About The Position

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 GTM’s first Analytics Engineer, you'll build the foundational data infrastructure that enables trusted, scalable insights across our go-to-market organization. Embedded within our GTM Analytics team, you'll design and implement our semantic layer and data mart architecture, transforming raw data into governed, reusable models that serve as the single source of truth for critical business metrics. This role sits at the powerful intersection of data engineering and business analytics. You'll partner closely with GTM Analysts who bring deep business context, Finance teams who rely on metric alignment, and Data Engineering teams who maintain our platform. Your work will directly enable self-service analytics, reduce metric fragmentation, and lay the groundwork for AI-powered insights that drive revenue decisions.

Requirements

Experience: At least 4 years in Analytics Engineering, Data Engineering, or equivalent roles focused on transforming and modeling data for analytics. Strong preference for candidates with 2+ years of deep dbt experience architecting projects, not just writing models.
dbt Expertise: Advanced proficiency with dbt (dbt Cloud preferred)—you've built or significantly contributed to dbt projects, managed configurations, implemented testing frameworks, and established governance patterns.
Data Modeling: Strong dimensional modeling skills (facts, dimensions, star schemas, data marts) and experience designing scalable analytical data architectures in modern cloud warehouses (Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift).
GTM/Revenue Metrics: Solid understanding of go-to-market and financial metrics such as ARR, NRR, GRR, ACV, pipeline coverage, conversion rates, and quota attainment. Ability to translate business definitions into technical models.
SQL Mastery: Advanced SQL skills for complex transformations, aggregations, window functions, and performance optimization over large-scale datasets.
Collaboration: Proven ability to work effectively with cross-functional partners, including business analysts, finance teams, data engineers, and business stakeholders. You can translate technical concepts for non-technical audiences and vice versa.
Data Quality Mindset: Obsessed with correctness - you proactively implement testing, reconciliation processes, and data quality checks to prevent issues before they impact stakeholders.
Communication: Excellent written and verbal communication skills. You document your work clearly and can explain complex data models to both technical and business audiences.
Education: Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Statistics, Mathematics, or related technical field preferred.
Open to using AI to amplify their skills and strengthen their work - demonstrating curiosity, a willingness to learn, and sound judgment in applying AI responsibly to improve efficiency and impact.
