Senior GTM Strategy & Operations Manager, Mid-Late Sales Funnel

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. The team owns the operational strategy and execution of our mid-to-late GTM Sales motion for the NAMER Upmarket organization, shaping how opportunities progress from creation through close. We build and evolve the sales processes, workflows, data, and policies that enable sellers to effectively manage opportunities, navigate complex deals, and convert pipeline into predictable revenue. Our work spans opportunity management, forecasting, complex deal strategy and structuring, contracting workflows, and Rules of Engagement. We work hands-on with sellers and Sales leadership to navigate critical deals and day-to-day business challenges, while identifying where broader processes, policies, data, or systems need to evolve. We partner closely across Deal Desk, Finance, Legal, GTM Systems & Analytics, and other GTM teams to improve seller effectiveness, sales efficiency, conversion, and revenue predictability as the business scales.
