Description

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 Solutions Engineer, you'll serve as a trusted technical voice, guiding customers toward clarity, feasibility, and alignment on the end-to-end solution.

You’ll be an integral part of the Sales team, working to ensure technical fit and create innovative solutions for our customers. Your attention to detail, focused on customer needs, will ultimately improve retention and overall success.

With this role being specific to support our French Market account teams and customers, having full French Language proficiency is a must for this successful candidate.

This role will be based from our London office with an office-centric hybrid schedule. The standard in-office days are Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.

What you’ll do as a Solutions Engineer at Vanta:

Serve as a strategic sales partner, owning the technical relationship with prospects and customers.

Strategic Discovery and Deal Qualification: Partner with Account Executives to uncover technical, operational, and business pain points, validating use cases and aligning solutions to measurable customer impact and urgency.

Secure the Solution Win and Alignment: Validate technical feasibility, drive clarity on success criteria, and guide stakeholders toward a shared vision for the end-to-end solution (The Solution Win: Desirable, Viable, and Aligned).

High-Impact Technical Validation: Deliver tailored, narrative-driven demonstrations that showcase how Vanta solves the customer's specific problem. Validate the feasibility of standard and semi-complex integrations and confirm alignment with customer environments, workflows, and architectures.

Solution Strategy and Deal Shaping: Partner with the Account Executive to align the customer's success criteria with Vanta's unique strengths, proactively surface technical risks, and propose clear pathways to ensure focused deal progression and mutual success.

Post-Sale Handoff and Continuity: Ensure a seamless transition to the post-sales team by creating and completing a handoff document that captures the finalised solution design, expectations, and any known risks or constraints.

Cross-Functional Feedback: Act as a trusted technical voice, listening carefully to customers to provide structured market feedback to the Product team to prioritise functionality and drive sales opportunities.

Support customers throughout their trial process with Vanta.

Cultivate an environment of teamwork, openness, creativity, and continuous improvement.

How to be successful in this role:

Must be able to work in our London office 3 days a week (Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday).
Have 5+ years of customer-facing, technical experience as a solutions engineer, sales engineer or equivalent title, including previous B2B SaaS experience.
Strategic Problem Solver: Possess deep technical proficiency to identify and validate technical, operational, and business pain points, driving clarity on solution requirements (Viable Solution Win).
Exceptional Communicator: Exhibit outstanding communication, storytelling, and active listening abilities, capable of delivering tailored, high-impact demonstrations that reinforce the sales narrative (Command of the Message).
Customer-Centric Advocate: Lead with empathy and curiosity, focusing on strategic discovery to uncover the why and urgency behind customer needs and tying every technical detail to measurable buyer impact (Desirable Solution Win).

Collaborative Deal Shaper: Work in lockstep with Account Executives on deal strategy, proactively strengthening qualification and guiding stakeholders toward alignment on a clear delivery path (Aligned Solution Win).

Have hands-on experience with cloud platforms: AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure & Operating Systems (Windows, MacOS, Linux) and cloud application architecture.

Be detail-oriented and organized, with strong project management skills.

Have general knowledge with a scripting language (Python, Ruby, Bash, and JavaScript) and a desire to expand those skills.

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.
