Senior People Business Partner - APAC

At Vanta, our mission is to secure the internet and protect consumer data. 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 looking for an exceptional Senior People Business Partner (PBP) to support Vanta’s Revenue organization. This role will be our first PBP in Sydney, and will be a key partner to our APAC Revenue leaders.

You’ll play a critical role in accelerating Vanta’s growth and helping our Revenue leaders build, develop and retain world-class teams. Vanta’s People Business Partner (PBP) team is unique and our PBPs are exceptionally talented - they are “quarterbacks” for all People matters for the leaders and managers they support, and deeply involved in the business, given that our overall touchstone is that all People Team initiatives tie back to clear business outcomes.

Examples of work that our PBP team does include leading change management, partnering on org design and strategy, driving people initiatives to engage and retain talent. You will be functionally embedded with the teams you support, and work with cross-functional stakeholders on their behalf, in order to help them achieve their business outcomes. Our PBP team is world class, and has historically delivered outsized service and outcomes. We’re looking for the most thoughtful, practical, and business-minded BPs to join the team and maintain/raise the bar!

This is a hybrid role, in office Tuesday-Thursday each week.

What you’ll do as a Senior People Business Partner at Vanta:

• Serve as a trusted thought partner, consultant and coach to senior leaders across the APAC GTM organization

• Be the primary point of contact on all people-related matters for all APAC team members at all levels

• Act as a conduit between the APAC and NAMER GTM teams, ensuring teams and leaders are connected and aligned

• Provide support, guidance and thought leadership on areas such as performance management, change management, employee relations, workforce and talent planning, career development, manager development, etc.

• Collect and analyze data to deliver insights and drive recommendations that support the business

• Assess organizational health and effectiveness on a regular basis and identify opportunities to drive improvements and efficiencies

• Drive the project management and execution of critical People programs such as performance reviews, compensation planning, talent reviews, and engagement surveys

• In partnership with cross-functional stakeholders and the broader People team, build and implement top-tier, scalable programs and policies to attract, retain and grow outstanding talent at Vanta. You’ll serve as the subject matter expert in all things APAC people related, as you’ll be our sole people team member on the ground!

How to be successful in this role:

• 5+ years of experience as a BP supporting senior leaders in a fast-paced environment; experience supporting Revenue organizations in high-growth companies a plus

• Excellent influencer, communicator, facilitator, and listener with a balanced and thoughtful approach to building trust across all levels of the organization

• Creativity and grit to skillfully problem solve and navigate dynamic, ambiguous situations

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.
