    Default job background
    Description


    As Vanta's Director, US Government Strategy and Affairs, you will own, end-to-end, the strategy and execution of Vanta's initial effort in working with the US Federal government.

    Who is Vanta? At Vanta, our mission is to secure the internet and protect consumer data.

    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.


    In this role, you'll both engage with Vanta's internal teams on developing and implementing a business strategy tied to the US Federal government, and engage on the ground in DC with relevant US Federal stakeholders in driving Vanta's nonpartisan, and non-lobbying-oriented, regulatory agenda tied to that strategy (Vanta won't be lobbying, but we will be educating and engaging).

    In other words, you will embody the rare combination of business acumen and analytical skills, plus a strong US Federal government network and the keen ability to build more of a network relevant to Vanta's US Federal government strategy.

    Remote but must be located in the DC Metro area.

    What you'll do as a Director, US Government Strategy & Affairs at Vanta:

    Set up and maintain a system that regularly updates Vanta's internal stakeholders on important upcoming regulatory and legislative updates from the US Federal government and the US states
    Lead the selection of Vanta's initial US Federal government strategy and engagement target -in particular, working with priority federal agencies or branches of government to drive the company's business priorities
    Engage with Vanta's Product and Go-To-Market teams on modeling and executing against the aforementioned strategy, including by influencing what products are built and how the go-to-market for those products should be optimized for US Federal government interactions
    Engage with key stakeholders in Washington DC and expand Vanta's network of US Federal government contacts - particularly in pursuit of the strategy you've helped us select
    Over time, help us determine how to invest further in our US government strategy and affairs function
    How to be successful in this role:


    Have meaningful (5+ years) prior experience and contacts with the US Federal government, in at least one key area or agency, e.g., the Department of Defense, US Congress, SEC, etc.

    Have a demonstrated ability to expand your and your employer's network across various aspects of the US Federal government in a non-partisan manner/across different Administrations
    Have strong business and analytical skills, preferably demonstrated through time working in consulting or another business role
    Have a strong educational background, preferably with a relevant advanced degree

    Nice-to-haves:
    Established participant in trade associations, or direct experience working directly with trade associations as a member of government
    Experience and a relevant network in cybersecurity

    What you can expect as a Vantan:

    Industry-competitive salary and equity
    100% covered medical, dental, and vision benefits with dependents coverage
    16 weeks fully paid parental leave for all new parents (birthing, non-birthing, and adoptive)
    Health & wellness stipend
    Remote workspace stipend
    401(k) matching plan
    Flexible work hours and location
    Open & encouraged PTO policy
    9 company paid holidays
    Free memberships to online wellness platforms (One Medical, Headspace, and more)
    Virtual team building activities, lunch and learns, and other company-wide events
    Offices in SF and NYC with hubs of Vantans forming across the US, including but not limited to, Seattle, Austin, Indianapolis, LA, Boston, and more

    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, including candidate location, skills, depth of work experience, and relevant licenses/credentials, and may vary from the amounts listed below.

    The salary or OTE range for this position is $259,000 - $305,000. This role may also be eligible for commissions/bonus, equity, medical benefits, 401(k) plan, and other company perk programs.


    At Vanta, we are committed to hiring diverse talent of different backgrounds and as such, it is important to us to provide an inclusive work environment for all.

    We do not discriminate on the basis of race, gender identity, age, religion, sexual orientation, veteran or disability status, or any other protected class.

    As an equal opportunity employer, we encourage and welcome people of all backgrounds to apply.

    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.
