What are the responsibilities and job description for the Vulnerability Management Lead position at Booz Allen?

Vulnerability Management Lead

The Opportunity:

Booz Allen is seeking a senior Vulnerability Management professional to support DoD clients by modernizing ACAS capabilities and designing enterprise-scale STIG compliance solutions. This role is positioned as a trusted advisor and technical lead, helping clients move from fragmented compliance execution to repeatable enterprise cyber risk management, continuous monitoring, and mission velocity.

The ideal candidate will operate comfortably at the intersection of architecture, engineering, and client influence while driving hands-on outcomes.

What You’ll Do:

  • Lead ACAS modernization efforts, transitioning Tenable deployments from basic scanning to enterprise vulnerability management services.
  • Modernize ACAS implementation by standardizing scan policies, credentialed coverage, asset tagging, and data hygiene.
  • Design contractor-operated workflows for vulnerability intake, prioritization, remediation tracking, and risk acceptance.
  • Integrate ACAS outputs into customer POA&M processes, ATO sustainment activities, and reporting requirements.
  • Advise government stakeholders on vulnerability prioritization, risk tradeoffs, and RMF integration.
  • Partner with cyber engineering, architecture, and RMF teams to align vulnerability management with Zero Trust modernization initiatives.
  • Produce executive-level briefings on cyber risk posture, trends, and remediation effectiveness.
  • Develop enterprise STIG compliance frameworks that enable control inheritance, reuse, and automation across systems.
  • Standardize STIG baselines, tailoring decisions, and documentation to reduce per-system compliance burden.
  • Implement and maintain SCAP or STIG tooling such as SCC, OpenSCAP, and vendor solutions, across server, endpoint, and platform technologies.
  • Produce defensible STIG artifacts and evidence packages to support ATOs and continuous monitoring.
  • Advise system owners and ISSMs on remediation strategies and risk-based deviations.
  • Automate repeatable tasks using scripting and workflow tooling, where feasible.
  • Integrate ACAS and STIG outputs with customer ticketing, GRC, or reporting systems.

Join us. The world can’t wait.

You Have:

  • 7 years of experience supporting DoD or IC customer cybersecurity programs
  • Experience with ACAS, including Tenable.sc or Nessus, in enterprise environments
  • Experience designing enterprise STIG compliance solutions
  • Knowledge of RMF, NIST 800-53, POA&M management, and continuous monitoring
  • Ability to mentor junior staff, contribute to internal IP, playbooks, and reusable artifacts, and support contract deliverables, metrics, and reporting requirements
  • Ability to interface directly with government stakeholders, providing clear and concise risk-based recommendations
  • Active TS/SCI clearance; willingness to take a polygraph exam
  • Associate’s degree and 5 years of experience supporting IT projects and activities, Bachelor’s degree and 3 years of experience supporting IT projects and activities, or Master’s degree and 1 years of experience supporting IT projects and activities

  • Ability to obtain a DoD 8570.01-M Cybersecurity Service Provider - Infrastructure Support Certification such as CEH, CySA , GICSP, SSCP, CHFI, CFR, Cloud , or CND Certification, within 30 days of start date

Nice If You Have:

  • Experience supporting large multi-program or enterprise-level DoD contracts
  • Experience with ServiceNow, Xacta, eMASS, or similar GRC or ATO tooling
  • Experience with scripting or automation using tools such as Python and PowerShell
  • Experience in cloud or hybrid DoD environments such as AWS GovCloud and Azure Government
