Sun Life and our peers operate in a complex risk environment, with increasing threats posed to our critical operations from events like control failures, third-party disruptions, infrastructure outages, technology failures, cyber incidents, geopolitical incidents, pandemics, and natural disasters.

- As this complex multi-year program considers business-as-usual operations, this role will be critical to assist the transition across the various programs/disciplines (Technology, People, Premises, Data, Third Parties, Processes) that represents the appropriate timing for transition.
