About The Position

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 Manager of EPD Sourcing, you'll lead and evolve a high-performing team of technical sourcers focused on identifying and engaging global engineering, product, and design talent. This is a strategic, high-impact role where you'll partner with recruiting leadership and EPD leaders to develop proactive, scalable talent strategies that directly shape Vanta's ability to build exceptional products. Exceptional organizations are built on exceptional talent, and sourcing plays a pivotal role in uncovering and engaging the game-changing individuals who redefine what's possible. We're looking for a sourcing leader who combines vision with disciplined execution, sets a high bar for performance, and helps shape how the company approaches talent at scale. This is a hands-on leadership role focused on impact and partnership. You’ll coach your team through nuanced hiring challenges, diagnose and resolve pipeline issues, and build strategy that elevates sourcing as a strategic partner to the business.
