Manager, Tech Sourcing

At Vanta, our mission is to secure the internet and protect consumer data. 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. 

As the Manager of Tech Sourcing, you’ll be responsible for building and leading a high-performing team of technical sourcers focused on identifying and engaging global engineering talent. This is a high-impact, strategic role where you’ll partner closely with recruiting leadership and engineering leaders to build proactive, scalable talent strategies that directly shape the trajectory of the business.

At our core, we believe that sourcing is not a stepping stone to recruiting; it is a distinct, critical discipline that demands its own expertise, rigor, and excellence. Exceptional organizations are built on exceptional talent and sourcing plays a pivotal role in uncovering, understanding, and engaging the game-changing individuals who can redefine what's possible.

We’re looking for a sourcing leader who shares this belief. Someone who can lead with vision, execute with precision, and elevate the function as a true strategic partner to the business.

• Build and Lead the Sourcing Function: Establish and scale our engineering sourcing team, defining best practices, workflows, tools, and metrics.

• Team Development: Hire, coach, mentor, and manage a team of technical sourcers. Create career development plans and foster a culture of excellence and collaboration.

• Strategic Talent Mapping: Drive market research and talent intelligence initiatives to identify critical skill gaps, talent clusters, and emerging trends.

• Data-Driven Decisions: Use data and sourcing analytics to continuously improve pipeline quality, outreach effectiveness, and team performance.

• Employer Brand Activation: Partner with marketing and recruiting to position our company as an employer of choice in niche engineering markets.

• Strong operational ability (project management, prioritization, and execution) in fast-paced environments.

• Passion for developing talent and building inclusive, high-performance teams.

About Vanta

We started in 2018, in the wake of several high-profile data breaches. Online security was only becoming more important, but we knew firsthand how hard it could be for fast-growing companies to invest the time and manpower it takes to build a solid security foundation. Vanta was inspired by a vision to restore trust in internet businesses by enabling companies to improve and prove their security.From our early days automating security monitoring for compliance standards like SOC 2, HIPAA and ISO 27001 to creating the world's leading Trust Management Platform, our vision remains unchanged. 

Now more than ever, making security continuous—not just a point-in-time check— is essential. Thousands of companies rely on Vanta to build, maintain and demonstrate their trust— all in a way that's real-time and transparent.
