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 a Technical Program Manager on the Corporate Engineering team, you’ll lead complex, cross-functional programs that improve how Vantans work.

• Partner with cross-functional teams to identify needs, engage subject matter experts, and align solutions with business and operational goals

• Provide program management rigor across multiple concurrent initiatives, ensuring timely delivery and clear communication

• Communicate effectively across all levels of the organization, including senior leadership, tailoring messaging to different audiences

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.
