About the Role:

Cyderes is seeking a hands-on Vulnerability Management Manager to lead a small, high-performing vulnerability management team while remaining closely connected to the technical work.

This role is ideal for someone who is both a strong people leader and experienced vulnerability management technologist. The successful candidate will manage and mentor a team of four, support client delivery, help resolve technical and operational challenges, and take ownership of day-to-day responsibilities that allow senior leadership to focus on broader strategic initiatives.

The Vulnerability Management Manager will report directly to Andrew and serve as a trusted leader across the vulnerability and exposure management function.

• Serve as an escalation point for both technical and client-facing challenges
• Build a positive, accountable team culture focused on development, collaboration, and strong client delivery

Vulnerability & Exposure Management

• Lead vulnerability management activities across client environments, including vulnerability identification, prioritization, remediation tracking, and validation
• Guide the team in determining which vulnerabilities present the greatest real-world risk based on severity, exploitability, asset criticality, exposure, and business impact
• Help clients move beyond simply identifying vulnerabilities by supporting the remediation process through closure
• Track critical and aging vulnerabilities and ensure appropriate escalation and remediation plans are in place
• Support Attack Surface Management and Exposure Management initiatives across client environments
• Work closely with client infrastructure, cloud, security, application, and operations teams to drive vulnerability remediation
• Ensure vulnerabilities are retested and validated following remediation
