Partner with DevSecOps, Security Architecture, Security Engineering, and GRC teams to align on enterprise risk and compliance goals. Mentor vulnerability analysts or engineers, while scaling the vulnerability management function through automation and self-service where possible. Required Qualifications 7+ years of cybersecurity experience with deep knowledge of vulnerability management in SaaS or tech-native environments. Expertise in both application and infrastructure vulnerabilities, including hands-on familiarity with OWASP Top 10, CVEs, insecure cloud configurations, container risks, and supply chain vulnerabilities.

Demonstrated experience working closely with large engineering organizations and influencing security culture in a fast-paced dev environment. Experience managing security tools and integrating them into automated engineering workflows. Strong analytical, communication, and project management skills.
