Integrations Partner Manager

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 an Integrations Partner Manager at Vanta, you will be responsible for owning Vanta’s partnerships with the vendors that our customers use every day, helping us unlock powerful integrations and long-term collaborative relationships across the market. You will help Vanta’s product teams gain the access, tooling, and expertise they need to build first-party integrations, while also enabling and motivating partners to develop high-quality integrations on top of Vanta’s APIs. Ultimately, you will own growth and ROI in Vanta’s integration ecosystem through a blend of Vanta-built and partner-built experiences that scale with the needs of our customers. This will require strong relationship management, deep cross-functional collaboration across teams, comfort with engineering, design, field enablement, legal, and procurement topics, and some technical fluency.

You’ll be part of Vanta’s Automation group, which owns how customers discover and connect to other platforms through integrations, use that data to power product experiences and tests, drive customers toward compliance-related security outcomes, and ultimately generate the evidence required for audit. You will play a direct role in enabling customers to connect the right integrations with the right capabilities to meet their compliance, security, and continuous monitoring goals.
