Senior Data Analyst, Strategic Finance - job 1 of 2

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 Senior Data Analyst on the Strategic Finance team, you’ll play a pivotal role in uncovering the insights that shape company-wide planning, forecasting, and strategic decision-making. This high-impact role blends analytical rigor, technical fluency, and business acumen to steer financial strategy and identify opportunities for scalable growth.

Strategic Finance partners with every team at Vanta—from Sales to Product to G&A—and you’ll collaborate closely with stakeholders to build trust and deliver data-driven recommendations. Your work will influence everything from operating plans and investment decisions to self-serve reporting and process automation. This is a unique opportunity to deepen your analytics expertise in a dynamic, high-growth environment, with visibility into executive-level priorities and the ability to shape them with data.

What you’ll do as a Senior Data Analyst at Vanta:

• Deliver strategic insights by conducting deep, prioritized analyses that inform high-impact financial decisions.

• Act as a technical partner to teams across RevOps, Analytics, Data Engineering, Marketing, and more—serving as a key liaison between Strategic Finance and the broader business.

• Collaborate with stakeholders to translate data into actionable recommendations that drive business outcomes.

• Increase team efficiency by automating recurring deliverables and helping scale Strategic Finance workflows as the company grows.

• Empower decision-makers with self-service dashboards and data assets that surface trends and drive informed choices across the business.

• Advance our analytics infrastructure by partnering with Data Engineering to improve dataset development and evolve our overall analytical capabilities.

How to be successful in this role:

• Experience: 4+ years of experience in data analysis or equivalent function. Experience within SaaS, consulting, or investment banking types of industries is preferred.

• Technical Skills: Strong proficiency in SQL and data visualization tools (e.g., Tableau, Sigma), with experience handling large and complex data sets. Familiarity with DBT is preferred. Bonus points for scripting skills in Python or R for advanced analysis.

• Analytical Thinking: Proven ability to analyze complex data sets, uncover key insights, and translate findings into actionable strategies that drive financial outcomes.

• Collaboration: Demonstrated success working cross-functionally and building relationships across business teams. Comfortable engaging stakeholders with varying levels of data fluency.

• Communication: Clear and effective communicator, both written and verbal. Skilled at presenting complex data insights to non-technical audiences.

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Data Analytics, Statistics, Informatics, Finance, Economics, Business, or a related field. A Master’s degree or higher is a plus.

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

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.
