Job Summary

The Cybersecurity Vulnerability Governance Analyst is responsible for governing and overseeing the organization's Vulnerability Management Program from a risk, compliance, and accountability perspective. This role serves as the bridge between Cybersecurity, IT Operations, Infrastructure, Cloud, Application Development, and business stakeholders to ensure vulnerabilities are appropriately evaluated, assigned, remediated, accepted, or escalated according to established policies and risk tolerance.

This position does not perform engineering work and instead, the analyst is responsible for vulnerability governance, risk reporting, metrics, exception management, policy adherence, and executive-level visibility into the organization's vulnerability posture.

Success in this role means establishing strong accountability across the organization for vulnerability remediation while providing clear visibility into cyber risk, remediation performance, and program effectiveness. The analyst enables informed risk decisions, supports regulatory compliance, and helps reduce organizational exposure by ensuring vulnerabilities are managed in accordance with enterprise risk expectations and security governance standards.

Program Governance and Continuous Improvement

• Establish and maintain vulnerability management standards, procedures, workflows, and governance documentation.
• Drive continuous improvement initiatives that enhance program maturity, accountability, and operational effectiveness.
• Identify recurring control gaps and process deficiencies contributing to vulnerability exposure.
