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.

Our Data and Analytics team is currently looking for a Senior Data Scientist to join us!

You’ll be responsible for laying the foundation for a best-in-class business analytics function. You’ll partner closely with our business stakeholders to ensure that our analytics stack and processes meet the business needs today with an eye towards the future.

What you’ll do as the Product Analytics Lead at Vanta:

1. Write DBT SQL pipelines to automate and manage data assets in Snowflake for our product partners.
2. Use Python/R with Hex.tech to conduct statistical analysis of product usage and engagement data.
3. Work in Sigma Computing to find insights in our customer journey.
4. Conduct and manage business-enhancing analytical projects: defining and predicting churn, specifying and building a product.
5. Set high standards for predictive analytics projects.
6. Define the analytics practice for our Product Analytics efforts.
7. Help craft our AI and LLM measurement practices.
8. Lead Analytics Reviews with C-level partners.

How to be successful in this role:

• Have at least 4 years of experience working with data as a data scientist/analyst in an applied business context.
• Deep experience with data visualization.
• Professional experience with statistics and analytical techniques.
• Experience with experiment design and hypothesis testing in small n experiments.
• Building models for predicting customer churn probability.
• Building models for predicting risk.
• Intense curiosity about data, the world, where they match, and why they do or don’t.
• Product lifecycle expertise, especially converting a product experience into a growth analytics framework.
• Executive communication skills to tell compelling stories about the status quo.
• Deep understanding of Product analytics stacks (Heap, Amplitude, StatSig, client stride tracking, browser mechanics) and integration with Customer Success teams.
• Deep understanding of Go-to-Market data stacks (Salesforce, Hubspot, Catalyst, Zendesk) and their integration with product data.
• Deep understanding of B2B SaaS predictive analytics.
• Experience working within Product Teams.
• Experience leading executive data reviews.
• Experience delivering change management with BI tooling.

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.

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.

About Vanta

We started in 2018, in response to several high-profile data breaches. Online security was becoming increasingly important, but we knew how challenging it could be for fast-growing companies to invest the necessary time and manpower to build a solid security foundation. Inspired by a vision to restore trust in internet businesses, Vanta enables companies to improve and demonstrate their security continuously. From automating security monitoring for standards like SOC 2, HIPAA, and ISO 27001 to creating the world's leading Trust Management Platform, our vision remains unchanged.

Today, 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 real-time and transparently.
