Why Vanta
We started Vanta in 2016 as Equifax had lost every American's social security number, Home Depot had leaked its customers' credit card numbers to hackers, and Facebook admitted that it irresponsibly sent user data to third parties who tried to influence the US election. It was clear that security and privacy had become mainstream issues, and that we all increasingly relied on cloud services to store everything from our personal photos to our communications at work.
Vanta's mission is to be the layer of trust on top of these services, and to secure the internet, increase trust in software companies, and keep consumer data safe.
We do this by building an automated head of security for technology companies, and we use that system to both help a company secure itself and to prove their security to others.
If we succeed in our mission, it should feel irresponsible for users to put data into a product that isn't certified by Vanta, and irresponsible for companies to collect data without using Vanta to secure and monitor themselves.
About the role
We are looking for an exceptional Senior People Business Partner (PBP) to support Vanta’s Revenue organization. This role will be our first PBP in Sydney, and will be a key partner to our APAC Revenue leaders.
You’ll play a critical role in accelerating Vanta’s growth and helping our Revenue leaders build, develop and retain world-class teams. Vanta’s People Business Partner (PBP) team is unique and our PBPs are exceptionally talented - they are “quarterbacks” for all People matters for the leaders and managers they support, and deeply involved in the business, given that our overall touchstone is that all People Team initiatives tie back to clear business outcomes. Examples of work that our PBP team does include leading change management, partnering on org design and strategy, driving people initiatives to engage and retain talent. You will be functionally embedded with the teams you support, and work with cross-functional stakeholders on their behalf, in order to help them achieve their business outcomes. Our PBP team is world class, and has historically delivered outsized service and outcomes. We’re looking for the most thoughtful, practical, and business-minded BPs to join the team and maintain/raise the bar!
This is a hybrid role, in office Tuesday-Thursday each week. What you’ll do as a Senior People Business Partner at Vanta:
- Serve as a trusted thought partner, consultant and coach to senior leaders across the APAC GTM organization
- Be the primary point of contact on all people-related matters for all APAC team members at all levels
- Act as a conduit between the APAC and NAMER GTM teams, ensuring teams and leaders are connected and aligned
- Provide support, guidance and thought leadership on areas such as performance management, change management, employee relations, workforce and talent planning, career development, manager development, etc.
- Collect and analyze data to deliver insights and drive recommendations that support the business
- Assess organizational health and effectiveness on a regular basis and identify opportunities to drive improvements and efficiencies
- Drive the project management and execution of critical People programs such as performance reviews, compensation planning, talent reviews, and engagement surveys
- In partnership with cross-functional stakeholders and the broader People team, build and implement top-tier, scalable programs and policies to attract, retain and grow outstanding talent at Vanta. You’ll serve as the subject matter expert in all things APAC people related, as you’ll be our sole people team member on the ground!
