• Develop and maintain patching schedules, maintenance windows, and deployment strategies that balance security requirements with operational needs. 

• Coordinate closely with government system owners and application support teams to obtain approvals, schedule changes, communicate impact, and minimize service disruption. 

• Work flexible hours, including nights, weekends, and on-call rotations, to perform patching during approved maintenance windows. 

• Monitor patch compliance rates, generate metrics and status reports, and present findings to leadership and stakeholders. 

• Investigate and resolve patching failures, deployment issues, and exceptions; perform root-cause analysis and implement corrective actions. 

• Maintain accurate documentation of patching procedures, configurations, and remediation activities. 

• Support vulnerability management program initiatives, including exception handling, risk acceptance processes, and continuous improvement efforts. 

• Collaborate with security, infrastructure, and application teams to ensure patches are tested and deployed in a controlled manner.

• BS degree in computer science or related field
• Must have a TS clearance

• Strong working knowledge of IBM BigFix for endpoint patching and compliance. 

• Experience reading, interpreting, and acting on vulnerability reports from Tenable (Tenable.sc or Nessus). 

• Familiarity with Splunk for searching logs, creating reports, and monitoring patching-related events. 

• Solid understanding of the vulnerability management lifecycle (scanning, prioritization, remediation, and verification). 

• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to coordinate effectively with government customers and technical teams. 

• Demonstrated ability to work independently and manage competing priorities in a dynamic environment. 

• Willingness and ability to work nights, weekends, and during off-hours as required for patching activities. 

Preferred Qualifications

• Scripting/automation experience (PowerShell preferred; Python a plus) to streamline patching processes. 

• Knowledge of multiple operating systems (Windows Server/Desktop and Linux). 

• Relevant certifications such as CompTIA Security+, Microsoft certifications (e.g., MD-102, AZ-800/801), or Tenable-certified credentials are highly preferred
