Partner Customer Success Manager

About Vanta and Our Mission

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 Vanta’s Partner Customer Success Manager, you’ll play a key role in shaping what post-sales success looks like for our indirect customer base. You’ll work with and through partners—resellers, MSPs, and other distribution channels—to drive adoption, engagement, and retention for customers that buy Vanta through our partner ecosystem.

You’ll own a growing book of 50–100 indirect customer accounts, collaborate cross-functionally with our Partner and Sales teams, and help build the foundation for how we scale partner success at Vanta.

Vanta’s success over the last year was exponential and we are now working to solve the problem of how to provide world-class customer experience to as many security-minded software companies as possible. As Vanta’s Partner Customer Success Manager, you will be the voice of Vanta, responsible for helping keep our customers moving toward their goals and ultimately successful and happy.

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.
