Cyber Manager - Threat Exposure Management (Infrastructure)

Overview

Lead the enterprise-wide operations and continual evolution of the organisation's threat exposure management lifecycle and reduction programmes, as a people manager, reporting to the Senior Cyber Manager – Threat Exposure Management.

What you'll do

• Lead the technical direction and operational governance of Threat Exposure and Vulnerability Management across heterogeneous environments, including enterprise IT, OT/ICS systems (PLC, SCADA, DCS), multi-cloud architectures (such as Azure, AWS, GCP), container platforms, Kubernetes clusters, application stacks, CI/CD pipelines, Data, Identity, source-code repositories and AI/ML ecosystems.
• Oversee the full threat exposure lifecycle: continuous asset discovery, authenticated scanning, passive/active enumeration, exploitability analysis, threat correlation, prioritisation logic, risk acceptance workflows and exception governance.
• Ensure end-to-end integration with asset intelligence platforms, CMDB, CSPM, vulnerability scanners, code-security toolchains (SAST, SCA, DAST, IaC, secret scanning), and ASM/EASM technologies, establishing high-fidelity visibility across all attack-surface domains.
• Collaborate with Threat Intelligence to operationalise threat-led prioritisation, mapping exploit campaigns, adversary TTPs and industry-specific threat trends to internal exposure data.
• Align Vulnerability Management (VM) and Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) with predictive models and real-time intel feeds.
• Direct technical coordination with Red Team and Incident Response to validate exploit paths, confirm actual attack feasibility, and translate validation findings into actionable remediation and control enhancements, partnering with Protect capability and Issues Engineers.
• Govern cloud exposure management across CSPs, ensuring deep visibility into misconfigurations, identity privileges, network paths, storage exposures, API endpoints and container orchestration layers.
• Extend VM and CTEM coverage into OT/ICS environments with risk-aware, non-disruptive methods, coordinating with OT Security teams to identify vulnerabilities, weak configurations, outdated firmware, and unmanaged assets.
• Manage Vulnerability and Threat Exposure Management across Identity services, including account hygiene, privileged-access pathways, directory health, DNS/DHCP configurations, PKI integrity, authentication flows, domain controller posture, and any identity-linked misconfigurations that create exploitable attack paths.
• Oversee AI/ML exposure across data ingestion pipelines, model training and deployment layers, ensuring identification of risks such as model inversion, data poisoning, prompt injection, insecure model APIs and ungoverned LLM integrations.
• Maintain functional metrics and KPIs, delivering performance at or above agreed targets to support operational excellence.
• Develop and uphold operational dashboards, SOPs, workflows, playbooks and service definitions, ensuring high-quality, consistent, standards-driven service delivery.
• Lead remediation governance, risk-acceptance workflows, escalation pathways and exception management processes.
• Enable effective cross-team coordination across Cyber Functions such as Identity, Respond, Detect, Protect, Strategy, Delivery, Platform Engineering, Threat Intelligence, Architecture, Risk, Issues Engineers and Portfolio Cyber Leads.
• Deliver comprehensive operational dashboards and KPIs covering scanning coverage, vulnerability spread, backlog trends, survival and churn rates, threat posture, exposure windows, exploitability indicators, and Critically Exposed Assets (CEA) pipeline performance, ensuring accurate, timely reporting aligned to leadership expectations.
• Maintain structured analytics frameworks to measure remediation effectiveness, prioritisation accuracy and overall functional performance across all attack-surface domains.
• Partner with Operational Insights to provide insights and trend analysis that support continuous improvement, strategic planning and operational excellence across Cyber Operations.
• Directly manage a team of Threat Exposure and Vulnerability Management Analysts, including mentoring, developing and guiding security professionals.
• Co-develop and drive the function's technical vision, strategy and roadmap in alignment with business objectives and the organisation's threat appetite.
• Serve as the advisor and central point of contact for all Threat Exposure and Vulnerability Management matters across the organisation within a given scope.
• Build relationships with industry partners, vendors, and the wider technology ecosystem to benchmark performance and stay ahead of emerging threats and vulnerability trends.
• Develop trusted relationships across Cyber, Portfolio teams, Engineering, and Business functions, breaking down silos and promoting a values-driven culture of collective ownership of cyber risk.
• Champion staff education, awareness, and secure behaviours to embed a proactive, cyber-aware mindset across the organisation.
• Foster a responsive, delivery-focused culture that partners effectively with Technology and Business units to drive timely resolutions and value-led security outcomes.

What you'll need

• 8–10+ years of progressive experience in enterprise cyber security with demonstrable in-depth technical expertise across Threat Exposure Management, Vulnerability Management, Defensive and Offensive Security, Application Security, Cloud Security, OT/ICS Security, Data and Identity Security, and AI/ML Security.
• Experience must span large-scale, heterogeneous environments with complex technology stacks.
• Proven experience in directly managing a team of Threat Exposure and Vulnerability Management Analysts, including mentoring, developing and guiding security professionals within a collaborative, high-performing environment.
• Strong strategic and visionary capabilities, with the ability to co-develop and drive the function's technical vision, strategy and roadmap in alignment with business objectives and the organisation's threat appetite.
• Deep knowledge of vulnerability management, threat exposure management, exploit development concepts, exposure validation, and remediation governance.
• Strong understanding of common security vulnerabilities, attack vectors, and security testing frameworks, such as OWASP, MITRE ATT&CK, CVE / CVSS, and NIST SP 800-53.
• Robust expertise across technical domains such as IT, OT, Cloud, network security, container environments, and identity-centric security.
• Proven capability in AppSec, secure coding practices, CI/CD and IaC security, and DevSecOps tooling.
• Solid understanding of AI/ML architecture, AI security threats, LLM exposure risks, and secure integration patterns.
• Hands-on expertise with tooling in different landscapes: VM, ASM/EASM, AppSec, Cloud, OT, Data, Identity, AI.
• Advanced technical expertise in threat exposure, vulnerability management and defensive and offensive security, with the ability to lead deep technical discussions and conduct complex analysis.

Nice to have

• Certifications such as CISSP, CISM and GIAC (GMON, GICSP, GWEB, GCSA) are advantageous, but equivalent hands-on technical capability, advanced analytical proficiency, and a strong record of continuous learning and practical security training are essential.
