Recruiting Enablement & Operations Lead

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 Recruiting Enablement & Operations Lead at Vanta, you'll transform how our recruiting team learns, works, and scales. You'll design and implement the programs, systems, and training that make our recruiters, coordinators, hiring managers, and interviewers more effective at bringing exceptional talent to Vanta.

This role sits within the Recruiting Operations team, reporting to the Senior Manager, Recruiting Operations. You'll own the end-to-end enablement strategy, building training infrastructure, maintaining documentation, and creating automation that drives consistency and operational excellence across our global hiring lifecycle.

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.
