Product Management
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.
The Issue Management team builds the workflow and tracking capabilities that help GRC customers manage compliance programs at scale. When something goes sideways, Vanta is the system of record where it gets logged, assigned, tracked, and resolved — and increasingly, where AI proactively surfaces problems and drives them toward resolution before they become audit findings.
As Senior Product Manager for Issue Management, you'll own the vision, strategy, and roadmap for two product areas: issue management, the core compliance remediation workflow, and exception management, a greenfield build that's become a top task from Vanta's upmarket sales team. Exception management covers ongoing policy exceptions, where leadership needs to formally approve, document, and track that exception on a recurring basis. It's a critical functionality for upmarket expansion. This is also a meaningful agentic AI opportunity: building intelligent workflows that proactively flag exception expiries, route approvals automatically, and surface emerging compliance risks before they require manual intervention. You'll be the person who defines and builds that version of it.
What You'll Do as a Senior Product Manager at Vanta
- Own the vision, strategy, and roadmap for Issue Management and Exception Management — positioning both as competitive differentiators that win enterprise GRC deals and drive retention
- Build exception management from the ground up — partner closely with upmarket sales and solutions engineering to define what enterprise prospects need, scope the MVP, and ship the capability that unlocks deals
- Lead the agentic AI opportunity for Issue and Exception Management — define and build AI-powered workflows that proactively surface compliance risks, automate issue routing and escalation, and reduce the manual overhead of managing exceptions at scale
- Conduct deep customer discovery with enterprise accounts — understand how customers manage compliance issues and policy exceptions at scale, and translate those insights into scalable product solutions rather than one-off fixes
- Partner with go-to-market to close the loop between product and pipeline — help position capabilities competitively, build the GTM motion for new features, and inform how sales and SEs talk about the product
- Define success metrics and make data-informed decisions — establish KPIs for adoption, customer value, and business impact; use data to guide prioritization and communicate roadmap progress across EPD and leadership
- You'll own two strategically important product areas — issue management is table-stakes for enterprise GRC customers, and exception management is an active deal-blocker that you'll be the person to solve
- You're building greenfield — exception management is a first-class product build with clear customer demand, direct GTM pull, and a dedicated team behind you
- You'll have a real opportunity to build the agentic future of compliance workflows — greenfield AI work with clear customer problems, enterprise scale, and a team ready to move fast
- You'll work closely with go-to-market from day one — this is a high-visibility, commercially-connected PM role where the line between what you build and revenue outcomes is direct and short
How to be successful in this role:
- 6–8 years of product management experience in B2B SaaS, with a track record of building for enterprise or upmarket customers with complex, multi-stakeholder workflows
- Proven AI or agentic product experience — you've built AI-powered features and understand where AI creates genuine differentiation versus noise; you can identify the right problem before reaching for the technology
- Commercial fluency and GTM partnership skills — you've worked directly with sales or solutions engineering, understand how product gaps affect deals, and can translate customer pain into competitive positioning
- Comfort building in greenfield spaces — you've taken a product area from zero to one, developed conviction in ambiguity, and shipped foundational capabilities with a clear framework for what comes next
- A strong PM foundation — structured thinking, sharp prioritization, the ability to balance big-picture strategy with pragmatic, iterative execution
- Open to using AI to amplify their skills and strengthen their work - demonstrating curiosity, a willingness to learn, and sound judgment in applying AI responsibly to improve efficiency and impact.
What you can expect as a Vanta’n:
- Industry-competitive salary and equity
- Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage, with 100% of employee-only benefit premiums covered for most medical plans
- 16 weeks paid Parental Leave for all new parents
- Health & wellness stipend
- Remote workspace, internet, and cellphone stipend
- Commuter benefits for team members who report to the SF and NYC office
- Family planning benefits
- Matching 401(k) contribution with immediate vesting
- Flexible PTO policy, plus 80 hours of Sick Time
- 11 company-paid holidays
- Virtual team building activities, lunch and learns, and other company-wide events!
- Offices in SF, NYC, London, Dublin, Tel Aviv, and Sydney

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. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, gender identity, age, religion, sexual orientation, veteran or disability status, or any other protected class. As an equal opportunity employer, we encourage and welcome people of all backgrounds to apply.
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.

Tips for Finding Project Manager Jobs at Vanta
Align your PM credentials to compliance workflows
Vanta's core product is trust and security compliance automation. Certifications like PMP or CAPM carry weight, but so does demonstrated experience managing SOC 2 or ISO 27001 implementation projects. Reframe your resume around audit cycles and cross-functional compliance delivery.
Target roles tied to enterprise product launches
Vanta regularly scales its enterprise customer segment, so Project Manager openings tied to enterprise onboarding or customer-facing implementation are your best entry points. These roles have clearer scope requirements and stronger internal sponsorship justification when filing with USCIS.
Confirm sponsorship eligibility before applying
Not every open Project Manager listing at Vanta will trigger a sponsorship workflow. Use Migrate Mate to filter specifically for Vanta roles verified as sponsorship-eligible, so you're not investing interview preparation time in positions that won't move forward for visa holders.
Front-load your H-1B transfer conversation
If you're already on an approved H-1B with another employer, Vanta can file a cap-exempt transfer petition. Raise your current status and transfer timeline with the recruiter before the final interview round so the offer letter and I-129 filing can be coordinated without delay.
Understand OPT timing relative to Vanta's hiring cycles
F-1 OPT gives you 12 months of work authorization, extendable to 24 months on STEM OPT. Vanta's SaaS environment qualifies for STEM extension. Start the USCIS STEM OPT reporting process with your Designated School Official at least 90 days before your standard OPT expires.
Prepare for PERM documentation requirements early
If Vanta moves you toward a Green Card via PERM labor certification through DOL, expect to document that no qualified U.S. worker was available for your specific role. Keep records of your unique technical qualifications and any specialized compliance or SaaS tooling experience that narrows the candidate pool.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Vanta sponsor H-1B visas for Project Managers?
Yes, Vanta sponsors H-1B visas for Project Manager roles. The company operates in the Technology and Software sector, and Project Manager positions that require a relevant bachelor's degree in fields like computer science, information systems, or business administration typically qualify as specialty occupations under USCIS criteria. If you're already on an H-1B with another employer, Vanta can file a cap-exempt transfer rather than waiting for the next lottery cycle.
How do I apply for Project Manager jobs at Vanta?
Applications go through Vanta's careers portal, where open Project Manager roles are listed by team and level. Before applying, confirm that the specific listing supports visa sponsorship, as not every role is approved for it. Migrate Mate lets you browse and filter Vanta's Project Manager openings by visa type so you can focus on roles that are confirmed sponsorship-eligible from the start.
Which visa types are commonly used for Project Manager roles at Vanta?
Vanta supports H-1B, TN, F-1 OPT, F-1 CPT, and EB-2/EB-3 Green Card pathways for Project Manager roles. F-1 OPT and STEM OPT are common starting points for recent graduates. TN status applies to Canadian and Mexican nationals in qualifying management or technology roles. H-1B sponsorship and employer-sponsored Green Card petitions are available for longer-term employment.
What qualifications does Vanta expect for Project Manager roles?
Vanta typically looks for Project Managers with experience in SaaS environments, cross-functional stakeholder coordination, and structured delivery processes. Familiarity with compliance or security workflows, such as managing SOC 2 or ISO 27001 programs, is a meaningful differentiator given Vanta's product focus. A bachelor's degree in a relevant technical or business field is generally required, and formal project management credentials like PMP strengthen your application.
How do I plan my timeline if Vanta is sponsoring my H-1B for the first time?
If you need a new H-1B cap subject slot, the lottery registration opens each March for an October 1 start date. That means you'd typically receive an offer, have Vanta register you in the lottery, and then wait until October before your H-1B status is active. Plan your OPT or other bridging authorization to cover the gap. USCIS premium processing can shorten the petition approval window to a few weeks once selected.
