Cyber Exposure Management Expert (m/w/d)

It all starts with the mission: NVISO is here to protect European society from potentially devastating cyber attacks. This means we offer cyber security services to private and governmental organizations to help them better prepare for, prevent, detect and respond to cyber security incidents. All of this is built on four fundamental values that define who we are: We are Proud, We Break Barriers, We Care and No BS!

Tasks

As Cyber Exposure Management Expert (m/w/d) located in Germany, you will be the technical lead for developing NVISO's Cyber Exposure offering. You will define how Vulnerability Management, Asset Management, hardening, Patch Management, reporting and remediation work together through clear processes and responsibilities, and guide the technical decisions that make the service work for our clients.

You will be the expert clients and colleagues turn to for the complete picture: which assets matter, where they are exposed, who needs to act and whether remediation has worked. You will design the processes, integrations and reporting that connect these questions, lead complex customer engagements and help other consultants deliver the service. You will advise on hardening and help clients establish ownership, remediation targets and a process that fits their IT operations.

You will also shape what we build next. Starting from our existing Vulnerability Management capabilities, you will develop the technical roadmap towards Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) and assess where Attack Surface analysis, exposure validation and Quantum Readiness belong in the offering. This gives you room to propose solutions, build prototypes and test them with clients before turning them into repeatable services.

Typical responsibilities include:

• Defining the technical architecture and delivery approach for the Cyber Exposure offering, connecting Vulnerability Management, Asset Management, hardening, Patch Management, reporting and remediation, with clear roles and governance;
• Leading technical delivery on customer engagements, advising on remediation and hardening, resolving design and integration problems and reviewing the quality of our work;
• Linking vulnerability findings to asset inventories, CMDBs, cloud environments, business services and owners, and resolving gaps in coverage and data quality;
• Designing remediation processes with owners, priorities, SLAs, escalation, risk acceptance and closure checks, aligned with Change Management and supported by ITSM, Patch Management and other remediation solutions;
• Building reporting that shows clients their exposure and remediation progress, with clear priorities for technical teams and reliable measures of coverage, ageing, SLA performance and accepted risk for management;
• Advising on secure configurations and hardening baselines for infrastructure and cloud environments, reducing unnecessary exposure and proposing compensating controls when patching is not immediately possible;
• Keeping up with developments in Exposure Management and evaluating AI and agentic solutions through targeted pilots to improve existing approaches to prioritization, remediation guidance and reporting. You will test accuracy and usefulness, protect client data and define human oversight, including approval before AI recommendations trigger remediation actions;
• Turning client needs into service packages, technical standards and delivery methods, coaching consultants and providing technical input for proposals and scoping;
• Developing the service roadmap and evaluating new capabilities through pilots, including CTEM, Attack Surface analysis and cryptographic discovery, Crypto Agility and Post Quantum Cryptography migration planning. You will help decide which capabilities are ready to become services and what we need to deliver them well.

Requirements

• You hold citizenship in one of the 32 NATO member states or the Austrian citizenship;
• Bachelor's or Master's degree in a relevant field, or equivalent professional experience;
• Strong practical experience in Vulnerability Management, including scanning platforms, prioritization based on asset criticality and exploitability, and remediation processes, with the ability to guide technical decisions on customer engagements;
• Understanding of enterprise infrastructure, networking and cloud environments, with practical experience advising on secure configurations, hardening baselines and compensating controls;
• Experience connecting security findings with asset inventories, CMDBs or Asset Management platforms, including ownership mapping and improving data quality;
• Experience designing security dashboards and management reports that make priorities, progress and data limitations clear;
• Experience designing remediation processes across security and IT teams, including ownership, SLAs, exceptions and Change Management. Familiarity with ITSM and remediation platforms is expected; scripting and API skills are an advantage;
• Ability to design a solution across several tools and processes, explain the technical choices and guide colleagues through implementation. Experience developing a consulting service is an advantage;
• Interest in developing CTEM and Quantum Readiness services and testing AI applications in security operations. Experience evaluating AI or agentic solutions is an advantage. Experience with Attack Surface analysis, Crypto Agility or Post Quantum Cryptography is welcome; you do not need to be an expert in every area on day one;
• Fluent business English and professional fluency in the relevant local language(s).
