Staff Product Designer

At Vanta, our mission is to secure the internet and protect consumer data. We achieve this by empowering companies to adopt better security practices and demonstrate them effortlessly. Security should be continuously monitored and verified, and at Vanta, we are committed to making that process straightforward.

We are currently seeking a B2B Staff Designer for our GRC product (Governance, Risk, and Compliance) and for our Trust products. This role is crucial in bringing our vision to life. Vanta operates as a collaborative, remote-first company and values alignment with our core principles.

Ideal candidates have a proven track record of crafting exceptional B2B SaaS products with consumer-grade craftsmanship, consistently delivering meaningful value to customers. You excel in environments that are full of ambiguity and complexity, enjoying the autonomy to shape plans that optimize and streamline customer experiences. Your history shows a strong ability to translate customer needs and technical challenges into positive business outcomes through effective partnerships with Product Management and Engineering. As a thought leader, you will play a pivotal role in shaping our design practices as we continue to expand rapidly. While prior experience in GRC or security is beneficial, it is not required, as many of our successful team members have thrived at Vanta without it.

The Experience Design organization champions our customers by creating and delivering efficient consumer grade experiences through our trust management platform. We aim to earn their trust and contribute to a more secure internet. By providing valuable solutions, we empower Vanta to grow as a business.

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.
