  • Develop Dashboards and Reports: Build and maintain executive-level dashboards and reports to track key metrics such as mean time to remediation (MTTR), vulnerability trends, and risk posture.
  • Automate and Streamline Workflows: Design and implement automated scanning and remediation workflows to enhance efficiency, consistency, and scalability of the vulnerability management program.
  • Collaborate Across Teams: Partner with infrastructure, application, compliance, and security teams to resolve systemic issues, align on priorities, and drive continuous improvement in security posture.
  • Support Compliance and Audit Readiness: Assist in maintaining compliance with internal policies and external frameworks (e.g., NIST, ISO), and ensure audit-ready documentation of standards and procedures.
  • Mentor and Develop Talent: Provide guidance and mentorship to Vulnerability Engineers, contributing to team training, knowledge sharing, and process development.
  • Enhance Program Maturity: Continuously evaluate and improve vulnerability management practices, tools, and processes to align with evolving threats and organizational goals.

  • Risk Analysis and Remediation Coordination: Proven ability to assess risk, prioritize vulnerabilities, and coordinate remediation efforts across technical teams.
  • Cloud and Infrastructure Knowledge: Familiarity with cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, Azure, GCP) and hybrid infrastructure environments, including native security tools and configurations.
  • Reporting and Metrics Development: Experience building dashboards and reports to track key metrics like MTTR, exposure trends, and remediation progress using tools such as Power BI, Tableau, or similar.
  • Communication and Cross-Functional Collaboration: Strong communication skills with the ability to present technical findings to both technical and executive stakeholders, and a proven track record of working collaboratively across infrastructure, application, and compliance teams to drive security improvements.
  • Self-Starter: A self-starter with a continuous improvement mindset, demonstrating the ability to take initiative and drive projects forward in a cross-functional environment.
  • Automation and Scripting: Proficiency in scripting languages such as Python, Bash, or PowerShell to automate scanning and remediation workflows preferred.
