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.

We are looking for an exceptional Senior People Business Partner (PBP) to support Vanta’s Engineering, Product, and Design (EPD) organization.

You’ll play a critical role in accelerating Vanta’s growth and helping our EPD leaders build, develop and retain world-class teams. Vanta’s PBP team is unique and our PBPs are exceptionally talented - they are “quarterbacks” for all People matters for the leaders and managers they support, and deeply involved in the business, given that our overall touchstone is that all People Team initiatives tie back to clear business outcomes.

Examples of work that our PBP team does include leading change management, partnering on org design and strategy, driving people initiatives to engage and retain talent. You will be functionally embedded with the teams you support, and work with cross-functional stakeholders on their behalf, in order to help them achieve their business outcomes. Our PBP team is world class, and has historically delivered outsized service and outcomes. We’re looking for the most thoughtful, practical, and business-minded BPs to join the team and maintain/raise the bar!

What you’ll do as a Senior People Business Partner at Vanta:

• Serve as a trusted thought partner, consultant and coach to senior leaders across the EPD organization

• Be the primary point of contact on all people-related matters for assigned EPD client group at all levels

• Provide support, guidance and thought leadership on areas such as performance management, change management, employee relations, workforce and talent planning, career development, manager development, etc.

• Collect and analyze data to deliver insights and drive recommendations that support the business

• Assess organizational health and effectiveness on a regular basis and identify opportunities to drive improvements and efficiencies

• Drive the project management and execution of critical People programs such as performance reviews, compensation planning, talent reviews, and engagement surveys

• In partnership with cross-functional stakeholders and the broader People team, build and implement top-tier, scalable programs and policies to attract, retain and grow outstanding talent at Vanta.

How to be successful in this role:

• 5+ years of experience as a BP supporting senior leaders in a fast-paced environment; experience supporting EPD organizations in high-growth companies a plus

• Strong business acumen and insatiable curiosity to learn how the business and your client groups operate

• Excellent influencer, communicator, facilitator, and listener with a balanced and thoughtful approach to building trust across all levels of the organization

• Creativity and grit to skillfully problem solve and navigate dynamic, ambiguous situations

• Outstanding project management and organizational skills

• Ability to analyze data and effectively communicate key insights, getting resourceful when data might not be readily available

• A demonstrated track record of bias for action, rolling up your sleeves and getting things done

• Experience partnering on mergers and acquisitions (M&A) a plus

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 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.
