This is a junior-level role (1–3 years of experience) focused on execution and coordination, working hands-on with Tenable/Nessus, iPost, Power BI, Excel, and ticketing systems to ensure that vulnerability data is accurate, actionable, and reportable.

Responsibilities

  • Run authorized Tenable/Nessus scans using credentialed scan profiles and review exports to identify CVEs, plugin findings, KEV status, EOL/EOS software risks, and affected assets.
  • Validate findings as true or false positives, track vulnerability age using first-seen/last-seen dates, and escalate unresolved findings to senior security staff or system owners.
  • Support the full vulnerability lifecycle from intake and triage through ownership assignment, remediation tracking, retest/rescan validation, and closure evidence collection.
  • Monitor KEV and Critical/High findings against federal remediation timelines (e.g., BOD 22-01) and flag aging, stale, or blocked findings for escalation.
  • Build and maintain Power BI dashboards and Excel reports covering vulnerability posture, patch compliance, KEV status, finding aging, and ownership tracking using Power Query, slicers, and basic DAX measures.
  • Produce recurring deliverables, including Critical/High aging reports, Tenable/iPost reconciliation summaries, EOL/EOS tracking, and executive snapshots; document KPI definitions and data sources.
  • Reconcile vulnerability data across Tenable/Nessus, iPost, ServiceNow/CA ServiceDesk, Jira, SharePoint, POA&M trackers, and Excel exports to identify mismatches and coverage gaps.
  • Coordinate with security, development, infrastructure, database, and cloud teams and ISSO stakeholders to drive remediation through closure.
Requirements

  • 1–3 years of experience in cybersecurity operations, vulnerability management, SOC, cyber GRC, IT operations, or application security support; working knowledge of CVE, CVSS, KEV, false positives, POA&M tracking, risk acceptance, and vulnerability aging.

  • Intermediate Power BI (Power Query, data modeling, DAX, slicers) and strong Excel skills (pivot tables, VLOOKUP/XLOOKUP, conditional formatting, deduplication) for vulnerability reporting and KPI tracking.
  • Experience with iPost, ServiceNow, CA ServiceDesk, Jira, or SharePoint for remediation tracking; ability to reconcile data across multiple tools, identify mismatches, and maintain accurate ownership and evidence records.
  • Familiarity with EOL/EOS software tracking, patch compliance, remediation exceptions, risk acceptance documentation, and closure evidence collection.
  • Strong attention to detail, comfort working with large and messy datasets, and clear communication skills for translating technical findings into plain-language updates for leadership and non-technical stakeholders.

U.S. Equal Opportunity Employment Information (Completion is voluntary)

We are an equal opportunity employer and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability status, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law.

You are being given the opportunity to provide the following information in order to help us comply with federal and state Equal Employment Opportunity/Affirmative Action record keeping, reporting, and other legal requirements.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

An "Armed forces service medal veteran" means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.
