Job description
At Vanta, our mission is to secure the internet and protect consumer data. 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.
The Automation group at Vanta manages how customers discover and connect to other platforms through integrations, use that data to power product experiences and tests, drive customers toward compliance-related security outcomes, and ultimately generate evidence for audit. As a Product Designer in the Automation group, you will help support our customers in testing their data as well as enabling them to continuously monitor their compliance program.
We are currently seeking a Senior Product Designer for our Automation Team. Our Automation team plays a key role in managing the surface areas that continuously monitor our customer’s compliance program. This role will sit on our Test Experience team where you will contribute to the strategic direction of how to evolve our test infrastructure to meet the needs of our upmarket customers.
Ideal candidates have a proven track record of creating exceptional B2B SaaS products that deliver impactful customer experiences while streamlining complex workflows. You thrive in ambiguous and complex environments, using autonomy to drive innovation and improve ease of use for knowledge management and workflow automation.
With strong collaboration skills, you’ll work closely with Product Management and Engineering to translate customer needs into successful business outcomes. While experience in GRC or security is a plus, it’s not required—many of our team members have excelled without prior industry experience. Experience with technical platforms such as dev tools, data, and analytics is a bonus.
You will report to a Design Director within the Platform Organization.
What you’ll do as a Senior Product Designer at Vanta:
Lead the design and execution of strategic, shared components and features that drive significant customer value and promote consistency across the platform.
Engage in customer discovery to shape feature strategy and design scalable experiences that align with the Platform pillar and Growth’s team’s goals.
Collaborate with product teams to identify and advocate for design initiatives that have a broad organizational impact.
Foster collaboration among design peers to ensure shared solutions are effective and adaptable across various areas of the platform.
Enhance our design system, ensuring additions support strategic objectives and uphold high design standards across the organization.
How to be successful in this role:
6+ years of experience delivering high-quality B2B SaaS products on large-scale projects, with a strong focus on high-quality design execution.
Proven ability to create designs that drive business impact by deeply understanding the domain, leveraging customer insights, validating decisions through research, and influencing internal stakeholders.
Demonstrated success in leading the design process from ambiguity to execution for entire product areas, maintaining high executional quality and organizational impact.
Strong collaboration skills with cross-functional teams (e.g., subject matter experts, engineers, sales), translating complex technical concepts into intuitive, customer-friendly designs.
Proven ability to mentor and influence others, including senior and executive management teams, driving design strategy, systemic thinking, and product sensibility.
Comfortable navigating ambiguity, solving complex problems, and managing projects with proactive escalation handling.
Excellent communication skills, capable of articulating design concepts to diverse audiences.
A portfolio is required, showcasing consumer-grade craftsmanship and product solutions tailored to customer needs.
What you can expect as a Vantan:
Industry-competitive compensation
100% covered medical, dental, and vision benefits with dependents coverage
16 weeks fully-paid parental Leave for all new parents
Health & wellness and remote workplace stipends
Family planning benefits through Carrot Fertility
401(k) matching
Flexible work hours and location
Open PTO policy
11 paid holidays in the US

Final offer amounts are determined by multiple factors and may vary based on candidate location, skills, depth of work experience, and relevant licenses/credentials.

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.
