💷 Day rate TBC – Inside IR35
⏳ 3 months, initial with possible extension for 2027
🚀 Start: ASAP
A major UK retail bank needs a hands-on Vulnerability Analyst for its security team. You'll own the work from finding a vulnerability to getting it fixed, and you'll work with platform teams and suppliers to close the gaps, not just report them.
What you'll be doing
- Running regular vulnerability scans across networks, systems, and applications, then triaging and prioritising what matters
- Using Qualys for CIS benchmark compliance scanning and working with platform owners until each failure is fixed
- Agreeing remediation plans with internal teams and third-party suppliers, and tracking them through to closure
- Recommending risk mitigations where a fix isn't feasible
- Building metrics and reporting on remediation trends and the bank's overall vulnerability position
