What you'll do

As a member of the Threat & Vulnerability Management team, you will play a critical role in safeguarding the organization’s

digital infrastructure. While your primary focus will be on threat intelligence, the nature of our team requires a strong

understanding of vulnerability management as well. You will be responsible for identifying, analyzing, and disseminating

high-severity threat intelligence—particularly zero-day vulnerabilities under active exploitation and activity linked to high-
priority threat actors—to drive timely remediation efforts and inform the implementation or enhancement of security controls.

This is a dynamic, cross-functional role that requires collaboration with asset owners, technical teams, and leadership to

ensure a proactive and risk-informed cybersecurity posture.

Key Responsibilities

Threat Intelligence:

• Monitor and analyze threat intelligence sources to stay ahead of emerging threats.

• Disseminate critical and high-severity threat alerts, with a focus on zero-day vulnerabilities and activity from high-impact

threat actors.

• Track and assess threat actor campaigns and TTPs using structured frameworks to inform defensive strategies.

• Apply tactical, operational, and strategic intelligence principles to support both day-to-day security operations and long-
  term risk reduction planning.

• Maintain and evolve the organization’s threat profile, including threat actor tracking and sector-specific threat landscape

assessments.

• Collaborate with SOC, incident response, and vulnerability management teams to ensure threat intelligence is actionable

and operationalized.

• Provide context and enrichment to threat intelligence to sharpen its relevance to the organization.

• Support the development and maintenance of threat intelligence dashboards and reporting for both technical and

executive audiences.

• Contribute to the continuous improvement of intelligence validation, dissemination, and escalation processes.

Vulnerability Management:

• Identify and assess vulnerabilities across enterprise systems in both IT and OT environments.

• Oversee vulnerability scanning and ensure findings are shared with responsible teams.

• Prioritize remediation by correlating threat intelligence with internal vulnerability data.

• Collaborate with technical support teams for patching, while ensuring asset owners remain accountable.

• Track remediation efforts and support risk-based prioritization.

• Contribute to threat-informed patching strategies based on real-world exploitation trends.

• Enhance and maintain regular vulnerability management reports and dashboards for leadership, highlighting trends,

remediation status, and risk posture.

• Establish, document, and continuously improve vulnerability management processes, standards, and policies aligned with

industry best practices (e.g., NIST, NERC CIP, CIS).

• Evaluate vulnerabilities associated with third-party vendors and cloud services to manage external risks.

What you bring

• Minimum of 5 years of experience in cybersecurity, with a focus on threat intelligence analysis or related disciplines.

• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to clearly convey complex information to both technical and

non-technical audiences.

• Solid understanding of cyber threat intelligence frameworks and methodologies.

• Familiarity with the full spectrum of threat intelligence—tactical, operational, and strategic—and how each supports

different layers of defense and decision-making.

• Experience with vulnerability assessment, scanning, and management tools and processes.

• Experience using a threat intelligence platform to manage, enrich, and operationalize threat data.

• Experience creating and delivering hunt packages to support proactive threat detection and threat-informed defense.

• Experience with Operational Technology (OT), Industrial Control Systems (ICS), or operational processes, including

technologies such as SCADA, PLCs, or DCS in industrial or critical infrastructure environments.

• Proven ability to collaborate effectively across IT, security, and business unit teams in a cross-functional environment.
