Technical Program Manager, Corporate Engineering

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 a Technical Program Manager on the Corporate Engineering team, you’ll lead complex, cross-functional programs that improve how Vantans work. A significant focus of this role will be driving internal AI initiatives—from identifying high-impact use cases and coordinating pilots to supporting adoption, governance, and long-term scale. In parallel, you’ll support other Corporate Engineering priorities, including tooling improvements, operational programs, and change management initiatives.

You’ll partner closely with IT, Security, Legal, People, and business teams to bring structure and clarity to ambiguous problems, balancing innovation with security, compliance, and usability. You’ll work alongside another Technical Program Manager and collaborate closely with Corporate Engineering leadership to ensure programs are aligned, well-sequenced, and effectively delivered.

The Corporate Engineering team is employee-facing, with a mission to provide Vantans a secure and stellar experience with the tools and technologies they need to do their best work.

What you’ll do as a Technical Program Manager at Vanta:

• Lead internal AI initiatives from concept through execution, including use case discovery, pilot coordination, rollout planning, and adoption tracking
• Partner with Security, Legal, and GRC to support safe, responsible AI use, including policy alignment, tooling guardrails, and change management
• Coordinate cross-functional stakeholders to evaluate AI tools and integrations that improve productivity and operational efficiency
• Bring structure to ambiguous AI initiatives by defining goals, success metrics, timelines, and ownership
• Support internal education, enablement, and documentation related to tools and best practices
• Lead strategic Corporate Engineering initiatives beyond AI, including tooling improvements, workflow optimization, and operational programs
• Partner with cross-functional teams to identify needs, engage subject matter experts, and align solutions with business and operational goals
• Provide program management rigor across multiple concurrent initiatives, ensuring timely delivery and clear communication
• Communicate effectively across all levels of the organization, including senior leadership, tailoring messaging to different audiences
• Lead change management for new tools and initiatives, including rollout planning, training, and adoption support

• 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.

_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.
