Translate technical vulnerability findings into risk-based language for federal clients and authorization officials, presenting monthly status briefings as needed
Collaborate with development, SRE, and infrastructure teams to integrate vulnerability management into CI/CD pipelines, cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP), and container/Kubernetes platforms
Participate in change management processes to ensure continuous monitoring activities align with system changes and maintain compliance posture
Support and maintain enterprise vulnerability management tools (such as Tenable, Nessus, Burp, Qualys, Rapid7, Wiz, Prisma, Microsoft Defender), ensuring timely updates and patches
Run regular and on-demand scans across operating systems, databases, web applications, and containers, then work with technical teams to create tickets for remediation
Track and document vendor dependencies, operational requirements, and open vulnerabilities, producing clear monthly reports and updates for clients
Contribute to improving internal standards and processes, including maintaining documentation, training materials, and standard operating procedures

Requirements

3–5 years of professional experience in vulnerability management, compliance monitoring, or related security operations roles
