Senior Program Manager, GTM Ops at Vanta

Role Overview

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. In FY '27, Vanta's GTM organization is scaling rapidly to support our next phase of growth. The GTM Strategy & Planning team serves as the strategic backbone of our go-to-market engine—leading planning, shaping growth strategy, orchestrating cross-functional initiatives, and designing programs that drive engagement, alignment, and operational excellence across our GTM teams.

A typical day involves partnering with GTM leadership across Sales, Marketing, Customer Success, and Revenue Operations to ensure initiatives stay on track, risks are mitigated, and opportunities are seized. You'll create executive-ready communications, championing alignment and keeping everyone informed. You’ll establish clear KPIs, diligently track performance, and iterate based on outcomes to optimize program effectiveness and engagement. This also means thinking strategically around how to leverage AI to make programs run better and more efficiently.
