151d

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 Strategic 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 financial strategy and identify opportunities for scalable growth. Strategic Finance partners with every team at Vanta—from Sales to Product to G&A—and 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.
