Senior Data Analyst, Strategic Finance
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 Senior Data Analyst on the Finance team, you’ll play a pivotal role in uncovering the insights that shape company-wide planning, forecasting, and strategic decision-making. This high-impact role blends analytical rigor, technical fluency, and business acumen to steer strategy and identify opportunities for scalable growth. The Finance Data team partners with both Finance and other teams across Vanta. You’ll collaborate closely with stakeholders to build trust and deliver data-driven recommendations; your work will influence everything from operating plans and investment decisions to self-serve reporting and process automation. This is a unique opportunity to deepen your analytics expertise in a dynamic, high-growth environment, with visibility into executive-level priorities and the ability to shape them with data.
