We believe that security should be monitored and verified continuously, and we empower companies to practice better security and prove it with ease.

As the Vice President, Customer Success, Professional Services & Support at Vanta, you will lead our existing Customer Success and Support organizations and build Vanta’s Professional Services function from the ground up. You will refine and define the delivery model, team, service offerings, and standards that accelerate customer time-to-value across every segment we serve. Vanta's mission is to help businesses earn and prove trust. We help companies automate compliance, security, and risk management so they can move fast without sacrificing trust. Our GTM organization is at the center of that mission, bringing Vanta's agentic trust platform to companies at every stage of growth, from early stage startups to global enterprises. Professional Services, Customer Success, and Support together form a strategic, high-leverage function within Vanta's GTM org. This VP will own the end-to-end delivery of implementation and consultative engagements that drive measurable outcomes for our customers, as well as ongoing account health, retention, and support across the customer lifecycle. This function will be a key driver of onboarding quality and long-term retention. You will own the combined Professional Services, Customer Success, and Support P&L, retention, support quality metrics, and services margin.

From our early days automating security monitoring for compliance standards like SOC 2, HIPAA and ISO 27001 to creating the world's leading Trust Management Platform, our vision remains unchanged. Now more than ever, making security continuous—not just a point-in-time check— is essential. Thousands of companies rely on Vanta to build, maintain and demonstrate their trust— all in a way that's real-time and transparent.
