Senior Manager, Security Engineering

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. 

Vanta lives at the intersection of security and compliance, and our customers range from novices to deep experts - all of whom need and value having strong security and compliance programs driven by the best-in-market automation and orchestration tools we provide.

We are seeking an experienced Senior Manager of Security, reporting to the Director of Security, to lead our exceptionally talented Security Engineering team.

Vanta’s Security Engineering team provides essential security operational services, is directly involved in the software development process, sets policies and standards regarding enterprise-wide security requirements, and offers advisory services to enable our business to thrive while effectively managing risk.

What you’ll do as a Senior Manager of Security at Vanta:

- Lead and grow a team of the best security engineers in the world, with a view of security that is engineering-driven, human-centric, and trust-based.

- Help define the strategy for Vanta’s application security program, and empower the team to implement robust security protocols and stay ahead of emerging threats.

- Leverage AI to improve efficiency of team processes, and improve the maturity of the overall security program.

- Work with the Engineering and Product Development team to assess and communicate acceptable levels of risk, mitigate that risk, and help ensure that Vanta products are developed with security in mind.

- Provide, both individually and through your team, expert feedback to Vanta’s Product, Engineering, and Design teams on our product offerings and serve as a strong customer voice in product development.
