• Maintain procedures, playbooks, and program documentation; identify opportunities to automate repeatable workflows and improve program maturity.
• Provide technical guidance and mentorship to junior team members.

• Strong hands-on experience with Qualys VMDR, Tenable, Rapid7, or an equivalent enterprise vulnerability management platform.
• Strong knowledge of CVE, CVSS, CPE, exploitability, severity, compensating controls, remediation, mitigation, false positives, risk acceptance, and vulnerability prioritization.
• Ability to independently interpret scanner results, investigate findings, assess practical risk, and determine appropriate remediation actions.
• Experience managing high volumes of vulnerability data in a large or complex enterprise environment.
• Experience identifying system or application owners and driving remediation across multiple technical teams.
• Experience validating remediation through rescanning, technical testing, manual review, or evidence assessment.
• Strong working knowledge of Windows, Linux, networking, servers, databases, middleware, virtualization, and cloud environments.
• Understanding of remediation methods including patching, configuration changes, software upgrades, compensating controls, and service removal.
• Strong analytical, troubleshooting, documentation, stakeholder communication, prioritization, and organizational skills.
• Ability to work independently while managing multiple remediation efforts and collaborating across technical and business teams.
