Technical Operations Strategist

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. 

As our Support Operations Strategist, you will own both day-to-day Support Operations as well as longer term projects, and always with mind on how to create processes that scale at a fast growing company. You will own all support tooling, AI bots, and be a liaison for other teams who wish to cross functionally engage with the Support team as well as the go-to expert when it comes to Support data.

You must possess great communication skills, have a desire to analyze data to tell the Support team’s story, as well as identify areas for improvement. The Support team is your customer, and it will be your responsibility to reduce frictions as possible. You will be tasked with finding ways for the team to be more productive through workflows and processes, finding time savers for the team to work more effectively, and exploring tooling options that can better enable the team as well as our customers to easily access information - thus better enabling the Support team to shine. Our ideal candidate would be someone who enjoys problem solving, is a pragmatic systems thinker, and also leads with kindness and curiosity. Someone who is proactive and a self-starter with a desire to lead is a must.

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.
