• Distill complex problems and opportunities into clearly prioritized product goals, focus for your team, and high-quality execution in collaboration with stakeholders across the company

• Deliver a high quality product addressing key customer pain points and creating opportunities for competitive advantage

• Help define and shape Vanta's product team culture as we grow

How to be successful in this role:

• Have 5+ years of product management experience, with a proven track record for delivering high-quality products to customers in the SaaS/B2B space

• Have experience and an interest in shipping AI products or leveraging AI technology to solve customer problems

• Possess a customer-focused mindset, proactively reach out to customers and prospects, while simultaneously partnering with go-to-market teams

• Ability to disambiguate complex problem areas, with the analytical skills to make data driven recommendations and decisions

• Be deeply curious, empathetic, and user-centric, with a knack for driving effective collaboration amongst your stakeholders

• Have the ability to bring a product roadmap to life through consistent execution and project management

• Excellent communication both written and verbal, to effectively communicate ideas and requirements to team members, stakeholders, and executives

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

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.
