Senior Events Specialist

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.
