Senior People Business Partner, G&A

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. 

We are looking for an exceptional People Business Partner to support Vanta’s People, Legal and Finance teams!

You’ll play a critical role in accelerating Vanta’s growth and helping our leaders build, develop and retain world-class teams. Vanta’s People Business Partner (PBP) team is unique and our PBPs are exceptionally talented - they are “quarterbacks” for all People matters for the leaders and managers they support, and deeply involved in the business, given that our overall touchstone is that all People Team initiatives tie back to clear business outcomes.

Examples of work that our PBP team does include leading change management, partnering on org design and strategy, driving people initiatives to engage and retain talent. You will be functionally embedded with the teams you support, and work with cross-functional stakeholders on their behalf, in order to help them achieve their business outcomes. Our PBP team is world class, and has historically delivered outsized service and outcomes. We’re looking for the most thoughtful, practical, and business-minded BPs to join the team and maintain/raise the bar!

• Serve as a trusted thought partner, consultant and coach to senior leaders across your client group and leader and managers within our People, Legal and Finance organization

• Collect and analyze data to deliver insights and drive recommendations that support the business

• Assess organizational health and effectiveness on a regular basis and identify opportunities to drive improvements and efficiencies

• Drive the project management and execution of critical People programs such as performance reviews, compensation planning, talent reviews, and engagement surveys

How to be successful in this role:

• 6+ years of experience as a PBP supporting leaders and managers in a fast-paced environment; experience with high-growth companies a plus. Experience supporting G&A teams is a plus

• Highly solutions oriented with demonstrated strong judgment. Can proactively guide leaders through difficult decision making and challenges.

• Strong business acumen and insatiable curiosity to learn how the business and your client groups operate

• Excellent influencer, communicator, facilitator, and listener with a balanced and thoughtful approach to building trust across all levels of the organization

• Creativity and grit to skillfully problem solve and navigate dynamic, ambiguous situations

• Outstanding project management and organizational skills
