This role is intended for an experienced, hands-on Tenable practitioner who can elevate and mature a large enterprise vulnerability management program.\nThe successful candidate will bring recent, deep experience across the Tenable platform and will be expected to optimize how Tenable is configured, operated, automated, and used to drive risk-based vulnerability identification, prioritization, remediation, and executive reporting. This individual should be excited to expand the program beyond traditional infrastructure scanning by leveraging Tenable Vulnerability Management, Tenable Web App Scanning, APIs, automation, and other applicable Tenable capabilities. The candidate will also help advance the use of AI-enabled tools and techniques to analyze vulnerability data, identify patterns and exposures, improve prioritization, accelerate investigation, and support remediation decisions across a complex enterprise environment.\nStrong PowerShell and/or Python scripting skills are essential to automate repetitive activities, integrate data sources, enrich findings, and improve the efficiency and scale of the vulnerability management lifecycle. The ideal candidate is not simply a scanner operator; they are a vulnerability management engineer and program builder who can identify opportunities to improve coverage, data quality, risk prioritization, automation, metrics, and overall program maturity.\nThis is a remote position, with occasional visits to the Philadelphia office as needed for team meetings, strategic planning, and stakeholder discussions. The position offers a salary range of $115,000-$130,000, along with competitive health benefits, PTO, and a 401(k) plan.\nResponsibilities\nConduct vulnerability assessments using Tenable to identify potential security vulnerabilities within our systems, networks, and applications.\nCollaborate with cross-functional teams to analyze and prioritize vulnerabilities based on risk levels and potential impact.\nDevelop and implement vulnerability management processes, procedures, and best practices to ensure timely identification, remediation, and reporting of vulnerabilities.\nMonitor and track the remediation of identified vulnerabilities, ensuring that they are addressed within defined timelines.\nStay updated with the latest security vulnerabilities, threats, and industry best practices to continuously improve the vulnerability management program.\nPerform regular vulnerability scanning and penetration testing to proactively identify and address potential security weaknesses.\nWork closely with IT teams to provide guidance and support in remediating vulnerabilities, including suggesting configuration changes, patches, and other remediation actions.\nProvide technical expertise and guidance to internal stakeholders on vulnerability management issues and best practices.\nCollaborate with the Incident Response team to investigate and respond to security incidents related to vulnerabilities.\nRequirements\nBachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Security, or a related field, preferred but not required with acceptable experience. 3-5 years of recent, hands-on experience administering and engineering Tenable solutions in a large enterprise environment is acceptable in replacement of education. Relevant certifications (e.g., CISSP, CEH, GIAC), including Tenable or other vendor certifications, are highly desirable.\nDemonstrated recent experience with the Tenable platform, with strong hands-on expertise in Tenable Vulnerability Management (Tenable.io) and Nessus, including scanner deployment and management, scan configuration, asset discovery, tagging, credentialed scanning, plugin management, troubleshooting, dashboards, reporting, and platform optimization.\nExperience using Tenable Web App Scanning to identify and assess vulnerabilities in web applications and APIs; experience with additional Tenable services and capabilities is strongly preferred.\nProven experience designing, operating, and maturing an enterprise vulnerability management program, including vulnerability discovery, validation, risk-based prioritization, remediation tracking, exception management, metrics, reporting, and continuous improvement.\nAdvanced scripting and automation skills, particularly PowerShell; Python or similar scripting experience is highly desirable. Must be able to create and maintain scripts that automate Tenable administration, data collection, enrichment, reporting, integrations, remediation workflows, and other vulnerability management activities.\nExperience working with Tenable APIs and integrating Tenable vulnerability and asset data with enterprise technologies such as ticketing systems, SIEM/SOAR platforms, CMDBs, asset inventories, dashboards, or other security tools.\nDemonstrated ability and interest in leveraging AI tools to assist with vulnerability analysis, data correlation, pattern identification, prioritization, remediation research, scripting, reporting, and other vulnerability management use cases while applying appropriate validation and security controls to AI-generated outputs.\nStrong understanding of vulnerability intelligence and risk-based prioritization, including CVE, CVSS, CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV), exploitability, threat intelligence, asset criticality, exposure, compensating controls, and business impact.\nSolid understanding of common vulnerabilities, attack vectors, mitigation techniques, network and application security concepts, and the ability to distinguish actionable risk from scanner noise or false positives.\nExperience with network scanning, authenticated/credentialed scanning, web application scanning, vulnerability validation, and penetration testing or vulnerability exploitation techniques.\nKnowledge of industry standards and frameworks such as CVSS, CVE, OWASP, NIST, and vulnerability management best practices.\nStrong analytical, troubleshooting, communication, and problem-solving skills, with the ability to translate technical vulnerability data into clear remediation guidance and risk information for infrastructure teams, application owners, leadership, and other stakeholders.\nDemonstrated ability to independently identify gaps in vulnerability coverage, tooling, processes, automation, reporting, and governance and recommend and implement improvements that measurably increase vulnerability management program maturity.\nBenefits\nHealth Care Plan (Medical, Dental & Vision)\nRetirement Plan (401k)\nPaid Time Off (Vacation, Sick & Public Holidays)","description_format":"text","description_chars":6693,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["401k
