Vulnerability Management Analyst I

The successful candidate will work closely with Vulnerability Management, infrastructure, application, security, service management, and technology ownership teams. This is a hands-on operational and process-focused role.

Key Responsibilities :

• Review and triage the existing backlog of overdue vulnerability remediation tickets
• Validate vulnerability findings, affected assets, application ownership, support-team ownership, remediation status, and target completion dates
• Work with infrastructure, application, cloud, database, middleware, endpoint, and other technology teams to coordinate remediation activities
• Identify tickets that have been incorrectly assigned or that require involvement from multiple support teams
• Help break down complex or multi-team remediation efforts into clearly defined, trackable actions

• Review and categorize the existing overdue Vulnerability Management backlog
• Confirm technical and business ownership of affected assets and applications
• Correct inaccurate ticket assignments and identify remediation dependencies
• Experience working within a large, regulated enterprise, preferably in financial services, insurance, healthcare, or another highly regulated industry
• Familiarity with ServiceNow Vulnerability Response, Configuration Management Database, asset-management, or related ServiceNow modules
• Experience improving vulnerability-management workflows or operating models
• Understanding of infrastructure and application technologies, including Windows, Linux, databases, middleware, cloud services, network devices, and end-user computing
• Ability to quickly learn a complex organizational and technology environment
• Comfortable challenging incomplete information and driving issues toward resolution
• Effective at working across organizational boundaries without direct authority
• Able to balance security risk, technical complexity, operational impact, and business priorities
• Detail-oriented while still able to recognize broader process and risk trends
• Collaborative, pragmatic, and comfortable working directly with technical teams and leadership
• Can quickly understand a complex technology environment, work independently, coordinate across multiple teams, and bring structure and accountability to a high-volume backlog
