Technical Program Manager - Vulnerability Management

**Job Description** Oracle's Global Physical Security (GPS) team protects our people, facilities, data centers, and our customer operations worldwide. We design and operate resilient, scalable, and privacy-aware physical security solutions in close partnership with Real Estate & Facilities, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, Data Center Engineering, Legal/Privacy, Procurement, and Regional Security Operations. GPS is seeking a Technical Program Manager to lead a risk-driven, enterprise-scale vulnerability management program across cyber-physical security technologies. You will own strategy and execution for discovery, assessment, prioritization, and remediation of vulnerabilities impacting access control, video management, SOC platforms, security networks, servers/endpoints, cloud services, and integrations. The role emphasizes risk-based decisioning, automation, cross-functional influence, and audit-ready governance aligned to Oracle's security, privacy, and compliance standards. **Responsibilities** + Daily Responsibilities + Operate a risk-driven vulnerability program that prioritizes by exploitability, asset criticality, exposure, and business impact (e.g., KEV, EPSS, threat intel). + Manage end-to-end workflow: discovery, validation, owner assignment, remediation/mitigation, verification, and closure. + Distinguish and handle internet-exposed vs. internal and OT/IoT assets differently; ensure appropriate SLAs and controls by tier. + Maintain defensible evidence: scan results, ticket trails, approvals, exception/risk-acceptance records, and verification artifacts. + Provide clear, actionable remediation guidance; escalate high-velocity or zero-day risks rapidly and calmly. + Project Participation + Embed vulnerability requirements into new builds, retrofits, and cloud/service integrations for GPS systems. + Review designs for hardening, segmentation, least privilege, and logging; validate secure configurations during FAT/SAT/commissioning. + Coordinate remediation windows with operations and site teams; validate fixes and regressions post-change. + Governance, risk, and compliance + Align program with ISO 27001, NIST 800-53/CSF, and Oracle policies; map controls to audit evidence. + Define risk tiers, SLAs/OLAs, exception processes, and reporting; drive remediation accountability with service owners. + Support privacy-by-design for systems processing personal data (e.g., video, access logs) and coordinate with Legal/Privacy as needed. + Operations enablement + Publish standards, secure baselines, and hardening guides (e.g., CIS Benchmarks) for servers, endpoints, networks, containers/K8s, and cloud. + Build runbooks and playbooks for scanning, validation, patching, compensating controls, and verification. + Mentor developers and regional teams; uplift practices in threat-informed prioritization and measurement. + Technology evaluation + Evaluate and tune scanners and pipelines (e.g., network/agent-based, container/K8s, cloud-native, SCA/SBOM, SAST/DAST/IAST) for coverage and signal quality. + Automate deduplication, asset-owner routing, and fix verification; reduce false positives and toil through APIs and integrations. + Assess vendor solutions for interoperability, API security, data handling, and alignment with zero trust and segmentation principles. + Stakeholder engagement + Influence without authority across OCI, Data Center Engineering, RE&F, Regional Security Operations, IT/Network, SRE, AppSec, and GRC. + Communicate risk, trade-offs, and progress to both technical and executive audiences with crisp, data-driven reporting. + Engage vendors/integrators to track advisories, patches, and secure configurations for GPS platforms. **Minimum Qualifications** + 5+ years running or leading vulnerability management in large, complex enterprises. + Strong understanding of networks, operating systems, cloud (IaaS/PaaS/SaaS), containers/K8s, endpoints, and application security. + Hands-on with scanners and code/dependency tools (e.g., Qualys/Tenable/Rapid7, cloud-native scanners, SCA/SBOM, SAST/DAST/IAST). + Knowledge of CVE/CWE patterns, CVSS and risk modifiers (e.g., EPSS, CISA KEV), exploit timelines, and compensating controls. + Experience with segmentation, zero trust, least privilege, logging/monitoring, and secure baselines (CIS Benchmarks). + Proven ability to manage internet-exposed, internal, and OT/IoT asset classes with differentiated controls and SLAs. + Demonstrated capability to maintain audit-ready evidence and drive remediation through others. **Preferred Qualifications** + Certifications such as CISSP, CISM, GCSA, GCDA, GCIH, GCTI, or comparable. + Familiarity with GPS technology stacks (ACS, VMS, PSIM/C2, SOC platforms) and their supporting networks. + Experience with CMDB/asset intelligence, ITSM/GRC tools, SIEM/SOAR, and automation via APIs/integrations. + Background in incident response for zero-day events and rapid patch/mitigation programs. **Key Competencies** + Risk-driven prioritization and threat-informed decision making. + Technical breadth across infra, cloud, containers, applications, and OT/IoT. + Program design, metrics, and continuous improvement; KPI/KRI-driven reporting. + Cross-functional influence and stakeholder management without formal authority. + Clear written/verbal communication and executive-ready storytelling. + Calm under pressure; decisive during zero-day events; resilient and composed. + High integrity, discretion, and commitment to privacy and compliance. **Work Model and Travel** + Strong ability to work independently and with teams across global time zones. **Notes** + Adherence to Oracle's security, privacy, and compliance standards is mandatory. + When proposing or integrating third-party tools or services, ensure alignment with Oracle's internal security, privacy, and procurement guidelines. \#LI-CG2 Disclaimer: **Certain US customer or client-facing roles may be required to comply with applicable requirements, such as immunization and occupational health mandates.** **Range and benefit information provided in this posting are specific to the stated locations only** US: Hiring Range in USD from: $106,300 to $223,400 per annum.
