📋 Description

• Own the IAM product vision and roadmap, setting direction for authentication, authorization, user modeling, and ownership frameworks in close partnership with engineering leadership • Drive the User Model split to completion — separating IAM Users (auth/permissions) from Personnel Records (GRC/compliance) in a complex, cross-team data migration with org-wide impact • Define Ownership 3.0 — chart the path from binary object-level ownership to customer-customizable, role-based permissions that serve both startups and large enterprises • Shape Vanta's authorization strategy proactively, ensuring product teams build on shared platform capabilities rather than ad hoc permission solutions • Contribute to multi-tenant access architecture, enabling seamless cross-domain experiences for auditors, MSPs, and multi-workspace enterprise customers • Navigate complex cross-team dependencies across GRC, Trust, Collaboration, and PEX — all of which have authorization needs that this role must harmonize • Partner deeply with engineering and technical domain experts to balance enterprise complexity with comprehensibility for smaller customers • Translate technical IAM concepts into clear business value for leadership, GTM teams, and cross-functional stakeholders • 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

🎯 Requirements

• 8-12+ years of product management experience, with at least 3-4 years at a Staff/Senior level in platform or infrastructure roles • Enterprise platform PM experience: you've worked on permissions, RBAC, multi-tenancy, or identity systems at scale in B2B SaaS • Systems thinking: you can reason about how authentication, authorization, and identity interconnect and affect every product surface — and explain it simply • Strong cross-functional collaboration: this role touches every team at Vanta and requires building consensus across Product, Engineering, Design, and GTM • Storytelling for technical concepts: you can explain why an authorization architecture decision matters to non-technical stakeholders and translate complex IAM concepts into clear business value • Customer empathy at multiple scales: you understand that a 10-person startup and a federal agency have vastly different permission needs, and can design systems that serve both • Comfort with ambiguity: you've navigated complex platform problems with many open design questions and competing stakeholder needs • Nice to have: Experience with policy engines (Oso, OPA, Cedar) or authorization architecture patterns • Nice to have: Background in GRC, compliance, or security-adjacent products • Nice to have: Familiarity with multi-tenant SaaS architectures

🏖️ Benefits

• 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!
