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 a Senior Product Designer at Vanta, you will shape the vision and execution of the Customer Trust Management (CTM) product area. In this role, you’ll drive design excellence in one of the most complex and impactful areas of our product, helping customers manage third-party risk at scale. Our Customer Trust Management product helps teams reduce their risks from third party vendors. Vanta helps customers track their vendors, conduct risk assessments, and continuously monitor for breaches and vulnerabilities. This work is all powered by AI, saving teams time, reducing manual overhead, and making it easier to keep a clear line of sight over your full suite of third parties. In this role, you’ll partner closely with Product and Engineering to design clear, efficient experiences that bring clarity to complexity. Beyond individual projects, you’ll influence product strategy, align cross-functional teams, and elevate our design practices as Vanta continues to grow. You will report to the Director of Design within the Trust Product Pillar.
