Vantor is seeking a Head of Services, International Government to build and lead the services organization supporting our International Government (IG) business.

This is a builder role for a leader with vision, urgency, and strong operational discipline. You will create and scale a services model that helps customers turn Vantor capabilities into measurable mission outcomes while supporting the growth of our international government business.

You will lead services across professional services, implementation, integration, configuration, training, and mission support. Working closely with Sales, Solutions Architecture, Solutions Engineering, Product, Customer Success, PMO, and Partners, you will shape services strategy, reduce delivery risk, accelerate adoption, and ensure successful customer outcomes.

We are not looking for a passive administrator. We are looking for a hands-on builder-operator who can create structure, drive execution, and scale a services business in a fast-moving environment.

Why This Role Matters

International Government customers operate in complex, mission-critical environments where technical credibility, trust, and execution excellence are essential.

As part of the IG Mission Acceleration Group, the Head of Services will build the services engine that enables this success. You will establish a repeatable, partner-enabled delivery model that improves customer outcomes, strengthens strategic pursuits, and scales Vantor's ability to execute globally.
