Job description

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. Vanta has a kind and talented team, and while some have prior security experience, many have been successful at Vanta without it.

As the Audit Partner Manager 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 continue to 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 that they need to drive key Vanta customer metrics while growing their own businesses.

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

• Manage a subset of Vanta audit partners - specifically Mid-tier and Big 4 firms

• Become an expert on Vanta’s auditor product so that you can train auditors on Vanta and also troubleshoot challenges that auditors are having with the product

• Onboard and continuously train auditors on Vanta

• Collect, organize, and share actionable, and useful product feedback from our audit partners that might reduce friction for Vanta customers and audit partners alike

• Unearth and co-drive commercial partnership opportunities with our audit partners alongside our Channel sales team

How to be successful in this role:

• Experience working in an auditor firm (preferably the Big 4)

• Experience working with security and privacy frameworks and regulations, including SOC2, ISO 27001, ISO 27701, GDPR, DORA, NIS2, TISAX, etc.

• Security certifications (e.g. CISA, CISSP, CIPP/E, ISO 27001 Lead Auditor) and/or formal education preferred but not required

• Understanding of information security compliance and audit processes

• Highly driven self-starter that thrives in a dynamic environment

• Confidently assess and apply feedback from auditors and customers to improve products and internal processes

• Skilled in building trust and handling challenging conversations with partners

• Confident in leading financial discussions and enhancing business opportunities

• Collaborative with both internal and external stakeholders, including technical teams

What you can expect as a Vantan:

• Industry-competitive compensation

• 100% covered medical, dental, and vision benefits with dependents coverage

• 16 weeks fully-paid parental Leave for all new parents

• Health & wellness and remote workplace stipends

• Family planning benefits through Carrot Fertility

• 401(k) matching

• Flexible work hours and location

• Open PTO policy

• 11 paid holidays in the US

• Offices in SF, NYC, London, Dublin, and Sydney
