About the role

As an ICM Training Analyst, you will support the Global Training & Awareness Lead in delivering crisis preparedness through the Global Training & Awareness and Scenario-Based Exercise Program within Integrated Crisis Management (ICM).

You will bring a communications-led and people-focused approach to crisis preparedness, creating engaging content, listening to stakeholders, facilitating conversations, and helping senior leaders prepare to respond effectively to incidents. Working alongside ICM leads and subject-matter experts, you will turn emerging cyber, AI, geopolitical, and operational risks into clear narratives, leadership briefings, and scenario-based exercises.

This is not a technical trainer role. Your focus will be on storytelling, facilitation, stakeholder engagement, and dependable program coordination, making complex crisis scenarios accessible, relevant, and engaging for leadership audiences.

In this role, you will:

• Develop compelling crisis exercise content under the direction of the Program Lead, working with subject-matter experts across cyber, AI, geopolitical, operational, and other emerging risk areas.
• Support AI-specific crisis scenarios, including model misuse, AI-enabled cyberattacks, and AI system failures, with an emphasis on leadership decisions, clear communication, and facilitated discussion rather than technical instruction.
• Create engaging scenario narratives, exercise injects, facilitation guides, pre-reads, presentation decks, polling content, and other audience-focused materials.
• Support the preparation and delivery of executive tabletop exercises and briefings, confidently presenting content, engaging participants, facilitating discussion, and capturing outcomes and actions.
• Build effective relationships with ICM leads and cross-functional partners, actively listening to stakeholder needs and adapting content and delivery for different audiences.
• Maintain exercise trackers, evidence folders, templates, and program artefacts to agreed standards, identifying gaps, dependencies, and delivery risks early.
• Support program tracking, governance, delivery-readiness checks, and validation of IRT orientation data with ICM leads.
• Maintain program web pages and intranet content, ensuring information remains current, accurate, and consistent.
• Administer ServiceNow records and attachments while maintaining data quality and integrity across program systems.
• Support the production of the Monthly Training & Awareness Leadership Update and help maintain a dependable program delivery cadence.

What you must have to be considered

• Experience in communications, crisis communications, marketing, creative content, stakeholder engagement, or another audience-facing discipline.
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills, with the confidence and presence to engage senior leadership and executive audiences.
• Experience creating clear, engaging content and presentations that make complex subjects accessible to different audiences.
• Experience presenting to stakeholders, facilitating discussions, or supporting the front-of-house delivery of events, workshops, exercises, or briefings.
• Strong active-listening and facilitation skills, including the ability to ask thoughtful questions, draw out different perspectives, and keep discussions focused and constructive.
• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail, with the ability to maintain accurate records, coordinate a standing program cadence, manage competing priorities, and meet deadlines.
• A proactive approach to identifying issues and risks early and presenting practical options for resolution.
• A bachelor’s degree or equivalent practical experience, including experience in communications, marketing, or another creative or people-facing discipline.
• A strong sense of ownership, a desire to create meaningful outcomes, and a commitment to delivering high-quality work.
• The embodiment of Cognizant’s Values: Work as One, Dare to Innovate, Raise the Bar, Do the Right Thing, and Own It.

These will help you succeed

• Curiosity about crisis preparedness and emerging risks, including artificial intelligence, cyber threats, geopolitical risks, and operational disruption.
• Experience in crisis preparedness, business resilience, crisis management, or scenario/exercise support.
• Creative storytelling skills and the ability to translate emerging or complex risks into credible, engaging leadership scenarios.
• Experience using PowerPoint or other content-creation software to develop professional presentations and exercise materials.
• Confidence using Microsoft 365, Teams, and Excel.
• Experience with, or willingness to learn, ServiceNow and intranet/web content-management tools.
• Ability to work effectively with subject-matter experts while bringing a communications and facilitation perspective rather than requiring specialist technical expertise.
• Adaptability when working with different stakeholder groups, leadership audiences, and evolving business risks.
