About the role
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 a Technical Program Manager on the Corporate Engineering team, you’ll lead complex, cross-functional programs that improve how Vantans work. A significant focus of this role will be driving internal AI initiatives—from identifying high-impact use cases and coordinating pilots to supporting adoption, governance, and long-term scale.

The Corporate Engineering team is employee-facing, with a mission to provide Vantans a secure and stellar experience with the tools and technologies they need to do their best work.

Lead internal AI initiatives from concept through execution, including use case discovery, pilot coordination, rollout planning, and adoption tracking
Partner with Security, Legal, and GRC to support safe, responsible AI use, including policy alignment, tooling guardrails, and change management

Provide program management rigor across multiple concurrent initiatives, ensuring timely delivery and clear communication
Communicate effectively across all levels of the organization, including senior leadership, tailoring messaging to different audiences
Lead change management for new tools and initiatives, including rollout planning, training, and adoption support
How to be successful in this role:

Comfort operating in ambiguity and bringing clarity where none exists
Experience partnering with technical, security, legal, and business teams
