Own enterprise vulnerability management as a sustained program function — tracking, analysis, prioritization, remediation coordination, and trend reporting across systems, applications, devices, and other in-scope assets. This position converts scan output into risk-informed decisions, drives remediation to closure with system and business stakeholders, and integrates vulnerability data into the broader risk and compliance picture.

• Operate vulnerability management as a sustained enterprise function: identification, documentation, prioritization, monitoring, and closure across all in-scope assets.
• Analyze vulnerability data, scan results, remediation status, and related security findings to enable risk-based decision making.
• Coordinate remediation with system owners and stakeholders; assist in evaluating remediation actions, timelines, and residual risk.
• Identify aging vulnerabilities and recurring or systemic issues; recommend process improvements and risk-reduction measures.
• Lead recurring vulnerability review meetings with applicable stakeholders to review status and support remediation planning.
• Produce periodic reporting covering severity, age, trend, and system-level status.
• Provide monthly vulnerability reporting and an accompanying risk mitigation plan.

• Six or more years in vulnerability management, including at least two years leading or coordinating an enterprise vulnerability program.
• Hands-on proficiency with enterprise vulnerability scanning and management platforms — Tenable, Qualys, Rapid7, Microsoft Defender Vulnerability Management, or equivalent.

• Experience driving remediation across organizational boundaries with system owners who do not report to the vulnerability function.
• Experience producing executive-facing vulnerability trend reporting and defensible remediation timelines aligned to federal expectations.
• Working knowledge of POA&Ms processes and NIST vulnerability management controls.

• Cloud and container vulnerability management experience — Azure and Microsoft 365, AWS, container image scanning.
