At Vanta, our mission is to help businesses earn and prove trust. We believe that security should be monitored and verified continuously, and we empower companies to practice better security and prove it with ease. Vanta has a kind and talented team, and while some have prior security experience, many have been successful at Vanta without it.

As Vanta continues to grow, winning in the International markets will be critical. We're just starting to establish our EMEA presence, and we need talented and customer focused Account Executives who are excited to help build and grow a large and untapped CEE market as we continue to distinguish Vanta as best-in-class to prospects in a burgeoning competitive landscape.

• Run a world-class sales process - qualify deeply, forecast accurately, and progress deals using MEDDPICC or a similar structured methodology to drive predictable outcomes.
• Convert interest into long-term value - educate prospects on the business impact of Vanta, deliver compelling demos, and tailor solution recommendations to each customer's goals.
• Communicate with executive presence - engage confidently with founders, CEOs, and technical leaders, translating complex compliance and security concepts into clear business value.
• Continuously sharpen your craft - act on feedback, seek coaching, and contribute to improving team playbooks, messaging, and outbound best practices.
• Be a self-starter who makes things happen - operate with urgency, ownership, and autonomy in a fast-moving environment where results matter.
• Champion market expansion - explore partnership opportunities, represent Vanta at industry events, and help us deepen our presence in new and existing markets.
• Cross-Functional - working alongside our SDR team, marketing team, legal and Solutions Engineers to find, run and win deals.

How to be successful in this role:

• Polish and English language proficiency is required
• 4+ years closing experience
• Have had a closing and quota-carrying role in the past, while consistently exceeding monthly and quarterly sales targets
• Be experienced in B2B SaaS, preferably in SMB and Mid-Market
• Be highly curious, seeking to understand customers, their needs and how best Vanta can help them
• Possess the technical competency to understand Vanta's software and build great relationships with highly technical prospects
• Have stellar problem-solving skills, and an enthusiasm for making a large impact early on at a start-up
• Have entrepreneurial spirit, initiative and autonomy so you can make a huge contribution to the EMEA landing team

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 (birthing, non-birthing, and adoptive)
• Health & wellness stipend

At Vanta, we are committed to hiring diverse talent of different backgrounds and as such, it is important to us to provide an inclusive work environment for all. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, gender identity, age, religion, sexual orientation, veteran or disability status, or any other protected class. As an equal opportunity employer, we encourage and welcome people of all backgrounds to apply.

About Vanta

We started in 2018, in the wake of several high-profile data breaches. Online security was only becoming more important, but we knew firsthand how hard it could be for fast-growing companies to invest the time and manpower it takes to build a solid security foundation. Vanta was inspired by a vision to restore trust in internet businesses by enabling companies to improve and prove their security. From our early days automating security monitoring for compliance standards like SOC 2, HIPAA and ISO 27001 to creating the world's leading Trust Management Platform, our vision remains unchanged.

Now more than ever, making security continuous-not just a point-in-time check- is essential. Thousands of companies rely on Vanta to build, maintain and demonstrate their trust- all in a way that's real-time and transparent.
