Operational Security Lead and Vulnerability Manager
We are seeking an experienced Operational Security Lead and Vulnerability Manager to strengthen the organisation’s cybersecurity posture and ensure that security risks are identified, assessed, and addressed effectively. This role will lead the operational management of security controls, vulnerability assessments, remediation activity, and risk reporting across a complex technology environment. You will work closely with infrastructure, applications, cloud, engineering, and risk teams to embed secure practices and maintain a clear view of the organisation’s exposure to cyber threats.
Key responsibilities include owning the vulnerability management lifecycle, from discovery and prioritisation through to remediation, exception management, and verification. You will oversee regular scanning and security testing, analyse findings, and ensure that critical vulnerabilities are escalated and resolved within agreed timescales. The role will also involve developing operational security processes, monitoring control effectiveness, supporting incident response, contributing to threat-informed risk assessments, and producing clear management information for senior stakeholders. You will help define security standards, improve operational resilience, and support audits, regulatory reviews, and assurance activities.
Applicants should have substantial experience in operational cybersecurity, vulnerability management, security engineering, or a closely related discipline. Strong knowledge of vulnerability assessment tools, risk-based prioritisation, patch management, security monitoring, and common frameworks such as NIST, ISO 27001, or CIS is essential. Experience working across cloud and on-premises environments, as well as familiarity with penetration testing, configuration management, and remediation tracking, would be advantageous. You will need excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to explain technical risks clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences. Relevant professional certifications in cybersecurity, risk, or infrastructure security are desirable. The successful candidate will be analytical, organised, pragmatic, and confident in leading improvements within a fast-changing environment.
