Business Analyst

Ross Stores • Dublin, CA

About The Position

The IT Business Analyst (Vulnerability Remediation) helps protect our enterprise by validating, prioritizing, and driving remediation of security vulnerabilities across our environment – including Corporate HQ, stores, distribution centers, and supply chain systems. You will partner with Infrastructure and Application teams to reduce risk at scale, improve patch compliance, and ensure adherence to regulatory/industry frameworks (e.g., PCI-DSS, SOX).

This is a hands-on role focused on scan analysis, false-positive triage, remediation orchestration, and metrics. Ideal candidates are data-driven, comfortable with large enterprise environments, and proactive in turning findings into action.

Analysis includes security, system, and business impact at times. In security impact, the candidate must have a good understanding of the security implications of a patch although not a security SME. In system impact, the candidate must analyze and foresee the side effects of the patch.

This position, therefore, requires soft skills, such working as a team, verbal and written communications, understanding business issues, customer focus and listening to constructive feedback. One of the most important qualities is to optimize existing (patch) processes. The candidate must possess an innovative mindset.
The base salary range for this role is $84,700 – $136,150. The base salary range is dependent on factors including, but not limited to, experience, skills, qualifications, relevant education, certifications, seniority, and location. The range listed is just one component of the total compensation package for employees. Other rewards vary by position and location.
