At Vanta, our mission is to help businesses earn and prove trust. 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 an SEO Manager at Vanta, you’ll play a vital role in developing, executing, and scaling our SEO program. Reporting to the Senior SEO Manager on the Web team, you’ll partner with PMM, Content, Comms and Brand studio to execute on projects that boost Vanta’s search visibility across search engines and LLMs. The ultimate goal of the SEO program is to contribute to pipeline generation.

What you’ll do as a SEO Manager at Vanta

Help lead and implement comprehensive SEO and AEO strategies that increase organic traffic, brand visibility, and drive pipeline.
Research, architect, and orchestrate ICP-centric content experiences—blog posts, content hubs, resources, and more—that engage and convert.
Collaborate with PMM, Content, and security/compliance subject-matter experts to build and execute a SEO editorial roadmap aligned with product and messaging priorities.
Create and manage a backlog of experiments and optimizations (FAQs, content layout tweaks, video integration, CTAs, schema markup, and more).
Partner with Comms and external agencies on digital-PR initiatives that earn authoritative backlinks and brand mentions to amplify our brand search visibility.
Monitor and evaluate SEO performance, report on key metrics, and refine tactics based on insights.

How to be successful in this role

You have 3-5+ years of SEO experience–preferably in a high-growth enterprise SaaS business–with a record of delivering measurable growth.
Proficiency in SEO tools, such as GA4, Google Search Console, SEMRush, Ahrefs, Sitebulb, etc.
You are leveraging AI in your daily workflows to amplify your impact and output
You think like both a content strategist and engineer, balancing big-picture planning and refinement of defensible content systems.
You are excited about optimizing for LLMs and adapting to the new zero-click paradigm.
You are a strong collaborator and communicator who can build relationships with cross-functional teams and agencies.
Experience with programmatic SEO, YouTube SEO, and localization strategies is a plus

At Vanta, we are committed to hiring diverse talent of different backgrounds and as such, it is important to us to provide an inclusive work environment for all. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, gender identity, age, religion, sexual orientation, veteran or disability status, or any other protected class.

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.
