Permanent Employment

The ideal candidate will have some prior experience in patch management or vulnerability management — either from a technical or coordination perspective — and will be confident handling large datasets, running reports, and facilitating discussions between technical teams and compliance stakeholders.

Key Responsibilities

• Review patching and vulnerability scan data (e.g., from Flexera or similar tools) and consolidate it into actionable, clear reports.
• Engage with application owners, infrastructure teams, and server owners to address overdue patching.
• Facilitate discussions to understand patching delays, identify technical or procedural blockers, and ensure proper audit processes are followed where patching cannot be completed.
• Track scheduled patches, follow up on outstanding actions, and escalate issues where required.
• Run and refresh existing reports using tools such as dbRib (SAP BusinessObjects), Power BI, or Tableau.
• Maintain and analyze large datasets in Excel to support compliance tracking.
• Coordinate with multiple teams to ensure deadlines are met and patch compliance objectives are achieved.

• Ability to interpret patching data and determine compliance requirements.
• Strong organizational skills with a high level of attention to detail.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills; able to manage sensitive compliance discussions diplomatically.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Excel (advanced data handling, formatting, and reporting).
• Familiarity with ServiceNow or similar IT Service Management tools (e.g., Remedy).

Desirable Skills & Experience

• Experience running or refreshing reports in dbRib, Power BI, or Tableau.
• Exposure to scanning tools such as Flexera.
• Previous work experience in large organizations, particularly in the financial sector.
