high level of preparedness and resilience tailored to the fast-paced, innovative environment of a global tech enterprise.

    This is a full-time, on-site role based in the client’s Austin office, though there is flexibility for some remote work based on workload and priorities.
