Ingenieur / BCP-DR & GRC — Grégory Murer

BNP Paribas Fortis — Brussels, Belgium · Hybrid

Ensuring the bank stays resilient when it matters most. Leads the end-to-end lifecycle of BCP/DR testing across BNP Paribas Fortis’ Belgian entities, bridging Group-level strategy with local operational reality.

• Group-to-local alignment — Receiving Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery frameworks from Paris headquarters and translating them into actionable plans tailored to each Belgian entity’s operational, regulatory and technical context.
• Test orchestration — Designing, planning and driving the execution of BCP/DR exercises: tabletop simulations, failover tests, and full-scale recovery scenarios.
• Constructive challenge — Challenging business and IT teams on their continuity assumptions, recovery capabilities (RTO/RPO) and test readiness — because a plan that hasn’t been tested is just a hypothesis.
• Incident recovery decisions — Determining restart priorities and recovery sequencing following incidents, balancing business criticality, dependencies and risk exposure.
• Regulatory resilience — Contributing to compliance with operational resilience requirements (DORA, NBB/ECB expectations) through evidence-based testing and continuous improvement.
• Cross-entity coordination — Acting as the pivot between Group HQ, Belgian entities, IT operations and business lines to embed a genuine culture of resilience.
