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.

Being an SDR at Vanta is, first and foremost, about hitting targets and driving revenue. But beyond that, it’s about joining a community that is deeply committed to your success and career growth. We believe that the future of our sales organization lies with our SDRs, which is why we place a strong emphasis on enablement and career advancement. You’ll receive the training, support, and mentorship you need to excel, with a clear path to advance within our sales team.

We're looking for someone with at least 6 months of SDR/BDR experience under their belt. You'll get major bonus points if you've hunted big game and have experience prospecting into large companies (500+ employees).

This role is hybrid in office in San Francisco 3 days per week.

Vanta is in a period of rapid growth, consistently outpacing our targets while maintaining stellar NPS scores. It’s an incredibly exciting time to join our team. As a Vantan, you’ll be part of a talented group of professionals who are passionate about making an impact. Join us, and you’ll not only help shape the future of internet security but also build a rewarding career in a company that truly values and invests in its people.

How to be successful in this role

• Have an enthusiasm for Cold Calling: Cold calling is at the heart of this role. Your excitement for picking up the phone and engaging with potential customers will set you apart.

• Be Strategic: Managing your book of accounts requires a strategic mindset. Success comes from not just hitting numbers but also knowing which accounts to prioritize and how to tailor your approach to each one.

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.

To provide greater transparency to candidates, we share base pay ranges for all US-based job postings regardless of state. We set standard base pay ranges for all roles based on function, level, and country location, benchmarked against similar-stage growth companies. Final offer amounts are determined by multiple factors and may vary based on candidate location, skills, depth of work experience, and relevant licenses/credentials.

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.
