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. 

As a Contracts Manager at Vanta, you will manage and optimize our commercial contracting process across sales and vendor engagements. From reviewing NDAs to owning our CLM system (Ironclad), you’ll be the legal team’s front line in helping internal stakeholders close deals efficiently and with reduced risk. This is a high-impact, high-visibility role supporting a rapidly growing GTM org.

The Legal team at Vanta supports the entire organization in achieving secure and compliant growth. We are collaborative, business-minded, and process-driven — partnering closely with Sales, RevOps, InfoSec, and G&A functions to reduce friction and protect the company’s interests.

What you’ll do as a Contracts Manager at Vanta:

  • Manage the full lifecycle of customer and vendor contracts, including NDAs, MSAs, DPAs, and related amendments.

  • Own and optimize the Ironclad CLM platform, including templates, workflows, automation, and reporting.

  • Triage and support inbound contract requests from Sales and RevOps, escalating legal issues as needed.

  • Review and process NDAs efficiently, using established playbooks to guide low-risk negotiations.

  • Support vendor contracting and procurement workflows in partnership with InfoSec, Finance, and business stakeholders.

  • Track contract metrics and trends, identify process improvements, and help implement automation tools to support scale.

How to be successful in this role:

  • 3–5 years of experience in contracts management, legal operations, or commercial legal support in-house (ideally in SaaS or B2B tech).

  • High comfort level reviewing NDAs independently and quickly, with solid judgment for escalating deviations from standard positions.

  • Hands-on experience with CLM tools, especially Ironclad; experience collaborating through tools like Salesforce and Jira is a plus.

  • Familiarity with SaaS contracting terms, data privacy requirements, and vendor diligence flows.

  • You speak AI fluently and understand how it can speed legal processes.

  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills — you enjoy demystifying legal for business teams.

  • Organized, adaptable, and proactive about process improvement and scale.

What you can expect as a Vantan:

  • Industry-competitive compensation

  • 100% covered medical, dental, and vision benefits with dependents coverage

  • 16 weeks fully-paid parental Leave for all new parents

  • Health & wellness and remote workplace stipends

  • Family planning benefits through Carrot Fertility

  • 401(k) matching

  • Flexible work hours and location

  • Open PTO policy

  • 11 paid holidays in the US

  • Offices in SF, NYC, London, Dublin, and Sydney

At Vanta, we are committed to hiring diverse talent of different backgrounds and as such, it is important to us to provide an inclusive work environment for all. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, gender identity, age, religion, sexual orientation, veteran or disability status, or any other protected class. As an equal opportunity employer, we encourage and welcome people of all backgrounds to apply.

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.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
