Job description

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.

As the Vice President, Professional Services, Customer Success & Support at Vanta, you will lead our existing Customer Success and Support organizations and build Vanta’s Professional Services function from the ground up. You will refine and define the delivery model, team, service offerings, and standards that accelerate customer time-to-value across every segment we serve.

Vanta’s mission is to help businesses earn and prove trust. We help companies automate compliance, security, and risk management so they can move fast without sacrificing trust. Our GTM organization is at the center of that mission, bringing Vanta’s agentic trust platform to companies at every stage of growth, from early stage startups to global enterprises.

Professional Services, Customer Success, and Support together form a strategic, high-leverage function within Vanta’s GTM org. This VP will own the end-to-end delivery of implementation and consultative engagements that drive measurable outcomes for our customers, as well as ongoing account health, retention, and support across the customer lifecycle. This function will be a key driver of onboarding quality and long-term retention. You will own the combined Professional Services, Customer Success, and Support P&L, retention, support quality metrics, and services margin.

Working in close partnership with our Channel & Alliances team, you will also help equip and enable Vanta’s partner ecosystem, acting as a bridge between Vanta’s delivery standards and partner-led engagements to drive mutual customer success.

What you’ll do as a Vice President, Professional Services, Customer Success & Support at Vanta:

• Lead the Team

• Customers

• Own Delivery Execution

• Cross Functional Partnership

• Establish the Services Practice

How to be successful in this role:

• 10+ years in SaaS Professional Services, Customer Success, and/or Support, with 5+ years in a senior leadership role at a high-growth software and/or AI company.

• Proven builder: you’ve hired, structured, and developed a Professional Services or consulting organization from scratch and know what great looks like at every level.

• Proven operator of established Customer Success and/or Support organizations: experience taking over an existing team and driving measurable improvements in retention, efficiency, or quality.

• Track record of owning services revenue, with experience scoping, pricing, and selling professional services engagements including SOWs, change orders, and renewals.

• AI-forward mindset: you actively use AI tools to drive team productivity and delivery quality, and you’ve experimented with (or built) AI-enabled workflows in a services or customer-facing context.

• Strong operator: you build processes, implement tools, and use data to drive decisions.

• Executive presence with the ability to navigate complex enterprise customer relationships and serve as a credible partner to C-suite stakeholders.

• Familiarity with compliance and security frameworks (SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, etc.) and the ability to translate them into customer-facing delivery strategies.

• Familiarity with key platforms in the compliance and security ecosystem (AWS, Okta, Azure/EntraID, GCP, Jira, etc.).

• Industry-competitive salary and equity

• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage, with 100% of employee-only benefit premiums covered for most medical plans

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.
