About the role you're considering
The Vulnerability Management Consultant operates within the Operational Integrator (OI) function in a multi-supplier (SIAM) environment, supporting the governance and coordination of vulnerability management activities across suppliers. The role assists in ensuring vulnerabilities are identified, tracked, prioritised, and reported in accordance with client policies and agreed remediation timelines. Working with suppliers, service teams and security stakeholders, the consultant provides visibility of vulnerability status and supports the maintenance of accurate reporting and audit evidence.
