Head of Vulnerability Management
We are seeking an experienced Head of Vulnerability Management to lead the development and delivery of a comprehensive, risk-based vulnerability management programme. This is a strategic leadership role responsible for reducing cyber risk across a complex technology environment, including cloud platforms, on-premises infrastructure, applications, endpoints and third-party services. You will define the vulnerability management vision, establish effective governance and ensure that security risks are identified, prioritised and remediated in line with business objectives and regulatory expectations.
You will lead a team of vulnerability management specialists and work closely with Security Operations, Infrastructure, Engineering, Architecture, Risk, Compliance and Technology leadership. Responsibilities will include overseeing vulnerability discovery, scanning, validation, threat intelligence, risk-based prioritisation, remediation tracking and management reporting. You will establish meaningful service levels and key performance indicators, improve asset visibility and coverage, and ensure that vulnerabilities are assessed in the context of exploitability, business criticality and emerging threats. The role will also involve managing strategic relationships with technology and security vendors, supporting audit activity, and providing clear, concise updates to senior stakeholders.
The successful candidate will have substantial experience leading vulnerability management or a closely related cyber security function within a large and complex organisation. You will possess strong knowledge of vulnerability assessment methodologies, common security frameworks, risk management principles and industry tooling, with practical experience across infrastructure, applications and cloud environments. A proven ability to lead teams, influence stakeholders and translate technical risk into business-focused recommendations is essential. Relevant professional certifications such as CISSP, CISM, CRISC, OSCP or equivalent are desirable. You should be analytical, decisive and collaborative, with a continuous improvement mindset and the communication skills needed to drive accountability at all levels.
