Job Description
Are you passionate about cyber security and protecting critical digital services that make a real difference to people's lives? We are looking for a Cyber Vulnerability Manager to lead and develop our vulnerability management function, helping to identify, assess and reduce cyber risks across NHS Wales.
In this highly influential role, you will oversee vulnerability scanning, assessment and remediation activities, ensuring systems and applications remain secure against existing and emerging threats. Working with a wide range of stakeholders, you will provide expert advice, develop improvement initiatives and support the delivery of a strong cyber security culture across the organisation.
As a leader within the Cyber Security team, you will manage and support specialist staff, helping them to develop their skills while creating an inclusive and collaborative environment where everyone can thrive. You will also contribute to strategic cyber security planning, helping shape future security capabilities and continuously improving services for our users.
This is an exciting opportunity for someone with strong technical expertise, excellent leadership skills and a passion for continuous improvement. If you enjoy solving complex challenges, influencing positive change and working in a role where your expertise directly supports vital public services, we would love to hear from you.
Main duties of the job
As Cyber Vulnerability Manager, you will lead the delivery of vulnerability management services across a complex digital environment. You will coordinate vulnerability assessments, analyse security findings and work closely with technical teams, suppliers and service owners to ensure risks are effectively managed and remediated.
You will oversee vulnerability scanning tools, penetration testing activities and associated contracts, ensuring services remain effective, compliant and aligned with organisational objectives. Using data and intelligence from multiple sources, you will assess risk, identify trends and produce reports that support informed decision-making at operational and strategic levels.
A key part of the role will involve developing policies, procedures and standards that strengthen cyber resilience and support continuous improvement. You will lead projects, manage priorities and contribute to cyber security improvement programmes, ensuring outcomes are delivered on time and to a high standard.
The post holder will also build strong relationships across the organisation and wider NHS, providing expert guidance, delivering training and awareness activities, and helping teams understand and manage cyber security risks in a practical and collaborative way.

* Work collaboratively with technical teams, suppliers and stakeholders to coordinate remediation activity and improve security outcomes.
