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 Principal Product Manager of Vanta’s Platform teams, you will define and deliver the core capabilities that power all of Vanta’s products: Identity (RBAC, SCIM), Permissions, Enterprise Admin, Collaboration (notifications, tasks, comments), Billing Infrastructure, and other shared product experiences. This is a deeply technical and highly cross-functional role. You’ll define platform strategy in tight partnership with Engineering, Design, and GTM teams, and drive major company-wide initiatives that enable scale, shaping the internal platforms that product teams build on top of, as well as experiences our largest customers rely on every day. You’ll also contribute to the definition of Vanta’s product team culture and processes, while providing mentorship to a growing team of PM’s.
