Overview:
Our client is seeking a Principal Patching and Vulnerability Coordinator to lead the coordination and execution of the patching and vulnerability management program across a mixed environment of on-premises and AWS cloud-based infrastructure, in close partnership with platform engineering and infrastructure teams. Specific duties include:
 
  • Act as the central coordinator for all patching and vulnerability management activities, working directly with server, network, and cloud engineering teams to plan, schedule, and help execute patching cycles, ensuring alignment, accountability, and consistency across all efforts.
  • Provide technical leadership in designing workflows, automation, and governance frameworks to maximize the value of the vulnerability management system, and work with Security and End User Experience SMEs to ensure seamless integration between Qualys and ServiceNow.
  • Drive the development and maturation of a patching strategy that progressively moves the organization toward near-real-time vulnerability remediation without disrupting a 24/7 production environment, including assessing architectural barriers, evaluating tooling and automation, and identifying quick-win opportunities.
  • Apply cross-domain expertise in IT server and network administration – including on-premises infrastructure and AWS cloud-based solutions – to ensure consistent vulnerability management standards and patching practices across all environment types.
  • Drive innovation and operational excellence for the IT Operational Security team’s vulnerability management initiatives, and foster ‘dotted line’ team development through cross-training, mentoring, and continuous learning.
