Manager, Technical Sourcing

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 the Manager of Technical Sourcing, you’ll be responsible for building and leading a high-performing team of technical sourcers focused on identifying and engaging global engineering talent across Engineering, Product, Design, and Security. This is a high-impact, strategic role where you’ll partner closely with recruiting leadership and engineering leaders to build proactive, scalable talent strategies that directly shape the trajectory of the business.

At our core, we believe that sourcing is not a stepping stone to recruiting; it is a distinct, critical discipline that demands its own expertise, rigor, and excellence. Exceptional organizations are built on exceptional talent and sourcing plays a pivotal role in uncovering, understanding, and engaging the game-changing individuals who can redefine what’s possible.

We’re looking for a sourcing leader who shares this belief. Someone who can lead with vision, execute with precision, and elevate the function as a true strategic partner to the business.

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

• Build and Lead the Sourcing Function: Establish and scale our engineering sourcing team, defining best practices, workflows, tools, and metrics.
• Team Development: Hire, coach, mentor, and manage a team of technical sourcers. Create career development plans and foster a culture of excellence and collaboration.
• Strategic Talent Mapping: Drive market research and talent intelligence initiatives to identify critical skill gaps, talent clusters, and emerging trends.
• Pipeline Ownership: Build and maintain strategic talent pipelines for high-priority engineering roles across software, infrastructure, and security.
• Partnership with Engineering: Collaborate with engineering and product leadership to understand team needs and deliver sourcing strategies aligned to business goals.
• Data-Driven Decisions: Use data and sourcing analytics to continuously improve pipeline quality, outreach effectiveness, and team performance.
• Employer Brand Activation: Partner with marketing and recruiting to position our company as an employer of choice in niche engineering markets.

How to be successful in this role:

• 10+ years of experience in technical sourcing or recruiting, with at least 3+ years in a leadership role managing sourcers or recruiters.
• Proven experience building and leading technical sourcing teams in high-growth environments that require balancing immediate hiring needs with future talent demand.
• Expertise in passive candidate engagement, talent mapping, and funnel strategy for complex engineering roles.
• Deep understanding of sourcing tools, CRM systems, and boolean/X-ray techniques.
• Exceptional collaboration and influencing skills across both recruiting and business stakeholders.
• Strong operational ability (project management, prioritization, and execution) in fast-paced environments.
• Passion for developing talent and building inclusive, high-performance teams.

What you can expect as a Vantan:

• Industry-competitive compensation
• 100% covered medical, dental, and vision benefits with dependents coverage
