- Proven ability to generate pipeline through outbound prospecting, with a track record of booking meetings and exceeding activity goals
- Strong research and personalization skills, with the ability to craft compelling outreach to different buyer personas
- Adaptability and problem-solving mindset, with comfort working in a 0-to-1 motion where processes are still being defined

What the job involves
- As a Sales Development Representative (SDR) at Vanta, you will play a foundational role in building outbound pipeline for our fast-growing new products: Vendor Risk Management (VRM), Customer Trust Management (CTM), and Vanta for Government (V4G)
- This role is perfect for a scrappy, driven SDR who thrives in a 0-to-1 motion, where playbooks are still being developed, and creativity is key to breaking into new markets
- Vanta’s Go-To-Market team is expanding its focus beyond our core product to drive growth in new product lines and government compliance solutions
- Our team’s mission is to build scalable outbound motions that create new revenue streams and help businesses simplify security and compliance across industries
- As an SDR on this team, you will be responsible for identifying and engaging high-potential accounts, running strategic outbound prospecting efforts, and partnering with AEs to generate pipeline
- You’ll be at the forefront of our expansion efforts, helping shape how we sell these products and refining outbound strategies to drive measurable impact
- Develop and execute outbound strategies to generate pipeline for Vendor Risk Management (VRM), Customer Trust Management (CTM), or Vanta for Government
- Identify, research, and engage target accounts through multi-channel outreach (email, LinkedIn, phone)
- Test and iterate on messaging to optimize response rates and drive qualified meetings
- Partner closely with AEs and Marketing to refine targeting, share prospect insights, and enhance outbound sequences
- Leverage CRM and sales tools (Salesforce, Outreach, LinkedIn Sales Navigator) to track outreach effectiveness and improve engagement
- Provide feedback on market trends and objections, helping shape Vanta’s go-to-market strategy for these new product lines
Our take
The security auditing process is usually very time-consuming, taking hours to complete, and it is often difficult for startups to invest time into such a process. Yet, the benefits of security accreditation are enormous, mainly as many such businesses are working globally and need ways to demonstrate security compliance to one another. Vanta works specifically with startups to help them complete and pass security audits such as SOC 2 and ISO 27001.
The company is a compliance portal and security monitoring platform that businesses use to assess their risk levels. Vanta carries out a pre-audit of a company's digital security and highlights areas that need to be worked on before a full analysis of all threats is carried out. Other businesses such as Datadog or PagerDuty offer similar security monitoring services, but Vanta monitors its customers throughout the year, allowing any issues to be identified and addressed early on.
Vanta's latest $150M raise, boosting its valuation to $4.15B, highlights the company's rapid growth and strong market position. With AI-driven automation, expanding government partnerships, and strategic acquisitions on the horizon, Vanta is scaling quickly while solving real customer problems. Backed by a talented leadership team and a growing customer base, the company looks set to continue its upward trajectory and build a lasting, sustainable business.
