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 Director of Technical Recruiting, you’ll help to drive all hiring across all Engineering, Product, Design, and Security roles globally at Vanta. You’ll directly manage a team of technical sourcers, recruiters, and two managers and report to the Head of Talent Acquisition. This team plays a critical role in ensuring we attract, assess, and hire top technical talent to enable Vanta to continue to successfully grow.

What you’ll do as the Director of Technical Recruiting at Vanta:

  • Lead and directly manage our EPD Recruiting team which is composed of technical sourcers, recruiters, and two managers.

  • Partner with Vanta’s technical leaders, People Business Partners, and C-suite to prioritize hiring needs, monitor and report on progress, and manage day-to-day stakeholder relationships globally.

  • Build, develop, and innovate unique strategies to ensure all technical recruiting functions are able to hit quarterly hiring goals.

  • Diagnose and solve problems or bottlenecks in the hiring funnels with your team.

  • Monitor and report on key metrics to stakeholders and Vanta’s leadership team.

  • Manage a small req load (likely focused on key EPD leadership hires).

How to be successful in this role:

  • 10+ years of business recruiting experience with most recent 5+ years being in people management.

  • Strong IC and/or leadership hiring in engineering.

  • Prior experience working in both a start-up and larger scaled environment.

  • Expertise and exposure in a wide variety of technical departments areas globally.

  • Strong data and metrics driven mindset.

What you can expect as a Vantan:

  • 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

  • 401(k) matching

  • Flexible work hours and location

  • Open PTO policy

  • 11 paid holidays in the US

  • Offices in SF, NYC, London, Dublin, and Sydney

To provide greater transparency to candidates, we share base pay ranges for all US-based job postings regardless of state. We set standard base pay ranges for all roles based on function, level, and country location, benchmarked against similar-stage growth companies. Final offer amounts are determined by multiple factors and may vary based on candidate location, skills, depth of work experience, and relevant licenses/credentials.

At Vanta, we are committed to hiring diverse talent of different backgrounds and as such, it is important to us to provide an inclusive work environment for all.

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.
