Job description
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 the Principal Product Manager of Vanta’s Platform teams, you will define and deliver the core capabilities that power all of Vanta’s products: Identity (RBAC, SCIM), Permissions, Enterprise Admin, Collaboration (notifications, tasks, comments), Billing Infrastructure, and other shared product experiences. This is a deeply technical and highly cross-functional role. You’ll define platform strategy in tight partnership with Engineering, Design, and GTM teams, and drive major company-wide initiatives that enable scale, shaping the internal platforms that product teams build on top of, as well as experiences our largest customers rely on every day. You’ll also contribute to the definition of Vanta’s product team culture and processes, while providing mentorship to a growing team of PM’s.
What you’ll do as a Principal Product Manager at Vanta:
Own and scale Vanta’s product platform, including identity, permissioning, billing, notifications, audit/event logging, and more
Define platform vision and long-term roadmap, ensuring it meets the needs of product teams and customers at scale
Drive platform alignment across teams, shaping shared systems that accelerate development and improve consistency
Act as DRI for key platform-related business metrics, including:
Performance & scalability of the platform for our largest customers
Enterprise admin/security experiences (identity, billing, etc.)
Collaboration primitives (notifications, tasks, comments)
Partner cross-functionally across Engineering, Design, PMM, Sales, and Support to define and deliver seamless platform experiences
Mentor and coach PMs working on platform-adjacent areas and contribute to broader product team culture
How to be successful in this role:
15+ years of product management experience, with significant time spent in platform or infrastructure-adjacent teams
Deep technical fluency — able to engage in architecture discussions, make system-level tradeoffs, and work closely with senior engineers
Experience scaling B2B SaaS platforms from SMB to Enterprise (e.g. identity systems, permissioning, internal tooling, extensible primitives)
Proven ability to set product vision and influence strategy across teams or product areas
A track record of driving impact through ambiguity — bringing clarity, prioritization, and execution to complex problem spaces
Passion for building high quality products with speed, and drive that culture across the organization
Strong product instincts, user empathy, and a collaborative working style
Proven ability to coach and mentor PMs, helping them translate high-level strategy into actionable team roadmaps.

Industry-competitive compensation
100% covered medical, dental, and vision benefits with dependents coverage
16 weeks fully-paid parental Leave for all new parents
Health & wellness and remote workplace stipends
Family planning benefits through Carrot Fertility

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.
