Sr. Director of Product, Platform

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. 

Vanta is moving upmarket fast. As the Senior Director of Product, Platform, you’ll lead the teams that make that possible, building the foundations that power every product experience. The Platform organization enables Vanta to scale confidently with our largest customers by delivering the systems and infrastructure that support reliability, extensibility, and speed across the company.

You’ll define and deliver the strategy for the core capabilities that underpin all of Vanta’s products, including identity and permissions, enterprise security, billing, collaboration, infrastructure, developer experience, and design systems. You’ll partner closely with Engineering and Design to deliver platform primitives that make it faster, safer, and more consistent for every team at Vanta to build.
