Role
Who you are
- Have 10+ years of product design experience, with deep experience working on complex B2B and B2C SaaS products and 3+ years of successfully building and managing design teams
- Evidence of getting into the details to uphold a high standard of B2B design quality (UX and UI) and craftsmanship in your team’s work
- Proven track record of producing designs that impact the business – by digging in yourself, leading through others, and influencing internal stakeholders
- Deep experience partnering well with product management and engineering counterparts
- Passion for leading, coaching, and building an inspired team through setting vision, unlocking potential, and driving compassionate accountability. Ability to establish a vibrant, opinionated, and inclusive design culture
- Deep curiosity about AI and cybersecurity. Prior experience in security is helpful but not required. We’ve found that leaders with strong design skills in technically complex areas can bring fresh perspectives to create great experiences for our users
- As part of the interview, we require a portfolio that demonstrates work produced by your teams that has impacted the business, and operational practices you have implemented which have led to a higher functioning team
What the job involves
- As a Product Design Manager, at Vanta, you’ll lead a growing design team that’s responsible for maturing our Governance Risk and Compliance (GRC) product, including redesigning existing products and launching new products
- Vanta’s design team is warm, collaborative, talented, and ambitious. We love digging into user needs, sorting out complex problems, and designing solutions that help the whole Vanta product work better together. While some of us have prior security experience, it’s by no means required
- You will thrive at Vanta if you are passionate about building both teams and products, and if you embrace ambiguity, complexity, and the autonomy to shape our experience strategy and how we work as a team. We expect you to play an integral role as a thought leader, shaping our design practice as we continue to scale rapidly
- You will be responsible for managing and growing a team of designers working across multiple EPD squads
- Your focus will be bringing new capabilities to the Vanta platform that help us better meet the needs of a wide range of customers: from small startups who value speed, to large companies with complex requirements
- Ensure that our efforts across multiple teams fit together to form a coherent product, from design system details, to workflows, all the way up to mental models
- Coach and mentor a growing team of Product Designers, providing the expertise, direction, and support needed for high performance
- Build a best-in-class team, maintaining high standards for customer experience, design quality, and team cohesion
- Establish strong partnerships with Product and Engineering teams, fostering a sense of joint ownership and effective collaboration, and work cross-functional with partners in GTM
- Contribute to the product strategy and roadmap, working with Engineering and Product partners, and create the design vision for your domain, aligning it with our business strategy, advocating for customer outcomes and world-class user experience
Our take
The security auditing process is usually very time-consuming, taking hours to complete, and it is often difficult for startups to invest time into such a process. Yet, the benefits of security accreditation are enormous, mainly as many such businesses are working globally and need ways to demonstrate security compliance to one another. Vanta works specifically with startups to help them complete and pass security audits such as SOC 2 and ISO 27001.
The company is a compliance portal and security monitoring platform that businesses use to assess their risk levels. Vanta carries out a pre-audit of a company's digital security and highlights areas that need to be worked on before a full analysis of all threats is carried out. Other businesses such as Datadog or PagerDuty offer similar security monitoring services, but Vanta monitors its customers throughout the year, allowing any issues to be identified and addressed early on.
Vanta's latest $150M raise, boosting its valuation to $4.15B, highlights the company's rapid growth and strong market position. With AI-driven automation, expanding government partnerships, and strategic acquisitions on the horizon, Vanta is scaling quickly while solving real customer problems. Backed by a talented leadership team and a growing customer base, the company looks set to continue its upward trajectory and build a lasting, sustainable business.
