Need someone who has done 2 VM assessments
We are looking for a hands-on, technical Vulnerability Management SME who has personally delivered enterprise VM assessments. This is not a governance-only or project-management role. The consultant will work directly in VM tools, analyze scan data, and deliver a risk-based assessment and roadmap within 8 weeks.
Mandatory Requirements
· At least 2 end-to-end vulnerability management program assessments personally delivered for enterprise clients, with the ability to explain the scope, methodology, findings, and outcome of each.
· 7+ years of hands-on technical vulnerability management experience.
· Deep hands-on administration of at least one of Tenable (SC/IO), Qualys VMDR, Rapid7 InsightVM, or Microsoft Defender VM, including scan configuration, credentials, policies, agents, tuning, and reporting.
· Can validate findings technically and identify false positives, scan coverage gaps, and authentication gaps.
· Strong technical knowledge of Windows, Linux, network devices, and cloud (AWS/Azure).
· Has built risk-based prioritization models using CVSS, EPSS, CISA KEV, and asset criticality. Responsibilities
· Review scan configurations, coverage, credentialed scan success rates, and asset inventory accuracy directly in the tools.
· Analyze vulnerability data: aging, recurrence, SLA compliance, and remediation trends.
· Assess program maturity against NIST CSF and CIS Controls.
· Design the prioritization model, remediation SLA matrix, and exception process.
· Deliver the technical assessment report, a 12-month roadmap, and an executive readout. Preferred
· Scripting in Python or PowerShell for scan data analysis or API automation
· Experience integrating with ServiceNow or SCCM/Intune
· Certifications: OSCP, GIAC (GEVA/GPEN), CISSP, or Tenable/Qualys certifications
· Local to the Atlanta area Screening Requirements
· Candidates must describe 2 VM assessments they delivered: client industry, environment size, tools used, and key findings.
· A technical interview will include hands-on scenario questions on scan tuning, credentialed scanning, and prioritization
