What Vanta is looking for in applicants
As a Staff Product Manager, you will play a critical role in shaping Vanta's culture and product strategy. 
 
Vanta is on a mission to secure the internet and protect consumer data. Before Vanta, companies were stuck in a perpetual cycle of having to make the feature vs compliance and security tradeoff. Vanta has automated and streamlined the process of getting secure and compliant for thousands of companies through deep integrations and automation. 
As a Staff Product Manager, you will play a critical role in shaping Vanta's culture and product strategy. You will mentor team members and cross-functional partners who are interested in product management. You will dive deep into the security and compliance space and develop innovative products to make it easier, faster and (dare we say) delightful for Vanta’s customers to ensure our customers stay secure and compliant.

  • Clearly prioritize product goals, create focus for your team, and ensure we prototype, iterate, and launch frequently
  • Drive projects from conception through launch, with a focus on consistent execution and stakeholder collaboration
  • Partner with engineering, design, other product managers, and business-owners to deliver valuable solutions for our customers
  • Mentor PMs and cross-functional partners
  • Help to define and shape Vanta's product team culture as we grow
 
How to be successful in this role:
  • Have 6+ years of product management experience at a high-growth, scaling company
  • Possess a strong sense of technical acumen, or familiarity with technical products
  • Have a strong business acumen and past experience partnering with business teams
  • Be deeply curious, empathetic, and user-centric, with a knack for driving effective collaboration amongst your stakeholders
  • Have an ability to balance strategic product planning with consistent execution and project management
  • Have prior experience in the security space or interest in learning about security
 
What you can expect as a Vantan:
  • Industry-Competitive Salary and Equity
  • 100% covered Medical, Dental, and Vision Benefits with Dependents Coverage
  • 16 Weeks Fully Paid Parental Leave for All New Parents (Moms, Dads, Adoptive, Foster)
  • Health & Wellness Stipend

About Vanta
We started Vanta in 2016 as Equifax had lost every American's social security number, Home Depot had leaked its customers' credit card numbers to hackers, and Facebook admitted that it irresponsibly sent user data to third parties who tried to influence the US election. It was clear that security and privacy had become mainstream issues, and that we all increasingly relied on cloud services to store everything from our personal photos to our communications at work.
 
Vanta's mission is to be the layer of trust on top of these services, and to secure the internet, increase trust in software companies, and keep consumer data safe.
 
We do this by building an automated head of security for technology companies, and we use that system to both help a company secure itself and to prove their security to others.
 
If we succeed in our mission, it should feel irresponsible for users to put data into a product that isn't certified by Vanta, and irresponsible for companies to collect data without using Vanta to secure and monitor themselves.
