• Enterprise Visibility & Reporting: Drive comprehensive asset and vulnerability visibility across all corporate assets, ensuring consistent metric reporting and executive dashboards.
• Advanced Triage & Analysis: Evaluate reported zero-days, CVEs, and security bugs to ensure accurate prioritization, risk scoring, and operational deployment.

You'll need to have:

• Bachelor's degree or one or more years of work experience.
• One or more years of relevant experience in cybersecurity, focusing specifically on Vulnerability Management or Threat Exposure programs.
• Practical experience with one or more scripting languages (e.g., Python, Bash) for automation and data manipulation.
• Experience with core security concepts, common vulnerability scoring systems (CVSS), and exploit mechanics.
• Hands-on experience within Security Operations, Cloud Security, or enterprise vulnerability assessment teams.

Even better if you have one or more of the following:

• Familiarity with compliance standards and security frameworks (SOC 2, NIST, ISO 27001, SOX).
• Comprehensive understanding of vulnerability vectors across modern IT architectures, including cloud workloads (AWS/GCP/Azure), containers, infrastructure-as-code (IaC), and traditional OS/networks.
• Working knowledge of structured data formats (JSON, YAML, XML) and RESTful APIs for automated payload ingestion and pagination handling.
• Experience leveraging AI/ML-driven security tools, automated predictive analytics, and contextual risk scoring.
• Multi-departmental project management experience driving enterprise-wide security initiatives in large organizations.
• Experience within telecommunications or highly complex, non-IT business segments.
• Interpersonal & Communication Skills: Strong analytical problem-solving abilities, organized execution, and the capacity to translate technical risk into business priorities.
• Positive, collaborative, and team-first mindset backed by a strong operational work ethic.
• High degree of autonomy, capable of driving complex projects independently while coordinating seamlessly across distributed teams.
