Sales Development Representative

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. 

Being an SDR at Vanta is, first and foremost, about hitting targets and driving revenue. But beyond that, it’s about joining a community that is deeply committed to your success and career growth. We believe that the future of our sales organization lies with our SDRs, which is why we place a strong emphasis on enablement and career advancement. You’ll receive the training, support, and mentorship you need to excel, with a clear path to advance within our sales team.

Vanta is growing quickly, we're profitable, and we're continually outpacing our growth targets while maintaining very strong NPS scores. Needless to say, it's an exciting time! We're scaling our Sales Development team with customer-focused SDRs who will take ownership of our outbound sales engine and help to build pipeline as we move up market, and distinguish Vanta as best-in-class to prospects in a burgeoning competitive landscape.

If this sounds like you, and you're excited to join a growing team, we'd love to hear from you.

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.
