Head of Vulnerability Management - Government Digital Service - G6
We are seeking an experienced Head of Vulnerability Management to lead the development and delivery of a mature, risk-based vulnerability management capability across a complex digital and technology estate. This is a senior role requiring strong leadership, sound technical judgement and the ability to influence stakeholders at all levels. You will set the strategic direction for identifying, assessing, prioritising and remediating vulnerabilities, ensuring that security risks are understood and managed effectively.
You will oversee vulnerability scanning, threat intelligence, exposure assessment, remediation tracking and reporting across infrastructure, applications, cloud services and third-party environments. Working closely with cyber security, architecture, engineering, service management and risk teams, you will establish clear policies, standards, operating procedures and performance measures. You will provide authoritative advice on remediation priorities, risk acceptance and emerging threats, while ensuring that vulnerability data is accurate, actionable and communicated clearly to technical and senior audiences.
The successful candidate will have substantial experience leading vulnerability management or a closely related cyber security function within a large, complex environment. You will bring strong knowledge of vulnerability assessment methodologies, common security weaknesses, risk-based prioritisation, remediation processes and relevant security tooling. Experience of managing teams, suppliers and cross-functional programmes is essential, along with the ability to develop capability, improve operational maturity and deliver measurable outcomes. You should be confident presenting recommendations to senior leaders, challenging constructively and building effective relationships across organisational boundaries. Relevant professional qualifications or demonstrable equivalent experience are welcome. We value people who are collaborative, inclusive, analytical and committed to continuous improvement. This role offers the opportunity to shape security practice, reduce organisational exposure and strengthen resilience across essential digital services.
