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.\nAs the PM for Activation & Onboarding, you’ll own conversion and activation for Vanta’s agentic self-serve front door, building and relentlessly optimizing an experience where the Vanta agent sets up and runs each customer’s security program, seamlessly connected to the sales and success teams who support customers along the way.\nThe Activation & Onboarding team is building the agentic front door to Vanta: an onboarding experience where the Vanta agent sets up, configures, and starts running a customer's security program for them, instead of handing them a checklist. The team owns how new small customers get from signup to value across the full platform (GRC, Trust Center, TPRM, Risk, Access, Privacy), and owns the product experience for onboarding your company to Vanta.\nThis role is equal parts art and science. The art is owning the vision for an onboarding experience where the Vanta agent does the heavy lifting, and sales, onboarding, and success teams step in where they add the most value, all as one seamless experience. The science is owning conversion and activation end to end and sweating the details of every step, experiment, and conversion between signup and value. This is a company-level initiative and the engine of Vanta’s acquisition and activation. It sets time to value, conversion, and expansion for every new customer, and it’s where Vanta proves that an agent can run a security program.\nWhat you’ll do as a Staff Product Manager, Activation at Vanta:\nDefine the future of agentic AI onboarding at Vanta, including how the Vanta Agent can guide customers, complete setup on their behalf, and ultimately help run their security and compliance program.\n\nOwn and drive the self-serve onboarding experience for startups and downmarket customers. You will be the single accountable owner for creating a coherent, high-converting journey from first interaction through meaningful product adoption.\n\nPartner across Sales, Marketing, Customer Success, and Account Management to build one scalable self-serve program across products and packaging.\n\nWork across Vanta’s product teams to make it effortless for customers to discover, configure, and adopt Vanta’s products and platform capabilities as their needs evolve.\n\nEstablish the strategy, roadmap, and operating model for product activation and onboarding across the customer lifecycle\n\nPartner with Engineering, Design, Data, and GTM teams to define success metrics, identify friction, run experiments, and improve activation and time-to-value\n\nHow to be successful in this role:\nOwn the whole outcome. You will own a massive surface area spanning multiple departments, organizations, products, and customer segments. You feel accountable for creating one singular, coherent experience that makes Vanta feel seamless from the outside.\n\nSpeak fluent GTM and Account Management. While we are building a self-serve motion, it must operate as one program across the customer segment. You understand how and when Sales, Customer Success, and Account Management should engage, and how to design the right handoffs between product-led and service-supported experiences.\n\nEarn trust quickly. As Vanta’s product surface expands, you will work with PMs, designers, engineers, marketers, sales leaders, customer success partners, and account teams across the company. You build strong relationships quickly and bring people together around a clear customer and business outcome.\n\nThink in systems. You can connect individual onboarding moments to the broader platform, lifecycle, data, and operating systems required to support them at scale.\n\nOperate with clarity and conviction. You are comfortable making decisions in ambiguous environments, communicating tradeoffs, and creating momentum across teams without relying on formal authority.\n\nBuild for the future. You are excited by the opportunity to define an AI-native and agentic onboarding experience, and you are thoughtful about how agents can safely and effectively help customers run their security programs.\n\nUses AI in day-to-day work to amplify their skills and strengthen their outcomes, applying it across routine workflows, actively building fluency through experimentation, and exercising sound judgment to ensure AI-assisted work meets a high quality bar.\n\nWhat you can expect as a Vanta’n:\nIndustry-competitive salary and equity\n\nComprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage, with 100% of employee-only benefit premiums covered for most medical plans\n\n16 weeks paid Parental Leave for all new parents\n\nHealth & wellness stipend\n\nRemote workspace, internet, and cellphone stipend\n\nCommuter benefits for team members who report to the SF and NYC office\n\nFamily planning benefits\n\nMatching 401(k) contribution with immediate vesting\n\nFlexible PTO policy, plus 80 hours of Sick Time\n\n11 company-paid holidays\n\nVirtual team building activities, lunch and learns, and other company-wide events!\n\nOffices in SF, NYC, London, Dublin, Tel Aviv, and Sydney\n\nTo provide greater transparency to candidates, we share base pay ranges for all US-based job postings regardless of state.

As an equal opportunity employer, we encourage and welcome people of all backgrounds to apply.\nAbout Vanta\nWe 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.\nNow 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.\nReferral Instructions\nIf you are being referred for the role, please contact that person to apply on your behalf.","description_format":"text","description_chars":7136,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity","Parental leave"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Security Compliance"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-29T18:12:22Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 30 · green card filings: 4","filings_12m":30,"filings_prev_12m":16,"green_card_filings_12m":4,"median_offered_wage_usd":180147,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-29T16:27:21+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)","US Department of Labor: PERM disclosure data (green cards)"],"filings_for_role_12m":1}],"liveness":{"score":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.903,"p_room":1,"age_days":5,"expected_fill_days":61,"reasons":["conf:2","velocity","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-11-04T06:34:25Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":286000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/vanta-staff-product-manager-activation","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/vanta-staff-product-manager-activation.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-04T20:42:50Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":32025,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-05T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":4519},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=4519"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fvanta-staff-product-manager-activation"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fvanta-staff-product-manager-activation"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fvanta-staff-product-manager-activation"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/vanta-staff-product-manager-activation\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fvanta-staff-product-manager-activation"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3474034}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"vanta.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3474034},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
