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.
Vanta's Product Marketing team sits at the intersection of Product, Engineering, Sales, and Customer Success. We define positioning and narrative for Vanta's platform, translate roadmap into go-to-market motions across big launch moments and releases, and make sure the field can sell what Product is building; with research, storytelling, and cross-functional partnership as the core of how we work.
About the role
AI is one of Vanta's most strategic bets, and it needs a dedicated owner. This PMM will be focused on bringing the AI roadmap to market in close partnership with EPD. You'll own the narrative, messaging, and positioning for Vanta’s AI story end-to-end, and be the connective tissue between what Engineering and Product are building and how the market, field, and customers understand it.
You're expected to shape our AI story and define Vanta as a leader in the space, which means you’re fast-moving and nimble, have enough technical fluency to have a real point of view in roadmap conversations with EPD (including getting hands-on and testing the product yourself), paired with the storytelling and creativity to bring a unique, differentiated story to market.
What you’ll do as a Product Marketing Manager at Vanta:
Own the AI pillar narrative and roadmap end to end
Own the AI pillar narrative at key events like VantaCon, including keynote support, breakout sessions, and customer testimonials
Ensure a cohesive AI narrative across pillars so AI messaging holds together whether it's showing up in Compliance, Risk, or Proof contexts
Partner directly with EPD to understand what's being built, influence roadmap sequencing from a market/customer lens, and translate technical capability into external-ready narrative
Develop and maintain AI messaging and positioning that flexes across audiences (field, analysts, press, customers)
Drive field enablement for AI, arming Sales and CS with the story, objection handling, and proof points they need
Plan and execute AI product launches, from planning through post-launch measurement
Represent the AI narrative in customer-facing and market-facing moments (analyst briefings, customer advisory conversations, press as needed)
How to be successful in this role:
Core PMM experience
7+ years in product marketing, ideally with ownership of a full pillar or product line rather than a support function
Track record of building narrative and positioning from scratch, not just executing an existing playbook
Experience partnering directly with Product/Engineering leadership
Excellent communication and presentation skills, with the ability to convey complex ideas effectively to both technical and non-technical audiences.
Plan and execute large product launches (including partnership with comms to align on product narrative), report back on performance, and optimize our launch processes for scale
Define and manage go-to-market (GTM) strategy for Vanta’s security products, including messaging, positioning, launch planning, GTM enablement content (sales, customer success), and customer adoption
Strong written and verbal storytelling, comfortable writing for a keynote stage as well as a sales deck
Must be authorized to work in the U.S. without the need for current or future employer sponsorship
Technical / AI fluency
Working understanding of how modern AI products are built, enough to ask sharp questions in an EPD roadmap review and push back credibly
Familiarity with the current AI/LLM landscape (model capabilities, common architecture patterns, where the industry conversation is headed) so positioning reflects real technical nuance rather than surface-level buzzwords
Comfort translating technical capability and constraints into narrative that's accurate and compelling without over-claiming what the product does
Prior experience marketing an AI-native or AI-adjacent product is a strong plus
Open to using AI to amplify their skills and strengthen their work - demonstrating curiosity, a willingness to learn, and sound judgment in applying AI responsibly to improve efficiency and impact.
Bonus points
Experience with security or technical products
Experience owning a keynote-level narrative for a company event
Background that spans both technical and brand/narrative work (e.g., came from a technical PM, solutions engineering, or technical writing background before moving into PMM)

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.
