Position Summary 

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. 

Key Responsibilities 

• 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.  Escalate critical and high vulnerabilities to the client's Chief Information Officer and Chief Information Security Officer and drive remediation as rapidly as possible, with POA&Ms established and prioritized by the risks implicated. 
• Integrate vulnerability management activity into overall risk and compliance support, feeding the POA&M workflow and authorization-boundary tracking maintained by the ISSO/ISCM Lead. 
• Support risk identification, analysis, tracking, and mitigation related to vulnerabilities, control gaps, and system changes. 

• Bachelor's degree in cybersecurity, information technology, or a related field. Equivalent experience considered in lieu of degree. 
• 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. 
• Demonstrated ability to apply risk-based prioritization beyond raw CVSS, incorporating exploitability, the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, asset criticality, and compensating controls. 
• 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&M processes and NIST vulnerability management controls. 

Preferred Qualifications 

• Cloud and container vulnerability management experience — Azure and Microsoft 365, AWS, container image scanning. 
• Experience correlating vulnerability data with SIEM and EDR telemetry to support threat-hunting hypotheses. 
• Experience with SBOM analysis and the vulnerability implications of supply chain risk. 

Required Certifications 

A relevant cybersecurity certification demonstrating competence in vulnerability management, risk, or operations support. Acceptable examples include CompTIA CySA+, GIAC GEVA or GCIH, a Tenable or Qualys vendor certification, CISSP, or CRISC. 

Applicants must be willing to take a drug test and submit to a credit and background investigation as part of the selection process.
