Head of Workplace and Teammate Experience

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 Head of Workplace and Teammate Experience at Vanta, you will lead our core functions around improving the working experience of all Vantans worldwide, and help us scale them from several hundred to several thousand Vantans.

The mission of Vanta’s People Team is to enable all Vantans, worldwide, to do the best work of their careers. Vanta’s People Team accomplishes this mission by being relentlessly focused on our business and driving business outcomes - and doing so in a data-driven and business-minded way. All of our People Team functions are efficiently staffed and high performing, earning tremendous trust in our business; and our teammates are a mix of remote (in nearly ten countries) and in-office hybrid in five global offices, leaving us with an exciting and challenging task to support the work styles and preferences of all Vanta teammates, while providing them ample opportunities to connect with each other.

Our Head of Workplace and Teammate Experience will be highly analytical, thoughtful, business-oriented, humble, and low ego, and will have a playbook (that can be modified to be “Vanta-specific”) on how to scale these functions to provide top-notch employee experience—what we call teammate experience— to every Vanta’n, worldwide.

While this role can be remote, we expect this role to spend significant time in our offices, and personally engaged with opening new offices and facilities - so this role will likely require a significant amount of travel.

What you’ll do:

• Lead and scale our Real Estate & Workplace, Internal Events, Physical Security, and Executive Administration functions, providing the best possible experiences to Vanta teammates to enable them to do the best work of their careers. In particular, you will focus on anticipating challenges of future scale before they materialize and building for the future.

• With our Real Estate & Workplace team, continue to develop, scale, and execute a long term facilities and office strategy, anticipating our in-office attendance and internal events growth as a remote/hybrid mixed team.

• With our Internal Events team, continue to build and scale our internal events function and strategy, to improve teammate performance and connection to Vanta.

• With our Executive Administration team, continue to scale our long-term strategy for effectively supporting our leaders.

• Develop and execute a physical security strategy for all of our offices and facilities.

• Provide coaching, mentorship, and support for our awesome Real Estate & Workplace, Internal Events, and Executive Administration teams, and continue hiring A+ teammates to scale them.

• Help provide meaningful, and current, benchmarking of best practices across all People Team functions - while not being beholden to any HR playbook and rethinking everything from the ground up in keeping with Vanta’s principles and high level of action-orientation and operational rigor and excellence.

What we’re looking for:

• 12+ years of experience in Real Estate, Workplace, Internal Events, and Teammate Experience, with significant experience operating at scale - 1,000-5,000+ headcount.

• Impeccable people management skills - every person you’ve ever managed should respect you as a leader, coach, and mentor.

• A strong analytical mind, and the skill to develop a point of view on any problem quickly and without personal bias.

• A data-first orientation in all problem solving.

• High resilience and calm, balanced with a high bias toward delivering outcomes quickly.

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

To provide greater transparency to candidates, we share base pay ranges for all US-based job postings regardless of state. We set standard base pay ranges for all roles based on function, level, and country location, benchmarked against similar-stage growth companies. Final offer amounts are determined by multiple factors and may vary based on candidate location, skills, depth of work experience, and relevant licenses/credentials.

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.
