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. The Personnel team at Vanta owns the foundational infrastructure that keeps customers' people data accurate, connected, and compliant — tracking employee lifecycle events, managing HR integrations, and ensuring the right people data flows into compliance processes at the right time. This is one of Vanta's most strategically important product areas. Personnel is a critical AI-enabled compliance hub that underpins how we help customers achieve their compliance goals, expand into enterprise, and realize our system of records vision. It's also a agentic AI opportunity: building intelligent workflows that act on people data to proactively surface compliance risks and automate remediation. As Senior Product Manager for Personnel, you'll own the vision, strategy, and roadmap for this product area — and you'll be the person who defines and builds the agentic version of it.
