Director, Account Management - EMEA
Vanta
Date: 19 hours ago
City: London
Contract type: Full time

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.

You will lead a team of Account Managers focused on deepening relationships with our customers, ensuring they continue to derive value from our platform, and identifying opportunities to expand our partnership.
You will also serve as a key member of the GTM EMEA leadership team, helping shape the culture and strategy for the region. This role is highly cross-functional and will partner closely with Customer Success, Sales, Marketing, Product, and Operations to deliver on regional goals.
This role will be based from either our Dublin or London office with an office-centric hybrid schedule. The standard in-office days are Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.
What you’ll do as a Director, Account Management in EMEA:
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.
