Senior Manager, Audit Partnerships

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 Senior Manager, Audit Partnerships at Vanta, you will own the relationships that make compliance real for our customers — managing and growing Vanta's network of audit partners across every segment of the business, from SMB to enterprise.

Vanta's Audit Partnerships team sits at the intersection of our platform and the auditors who help customers achieve and maintain compliance. We partner with audit firms across frameworks and geographies to ensure customers have access to high-quality, trusted audit experiences through Vanta — and we work to continuously raise the bar on that experience.

In this role, you'll lead a team of six Audit Partnership Managers (APMs) spanning the US, EMEA, and APAC, while serving as the senior relationship owner for Vanta's most strategic audit firm partnerships. You'll have meaningful scope: expanding the partner network, reducing concentration risk, and shaping how Vanta's audit partner function evolves globally.

What you'll do as a Senior Manager, Audit Partnerships at Vanta:

• Own and grow relationships with existing audit partners across all Vanta customer segments (SMB through enterprise)

• Expand the audit partner network by identifying and onboarding new firms, reducing concentration risk, and capturing demand from larger audit firms not yet in the network

• Manage and develop a team of 6 APMs (4 US-based, 1 EMEA, 1 APAC dotted line), including performance management where needed

• Continue to shape the APM team as strategic partners to Auditors, including shaping how external communications and Monthly Business Reviews are conducted

• Lead international expansion efforts for the audit partner network

• Collaborate cross-functionally with segment go-to-market, partner operations, and Partnerships leadership to align partner strategy with business priorities

• Establish team operating rhythms, quality processes, and partner health frameworks that scale
