Business Continuity Manager

Notes to Applicants

• Dimensional sees great value from collaborating in our offices and appreciates the benefits of flexibility. Most roles fit our office-first hybrid approach: we are together on our campuses Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays and have the choice to work in the office or remotely on Mondays and Fridays. This approach maximizes in-person collaboration and interaction while simultaneously providing flexibility and applies to most roles globally with a few exceptions that require more or less time in the office.
