Head of Enterprise Sales, EMEA.

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. We are seeking an experienced Head of Enterprise Sales, EMEA to lead new business acquisition across EMEA. We are investing aggressively to capture the Enterprise opportunity in front of us, and we are moving upmarket fast. We are looking for a builder: someone who will pave the way upmarket and build a real Enterprise sales playbook from the ground up, rather than inherit one. Our segmentation reflects where we are on that journey. Enterprise is currently defined as companies with 400 or more employees, which makes it a broad segment. You will lead a team running a high volume of mid-sized deals at the lower end alongside the larger, complex enterprise deals at the top. Building a single motion that serves both, without compromising either, is one of the central challenges of this role.

Consistent record of achieving and exceeding Enterprise new business targets across multiple EMEA markets, with a real understanding of how buying behavior, procurement and security review differ across the region Comfort operating across a broad segment, from a high volume of mid-sized deals through to large, complex, multi-stakeholder enterpr
