• Define and oversee enterprise metrics and reporting that measure discovery and coverage efficacy, control outcomes, governance health, service performance, rule compliance, remediation trends, and downstream impact
• Coordinate enterprise responses to systemic issues and ensure local remediation, exception, and risk-acceptance decisions remain with the appropriate control and business owners
• Partner with the Vulnerability Management Product or Service Owner on strategy, roadmap, prioritization, capability uplift, annual coverage review, and the distinction between routine improvement and material enterprise change
• Coordinate with Audit, Compliance, Operational Risk, and regulatory engagement teams to ensure Vulnerability Management leaders can provide coherent, evidence-based explanations of firmwide scope, methodology, control outcomes, and material decisions
• Promote automation, reusable governance patterns, and auditable workflows that improve the quality, timeliness, and traceability of Vulnerability Management decisions and follow-through
