What You Will Do

Metrics & Reporting: Develop and manage Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and risk metrics that demonstrate the effectiveness of the vulnerability management control. You will translate technical data into business-consumable insights for leadership.

Stakeholder Engagement: Act as the primary advocate for Exposure Management. You will meet regularly with portfolio clients to explain their specific risk exposure, educate them on vulnerability impact, and provide clear, actionable guidance on remediation steps.
