Lead Technical Sourcer
At Vanta, our mission is to secure the internet and protect consumer data. 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.
We’re looking for a senior-level Lead Technical Sourcer to build our outbound sourcing strategy from the ground up. You’ll be the first dedicated sourcing expert on the team, partnering with our head of technical recruiting in owning the strategy and execution across our most critical technical hiring needs. You’ll partner closely with recruiting and engineering leadership, and play a pivotal role in shaping how we attract and engage the best engineers in the world.
We’re looking for someone who has seen what “great” looks like — someone who has driven sourcing success at both fast-moving startups and, ideally, scaled public tech companies. If you’ve helped build world-class engineering teams, this role is for you. .
What you’ll do:
Own the end-to-end sourcing strategy for technical roles across the company
Partner with recruiting and engineering leadership to understand hiring priorities, develop target profiles, and define ideal sourcing strategies.
Build top-of-funnel pipeline through proactive outreach, talent mapping, and competitive research.
Create and iterate on scalable outreach campaigns, content, and sourcing workflows.
Champion sourcing strategies and implement best practices to ensure a rich and ongoing talent pipeline.
Evaluate and implement sourcing tools, platforms, and processes to maximize efficiency and impact.
Track pipeline metrics, report on sourcing effectiveness, and continuously optimize based on data.
Mentor and guide future sourcers as the function grows, laying the foundation for a high-performing sourcing team.
How to be successful in the role:
10+ years of experience in technical sourcing, with a proven track record of success
Demonstrated experience sourcing across complex engineering domains including backend, full-stack, infrastructure, and platform engineering.
Deep understanding of Silicon Valley's technical talent landscape; experience sourcing in competitive markets like Toronto, SF, Seattle, or NYC is a plus.
Highly skilled in using tools like LinkedIn Recruiter, Github, and other sourcing platforms.
Creative and thoughtful in outreach; you know how to craft messages that get responses from even the most passive candidates.
Passionate about building — you thrive in environments where you can build systems, processes, and pipelines from scratch.
Data-driven and results-oriented, with a strong grasp of funnel metrics and conversion levers.
Clear communicator and trusted partner to both recruiters and hiring managers.
What you can expect as a Vantan:
Industry-competitive compensation
100% covered medical, dental, and vision benefits with dependents coverage
16 weeks fully-paid parental Leave for all new parents
Health & wellness and remote workplace stipends
Family planning benefits through Carrot Fertility
401(k) matching
Flexible work hours and location
Open PTO policy
11 paid holidays in the US
Offices in SF, NYC, London, Dublin, and Sydney
To provide greater transparency to candidates, we share base pay ranges for all US-based job postings regardless of state. We set standard base pay ranges for all roles based on function, level, and country location, benchmarked against similar-stage growth companies. Final offer amounts are determined by multiple factors and may vary based on candidate location, skills, depth of work experience, and relevant licenses/credentials.

About Vanta
We started in 2018, in the wake of several high-profile data breaches. Online security was only becoming more important, but we knew firsthand how hard it could be for fast-growing companies to invest the time and manpower it takes to build a solid security foundation. Vanta was inspired by a vision to restore trust in internet businesses by enabling companies to improve and prove their security.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.
