The ODA is initially seeking to fill a new role of Business Continuity Planning Manager to drive the investment and to make appropriate plans to help ensure that the event is delivered on-time and then to ensure that the Games runs smoothly. Here is the job advert — and note that the closing date is 20 June 2008:

This is a unique opportunity to influence the successful delivery of London 2012, the biggest, most complex and highest profile project in the United Kingdom for generations. With strong Business Continuity Management (BCM) experience, you wil start by developing a BCM strategy for the Olympic Delivery Authority to ensure Olympic venues are delivered on time for London 2012. Then you will join the London Organization Committee of the Olympic Games and use that knowledge to make certain that all events and ceremonies are delivered successfully.
