Senior Product Manager, Issue Management

Vanta is a company dedicated to helping businesses earn and prove trust through continuous security monitoring. As a Senior Product Manager for Issue Management, you will own the vision and strategy for compliance remediation and exception management, building AI-powered workflows to enhance compliance processes for enterprise customers.

Responsibilities:

• Own the vision, strategy, and roadmap for Issue Management and Exception Management — positioning both as competitive differentiators that win enterprise GRC deals and drive retention
• Build exception management from the ground up — partner closely with upmarket sales and solutions engineering to define what enterprise prospects need, scope the MVP, and ship the capability that unlocks deals
• Lead the agentic AI opportunity for Issue and Exception Management — define and build AI-powered workflows that proactively surface compliance risks, automate issue routing and escalation, and reduce the manual overhead of managing exceptions at scale
• Conduct deep customer discovery with enterprise accounts — understand how customers manage compliance issues and policy exceptions at scale, and translate those insights into scalable product solutions rather than one-off fixes
• Partner with go-to-market to close the loop between product and pipeline — help position capabilities competitively, build the GTM motion for new features, and inform how sales and SEs talk about the product
• Define success metrics and make data-informed decisions — establish KPIs for adoption, customer value, and business impact; use data to guide prioritization and communicate roadmap progress across EPD and leadership
• You'll own two strategically important product areas — issue management is table-stakes for enterprise GRC customers, and exception management is an active deal-blocker that you'll be the person to solve
• You're building greenfield — exception management is a first-class product build with clear customer demand, direct GTM pull, and a dedicated team behind you
• You'll have a real opportunity to build the agentic future of compliance workflows — greenfield AI work with clear customer problems, enterprise scale, and a team ready to move fast
• You'll work closely with go-to-market from day one — this is a high-visibility, commercially-connected PM role where the line between what you build and revenue outcomes is direct and short

Requirements:

• 6–8 years of product management experience in B2B SaaS, with a track record of building for enterprise or upmarket customers with complex, multi-stakeholder workflows
• Proven AI or agentic product experience — you've built AI-powered features and understand where AI creates genuine differentiation versus noise; you can identify the right problem before reaching for the technology
• Commercial fluency and GTM partnership skills — you've worked directly with sales or solutions engineering, understand how product gaps affect deals, and can translate customer pain into competitive positioning
• Comfort building in greenfield spaces — you've taken a product area from zero to one, developed conviction in ambiguity, and shipped foundational capabilities with a clear framework for what comes next
• A strong PM foundation — structured thinking, sharp prioritization, the ability to balance big-picture strategy with pragmatic, iterative execution
• Open to using AI to amplify their skills and strengthen their work - demonstrating curiosity, a willingness to learn, and sound judgment in applying AI responsibly to improve efficiency and impact
