Vulnerability Management Engineer (12 Month FTC)
We are seeking a Vulnerability Management Engineer for a 12-month fixed-term contract to support the identification, assessment and remediation of security vulnerabilities across a complex technology environment. This role will be responsible for helping strengthen the organisation’s security posture by ensuring vulnerabilities are accurately identified, prioritised according to risk and addressed within agreed timescales.
You will manage and improve vulnerability scanning processes across infrastructure, endpoints, applications and cloud environments, working with security, infrastructure, development and service teams to investigate findings and coordinate remediation activity. Responsibilities will include configuring and maintaining vulnerability management tools, reviewing scan results, validating false positives, producing clear risk-based reports and monitoring remediation progress. You will also contribute to vulnerability assessments, exception management, trend analysis and the development of metrics for senior stakeholders. Where required, you will support the investigation of emerging threats and assess their potential impact on the environment.
The successful candidate will have practical experience in vulnerability management, security engineering, systems administration or a closely related discipline. You should be comfortable working with vulnerability scanning platforms and interpreting results across operating systems, networks, applications and cloud services. A sound understanding of common vulnerabilities and exposures, remediation techniques, patch management and risk assessment is essential, along with the ability to use scripting or automation to improve efficiency. Experience with tools such as Qualys, Tenable, Rapid7 or comparable platforms would be advantageous. Strong communication and stakeholder management skills are required, as you will need to explain technical risks clearly and work collaboratively with teams at varying levels of technical expertise. Relevant certifications such as Security+, Network+, CISSP, CISM or equivalent experience would be beneficial.
