Job description

Audit Partner Manager - GRC & Compliance

At Vanta, our mission is to secure the internet and protect consumer data. We believe that security should be monitored and verified continuously, and we empower companies to practice better security and prove it with ease.

As the first Audit Partner Manager - GRC & Compliance in EMEA at Vanta, you will elevate our approach to our auditor partnerships, partnering with our auditor partners to drive key Vanta customer metrics.

Our audit partners are critical to Vanta's business as we scale our product and customer base. Our Audit Partner Managers (APMs) ensure that our audit partners are current on Vanta's product functionality and have the information needed to drive key Vanta customer metrics while growing their own businesses.

We're looking for someone who will bring a bias for action and a strong sense of ownership to this role, and who will help us think critically about how we should continue to partner with auditors as we grow.

• Manage a subset of Vanta audit partners
• Become an expert on Vanta's auditor product to train auditors and troubleshoot challenges
• Onboard and train auditors on Vanta continuously
• Collect, organize, and share actionable product feedback from audit partners to reduce friction for Vanta customers and partners
• Identify and co-drive commercial partnership opportunities with audit partners alongside our Channel sales team

How to be successful in this role:

• Experience working in an auditor firm
• Experience with security and privacy frameworks and regulations (e.g., SOC2, ISO 27001, GDPR)
• Security certifications (e.g., CISA, CISSP, CIPP/E) and/or formal education preferred but not required
• Fluency in written/spoken French and/or German preferred but not required
• Understanding of information security compliance and audit processes
• Highly driven self-starter who thrives in a dynamic environment
• Ability to assess and apply feedback from auditors and customers to improve products and processes
• Skilled in building trust and handling challenging conversations with partners
• Confident in leading financial discussions and business opportunities
• Collaborative with internal and external stakeholders, including technical teams

What you can expect as a Vantan:

• Industry-competitive salary and equity
• 100% covered medical, dental, and vision benefits with dependents coverage
• 16 weeks paid parental leave for all new parents
• Health & wellness stipend
• Remote workspace stipend
• Commuter benefits for attending the office
• Pension matching
• 25 days of PTO, unlimited sick time
• 8 company-paid holidays
• Virtual team activities, lunch and learns, and more
