• Align on prem patching cadence with Azure patching to reduce overall risk and avoid drift.

• Validate successful deployment of patches and address failed/exception hosts with IT.

Coordination, Reporting & Process Improvement

• Work closely with IT and DevOps to plan patch windows, test changes, and minimize business disruption.

• Maintain clear documentation of vulnerability backlogs, exceptions, approvals, and remediation status.

• Produce simple, understandable reports for management on:

o Basic configuration hardening concepts (CIS benchmarks, least privilege, etc.)

• Ability to work through patching conflicts, testing, and exceptions with IT and application owners.

• Clear, concise communication skills.

Preferred Experience

• Experience in a cloud first or hybrid environment with a significant Azure footprint.

• Prior work in a vulnerability management or patch management–focused role.

• Familiarity with:

o Defender for Cloud, Azure Security Center, Azure Policy

o NIST / CIS Controls as they relate to patching and configuration management

• Scripting/automation experience (e.g., PowerShell, Azure CLI, Python) to streamline patching and reporting.

• Exposure to SIEM tools (e.g., Microsoft Sentinel, Splunk) sufficient to pull data for reporting or basic investigations (not a core requirement).
