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 Senior Engineering Manager leading our Reporting & Enterprise Hub teams, you'll shape how Vanta's largest enterprise customers manage and visualize their compliance programs at scale. This role sits at the intersection of data products, enterprise scalability, and product innovation—delivering visibility and actionable insights that empower organizations like PE firms and JPMC-scale companies to manage complex compliance programs with strict financial boundaries between business units.

You'll build and lead a team of engineers across two distinct squads: the Reporting team focused on evolving our reporting product offering to meet enterprise data needs, and the Enterprise Hub team building management capabilities for large organizations managing GRC activities across multiple business units. This role represents an exciting opportunity to shape the future of how enterprise customers interact with their compliance data.

This is a high-impact, high-visibility role where you'll directly influence Vanta's ability to serve enterprise customers and multi-business-unit organizations. You'll navigate 0-1 product development opportunities while evolving traditional reporting into modern data products that integrate seamlessly with customer BI tools. With a strong growth trajectory and the potential for career advancement within our rapidly growing GRC organization, you'll tackle interesting technical challenges around scalable reporting infrastructure, data product architecture, and multi-tenancy at the business unit level.

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.
