You will partner with GTM, Sales, and Partnerships to develop Procurement’s contribution to OpenAI adoption and commercial growth. Bring procurement-industry knowledge, buyer insights, and lessons from internal AI use into customer engagement, product feedback, and opportunities across the procurement ecosystem. Reporting to the Head of Strategic Sourcing, you will manage the Sourcing Delivery and Contract Management leaders and shape this new function’s priorities, team, and measures of success.

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. This is not a back-office compliance role and it is not a generic sales-engineering role. You will operate as a named member of deal teams under our pod model: paired with Strategic and Enterprise Account Executives, embedded in their weekly cadences, engaged from first discovery through POC, onsite, close, and expansion. You will be the practitioner in the room that a buyer's CISO or GRC lead trusts — and the internal expert our AEs, SEs, and marketing team build around. What you’ll do as a Subject Matter Expert, GTM at Vanta: Serve as the dedicated GRC SME for a book of Strategic/Enterprise Account Executives: join discovery and qualification calls at the earliest deal stages, scope compliance programs against Vanta's platform, and support demos, POCs, workshops, and customer onsites across Compliance, Third-Party Risk Management, Risk Management, and Trust/Questionnaire Automation. Advise prospects on program architecture: multi-framework strategy, shared controls, business-unit and workspace scoping, custom frameworks, and audit sequencing. Answer field questions through our SME channels at customer-forwardable quality — including reviewing and validating AI-agent-generated answers before they reach customers. Our team runs AI-first: you'll use agents daily, act as the quality gate on their output, and (ideally) build tooling of your own. Design and deliver enablement: live sessions for GTM teams, bootcamp scenarios and mock-customer roleplay, async curriculum modules, and review of GRC marketing and SEO content.
