About this role
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.
At Vanta, we’re scaling fast—and we’re building a finance team that can scale with us. As we grow and evolve, we’re tackling increasingly complex and exciting accounting challenges. If you’re a detail-oriented, systems-savvy accounting professional who thrives in dynamic environments and wants to help shape the future of a rapidly growing company, we’d love to meet you.
As our Senior Manager of Credit & Collections, you’ll lead and mentor a team of AR collection specialists while owning the end to end collections strategy for a global and growing customer base. You’ll oversee timely and accurate collections across segments, design scalable processes and build reporting to drive visibility to DSO, aging, and risk exposure. This role is a unique opportunity to shape the collections function, reduce risk, and contribute directly to healthy cash flow and sustainable growth.
But that’s just part of the job.
Beyond that, you’ll also drive tooling improvements, implement strong internal controls, and support audit readiness to ensure compliance with accounting standards and company policies. You'll work cross-functionally with Sales, Account Management, Customer Success and Legal, helping to bridge accounting rigor with operational excellence.

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.
