Responsibilities include:


  • Platform Operations: Manage, scale, and maintain modern vulnerability assessment platforms, scanners, and underlying cloud infrastructure.
  • Workflow Automation: Automate repetitive manual triage tasks, ingestion pipelines, and remediation tracking using scripting and integrations.
  • Continuous Exposure Management: Drive ongoing evaluation and optimization of vulnerability identification programs to adapt to modern hybrid and cloud-native attack surfaces.
  • Cross-Functional Partnership: Collaborate with global functional organizations and cloud engineering teams to interpret vulnerability findings and streamline remediation.
  • Technical Support & Vendor Coordination: Coordinate with internal stakeholders and external security vendors to troubleshoot scanning issues, API integrations, and ingestion blocks.
  • Enterprise Visibility & Reporting: Drive comprehensive asset and vulnerability visibility across all corporate assets, ensuring consistent metric reporting and executive dashboards.
  • Advanced Triage & Analysis: Evaluate reported zero-days, CVEs, and security bugs to ensure accurate prioritization, risk scoring, and operational deployment.
  • Stakeholder Escalation & Advocacy: Drive security awareness, track SLA compliance, and manage escalations for critical unpatched assets.

What we’re looking for...
You’ll need to have:
  • Bachelor's degree or one or more years of work experience.
  • One or more years of relevant experience in cybersecurity, focusing specifically on Vulnerability Management or Threat Exposure programs.
  • Practical experience with one or more scripting languages (e.g., Python, Bash) for automation and data manipulation.
  • Experience with core security concepts, common vulnerability scoring systems (CVSS), and exploit mechanics.
  • Hands-on experience within Security Operations, Cloud Security, or enterprise vulnerability assessment teams.

Even better if you have one or more of the following:
  • Familiarity with compliance standards and security frameworks (SOC 2, NIST, ISO 27001, SOX).
  • Comprehensive understanding of vulnerability vectors across modern IT architectures, including cloud workloads (AWS/GCP/Azure), containers, infrastructure-as-code (IaC), and traditional OS/networks.
  • Working knowledge of structured data formats (JSON, YAML, XML) and RESTful APIs for automated payload ingestion and pagination handling.
  • Experience leveraging AI/ML-driven security tools, automated predictive analytics, and contextual risk scoring.
  • Multi-departmental project management experience driving enterprise-wide security initiatives in large organizations.
  • Experience within telecommunications or highly complex, non-IT business segments.
  • Interpersonal & Communication Skills: Strong analytical problem-solving abilities, organized execution, and the capacity to translate technical risk into business priorities.
  • Positive, collaborative, and team-first mindset backed by a strong operational work ethic.
  • High degree of autonomy, capable of driving complex projects independently while coordinating seamlessly across distributed teams.
  • Excellent time-management and prioritization skills in a fast-paced, dynamic threat environment.

If Verizon and this role sound like a fit for you, we encourage you to apply even if you don’t meet every “even better” qualification listed above.
