Job Description

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 is growing fast—we’re profitable, consistently exceeding our growth targets, and maintaining exceptionally strong NPS scores along the way. Our momentum is driven by a clear mission: to secure the internet and help startups scale with trust. As the category leader in compliance and security automation, we’re capturing market share rapidly, and our Sales team is at the forefront of that charge. To support this continued growth, we’re expanding our Startups Sales team. We’re looking for high-energy, customer-focused Account Executives who thrive in high-volume, fast-paced environments and are motivated by the challenge of turning velocity into results. In this role, you’ll take full ownership of the sales cycle—from first touch to close—and play a critical role in positioning Vanta as the go-to solution for early-stage companies navigating security and compliance for the first time. This is a highly transactional, new business role where success comes from running a tight, repeatable process and maintaining a high daily output. If you love the energy of working with startups, are driven to outperform targets, and want to make a tangible impact in a rapidly scaling business, we’d love to hear from you. This role will be based in our Dublin office with an office-centric hybrid schedule. The standard in-office days are Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.

Job Responsibility

  • Identify high-potential business verticals to develop and execute outbound strategies to engage them with Vanta
  • Manage the entire sales cycle, from initial contact to contract negotiation and closing, with a focus on speed and efficiency, aiming to close deals within a 30-day timeframe
  • Turn our inbound demand into closed-won business quickly and consistently, working across a large number of prospects
  • Operate in a fast-paced, transactional sales environment, running a high number of discovery calls and managing a broad pipeline of opportunities simultaneously
  • Continuously optimize your sales workflow to maintain high activity levels, improve conversion, and deliver repeatable results
  • Define and communicate the value of Vanta to prospects, including tailoring sales materials and demos to resonate with early-stage startup buyers
  • Surface product feedback and trends from prospects to inform go-to-market and product development strategies

Requirements

  • 12+ months in a closing and quota-carrying role, while consistently exceeding monthly and quarterly sales targets
  • Experience in B2B SaaS, ideally focused on SMB or early-stage startups, where short deal cycles and high activity are the norm
  • Thrive in high-velocity sales environments and are energized by repetition, fast decision-making, and a transactional approach to deal flow
  • Be highly empathetic to customers, with a proven track record of long-term customer retention
  • Possess the technical competency to understand Vanta’s software and build great relationships with highly technical prospects
  • Have stellar problem-solving chops, and an enthusiasm for making a large impact early on at a start-up
  • You’re intrinsically motivated, proactive, and resourceful—comfortable taking initiative without needing direction
  • 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

What we offer

  • Industry-competitive salary and equity
  • Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage, with 100% of employee-only benefit premiums covered for most medical plans
  • 16 weeks fully-paid Parental Leave for all new parents
  • Health & wellness stipend
  • Remote workspace, internet, and cellphone stipend
  • Commuter benefits for team members who report to the SF and NYC office
  • Family planning benefits
  • Matching 401(k) contribution with immediate vesting
  • Flexible PTO policy, plus 80 hours of Sick Time
  • 11 company-paid holidays
  • Virtual team building activities, lunch and learns, and other company-wide events
