About the job
At Vanta, we are dedicated to empowering businesses to cultivate and demonstrate trust. Our belief is that security should be consistently monitored and validated, and we enable companies to enhance their security practices effortlessly. Vanta boasts a talented and supportive team; while some members come with prior security experience, many have thrived in their roles without it.
We are in search of a Specialty Account Executive to bolster and expedite deals related to Third Party Risk Management (TPRM) and emerging products across the EMEA region.
As a Specialty Account Executive, your primary role is to facilitate the closure of deals by providing in-depth product expertise, leading insightful discovery sessions, delivering exceptional product demonstrations, and taking initiative to advance opportunities. You will collaborate closely with Core Account Executives as a valuable deal ally, stepping in when specialized knowledge, technical assurance, or additional execution strength is required.
If you possess extensive experience in product analysis, enjoy navigating complex deal scenarios, and thrive in collaborative team environments, this position is tailored for you.
Key Responsibilities as a Specialty Account Executive at Vanta:
Collaborate with Core Account Executives to facilitate TPRM and emerging product deals, guiding them from initial discovery to closure.
Conduct and lead comprehensive discovery discussions to identify risk, compliance, and third-party management use cases.
Provide high-quality, comprehensive product demonstrations for TPRM and related offerings, confidently addressing basic technical inquiries independently.
Serve as a deal accelerator: engage proactively to maintain momentum (customer calls, follow-ups, Loom videos, executive alignment, on-site travel, etc.).
Contribute to deal strategy by identifying obstacles, risks, and pathways to closure.
Offer real-time insights to Product and Enablement teams based on customer interactions and deal insights.
Assist in refining Vanta’s specialty selling approach as TPRM and emerging products evolve in the market.
Play a pivotal role in expanding Vanta’s next generation of products beyond core compliance offerings.
Become an integral part of a highly collaborative, deal-oriented specialty sales team.
Influence the development of specialty selling practices at Vanta as the function matures.
