Senior Product Designer, Personnel

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.

• Use system thinking to create cohesive user experiences, considering how design patterns and components are used consistently across Vanta.

• Dive into Vanta's broader ecosystem, learning from other designers and contributing to how different areas of our product connect and interact.

• Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams, from engineers to product managers, to bring designs to life and ensure seamless implementation.

• Communicate design rationale effectively to stakeholders, building alignment and enthusiasm for your ideas.

• Lead by example and provide mentorship to junior designers, helping them grow their skills and understanding of design best practices.

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.
