About The Position

At Vanta, our mission is to help businesses earn and prove trust.

Our upmarket customers operate with increasingly sophisticated, highly customized compliance processes. The ability to support and automate these workflows directly within Vanta represents a powerful lever for differentiation and long-term growth.
