As the Manager, Partner Customer Success, you will build and lead a team responsible for driving adoption, value, and retention across Vanta’s partner ecosystem. This includes partners serving customers across our SMB and Enterprise segments, both in the U.S. and internationally. You will shape what Partner Customer Success looks like at Vanta by developing scalable processes, coaching a high-performing team, and collaborating deeply with cross-functional stakeholders across Sales, Product, Support, Operations, and Partnerships.
Job Responsibility:
Hire, coach, and develop a team of Partner CSMs who consistently deliver customer value, operational excellence, and strong partner relationships
Model and foster a culture of customer obsession, accountability, and cross-functional collaboration
Build onboarding and enablement programs that ramp new hires to proficiency and prepare the team for ongoing growth
Take strategic ownership of partner lifecycle management — from onboarding and enablement to adoption, advocacy, and long-term retention
Identify problems proactively and drive solutions to completion rather than escalating — demonstrating strong judgment, resilience, and creative problem-solving
Develop scalable, repeatable processes that empower partners to deliver successful customer outcomes at high velocity
Use data to identify opportunities, risks, patterns, and insights — and translate those into action plans for your team and partners
Define and track key business metrics (e.g., partner activation, customer adoption, renewal health), making data-backed decisions without needing direction
Operate effectively at multiple altitudes: deep in tactical details when needed while maintaining ownership of the broader strategy
Partner closely with Revenue Operations, Partnerships, Sales, Product, Marketing, and Support to improve the Partner CS experience and product fit
Rally teams around shared goals, aligning efforts to drive meaningful impact for partners and customers
Represent the voice of the partner and their customers across internal forums, influencing product roadmap and GTM strategy
Guide your team and partners in effectively leveraging Vanta as the foundation of a modern GRC program
Requirements:
4+ years leading customer-facing teams (Customer Success, Account Management, or Partner-focused roles)
Demonstrated ability to do more than manage people — you own programs, solve ambiguous problems, and drive strategic outcomes
Experience managing up, across, and down to influence stakeholders and move initiatives forward
Strong data literacy and business acumen — ability to analyze trends, uncover insights, forecast impact, and drive decisions autonomously
Proven ability to build and refine processes in a high-growth environment
Passion for customer and partner success, with a track record of building trusted relationships and navigating complex issues
Experience supporting customers across SMB and Enterprise segments
international experience a plus
Resilient, creative problem solver who maintains a non-emotional, pragmatic approach to setbacks
Growth mindset and deep curiosity — eager to iterate, learn quickly, and continuously improve
Ability to balance high-level strategy with tactical excellence
Nice to have:
GRC or security compliance background is a plus, but not required
international experience a plus
