Your attention to detail, focused on customer needs, will drive compelling technical evaluations and proof-of-concept engagements. This will ultimately accelerate deal velocity and increase win rates while helping to shape competitive positioning, sales strategy, and product roadmap feedback.

• Have strong project management skills with a proven ability to operate in a startup environment that lacks structure of a larger organization

• Be creative, technical, and naturally persuasive

• Be detail‑oriented and organized.

• Love listening to customers, discussing strategy with colleagues, but also diving into the weeds.

• Be familiar with REST API development and service integrations is a plus

• Be authorized to work in the U.S. without the need for current or future employer sponsorship

• Use AI in day-to-day work to amplify your skills and strengthen your outcomes, applying it across routine workflows, actively building fluency through experimentation, and exercising sound judgment to ensure AI-assisted work meets a high quality bar

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.
