The Security Posture Management (SPM) program is responsible for providing a centralized view of security incident-driven issues across the organization and driving consistent, risk-based remediation across teams. As a Remediation Manager, you will own the end-to-end lifecycle of security issues from intake and prioritization through remediation and closure. You will partner with security domain teams, engineering teams, infrastructure teams, and business stakeholders to ensure high-priority security risks are clearly owned and remediated within defined timelines. This role requires a strong combination of security knowledge, program management, data-driven decision-making, and cross-functional influence. Responsibilities - Manage security issues identified across multiple sources, including security incidents, vulnerability management, penetration testing, risk assessments, insider risk, and other security programs. - Establish, customize, and maintain centralized issue tracking and remediation management systems, and continuously enhance automated posture management processes — including findings intake, remediation ticketing, ownership assignment, action planning, severity calibration, escalation, and closure — to streamline operations across Incident Response, Vulnerability Management, and other security domains. - Partner with security domain teams to conduct root-cause analyses, identify systemic control gaps, and co-design sustainable remediation solutions that translate security findings into executable projects and initiatives. - Drive end-to-end remediation of high-priority security issues with security domain teams, security BP, engineering, infrastructure, IT, and other stakeholder teams. - Define clear remediation strategies, action plans, milestones, accountable owners, and target completion dates based on risk and business impact. - Proactively identify and resolve remediation blockers, cross-team dependencies, ownership gaps, and competing priorities. - Escalate overdue, blocked, or high-risk issues through appropriate governance and leadership channels when necessary. - Validate remediation implementation and supporting evidence, partnering with security SMEs to confirm that identified risks have been effectively addressed and closure criteria are met. - Develop security posture dashboards and reporting to provide clear visibility into remediation roadmaps, progress, key milestones, and overall risk reduction.
