Director of Product Design, Platform

At Vanta, our mission is to secure the internet and protect consumer data. We believe security should be continuously monitored and verified. We do this by empowering companies to practice better security and prove it with ease. Vanta is a collaborative, remote-first company with a kind and talented team.

A good fit for this role has experience in building centralized capabilities that can be leveraged across multiple products (think onboarding, conversations, inbox, notifications, identity, and workflow automation), which are core to enabling our customers to collaborate in compliance and security workflows.

You will thrive at Vanta if you are an opinionated design leader who is a true builder (of both teams and products), enjoys ambiguity and complexity, and values autonomy to shape the strategy for an optimal and efficient customer experience. You know how to articulate and deliver business value and enable your teams to do great work. To achieve great outcomes for the platform, you need to partner with other teams, orient around customer needs, understand the technical challenges that come with scale, and know how to be opinionated to achieve the right results with your Product Management and Engineering counterparts to execute a vision that enables Vanta to do more than what we see today.

The design organization is responsible for delivering great experiences for the suite of products in compliance and trust management to build a more trusted internet. We care about customers, craft and business to ensure we are meeting and exceeding expectations, where it matters.

• Lead multiple teams to develop and deliver cross-platform solutions that are intuitive, flexible, and provide substantial customer value.

• Oversee the design and implementation of shared primitives, components, and features to ensure consistent experiences throughout the Vanta platform.
