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 a Salesforce Architect at Vanta, you will own the technical architecture of our Salesforce platform, ensuring it scales to support our rapidly growing GTM organization while maintaining security, performance, and optimal user experience. The GTM Systems team owns the tooling and systems stack for our go-to-market organization. Reporting to Kaushik Patel, Head of GTM Systems & Analytics, you'll work closely with Salesforce Admins and Product Managers while partnering with GTM Operations, EPD, Product, and business leaders across the organization. You'll design and own the technical architecture that powers Vanta's GTM motion, with responsibility for platform optimization, security, governance, and scalability. This is a unique opportunity to shape the technical foundation of a fast-growing company's revenue engine.
