Senior Product Enablement 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 the first Sr. Product Enablement Manager at Vanta, you'll be the architect of how our GTM teams learn, understand, and articulate Vanta's product value and capabilities to customers. You'll design and deliver enablement programs that translate product strategy into field readiness, drive product adoption, and directly impact revenue outcomes.

This is a senior IC role that will own the full lifecycle of product enablement for both presales and post sales GTM — from discovery and curriculum design, rigorous program management, through delivery, measurement, and continuous iteration. You'll partner closely with PMM, Marketing, Sales, and Customer Success to ensure that every team member can confidently sell, implement, and expand Vanta with our customers.
