Vulnerability Management Analyst

Vulnerability Management Analyst | 12-Month Contract | Remote, Australia

You’ll be one of five analysts forming the APAC shift of a new follow-the-sun vulnerability triage service, running 24 hours a day, five days a week across APAC, North America and EMEA. When a new vulnerability is disclosed, you decide whether it matters to the customer, how much, and why. LT Harper is running this search on behalf of a global technology consulting firm and its enterprise customer.

The essentials

• Minimum 12-month contract
• 100% remote, based in Australia, covering the APAC shift
• Day rate: on application
• One of 15 analysts across three regions, five per time zone

What you’ll actually do

• Triage newly disclosed vulnerabilities and work out their relevance and impact to the customer’s applications and assets
• Assess exploitability using threat intelligence, exploit and proof of concept (PoC) details, and likely attack paths
• Assign severity and risk ratings mapped to CVE, CPE and CVSS, with a clear rationale behind every rating
• Keep audit-ready case notes that hand over cleanly to colleagues in other time zones
• Support business-as-usual triage alongside urgent escalations when something critical lands

What you’ll need

• Hands-on vulnerability triage and risk assessment across the end-to-end vulnerability management workflow, with fluency in CVE, CPE and CVSS
• The ability to read disclosures, advisories and exploit information and judge the real-world risk
• Clear technical writing, so impact, actions and priorities are easy to act on
• Broad familiarity with enterprise platforms such as Microsoft, VMware, Oracle/Java, Citrix and F5, and how their patch and release cycles work
• Comfort working across cloud environments and large-scale open-source use in enterprise estates
• Strong prioritisation and an operations mindset, able to balance several cases at once

What’s in it for you

• A minimum 12-month engagement helping build a new global service
• Fully remote working
• Daily collaboration with counterparts in North America and EMEA
