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 an Enterprise Account Executive at Vanta, you will play a critical role in expanding our footprint in the Enterprise segment through net-new logo acquisition. This is a high-impact role focused exclusively on new business sales, requiring a results-driven seller capable of closing 5+ six-figure opportunities per quarter.

You'll be joining a team that is building and scaling our upmarket motion, and you'll help shape Vanta's strategy and execution in some of our most strategic segments. This role requires someone who is equally confident navigating complex deals independently and working cross-functionally with product, engineering, and the channel. Success in this role means driving full-cycle deals from prospecting through close—both directly and through partners.

This role is a part of our East territory and we will only be considering candidates located in and East of ND, SD, NE, KS, OK, AK, and LA.

We're growing quickly, continually outpacing our targets and leading the market in compliance and security. If you're excited by the opportunity to drive strategic, high-value deals and work in a fast-paced, high-growth environment—we'd love to hear from you.

What you'll do:

• Own and drive net-new business acquisition within the Enterprise segment
• Close 5+ six-figure opportunities per quarter, managing the full sales cycle from initial outreach through contract execution
• Build and maintain a strong pipeline through outbound prospecting, inbound leads, referrals, SDR partnership and partner/channel collaboration
• Engage directly with senior stakeholders (CISO, CIO, CTO) to deliver tailored, consultative value propositions
• Work closely with legal, product, engineering, solution engineers, and GRC specialists throughout the deal cycle
• Leverage and contribute to building the enterprise playbook, refining our GTM approach as we scale
• Provide accurate forecasts and deliver consistently against quota

What makes you a great fit:

• 7+ years in a closing Account Executive role, with at least 5 years selling enterprise B2B SaaS
• Recent experience at a cybersecurity, compliance automation, infrastructure, or IT operations software company
• Proven ability to consistently meet/exceed quota, including managing 5+ six-figure deals per quarter
• Strong outbound prospecting skills and ability to independently build a robust pipeline
• Experience managing complex, multi-stakeholder sales cycles
• Executive presence with the ability to engage and influence C-level buyers
• Experience working both direct and via channel partners
• Technically conversant enough to build credibility with security and IT leaders
• Highly consultative with a customer-first mindset and a track record of long-term value delivery
• Comfortable operating in fast-paced, high-growth environments
• Aligned with Vanta's mission to secure and protect customer data

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

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.
