Senior Product Designer, AI Platform

About the position

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. We are currently seeking a Senior Product Designer for our AI Platform team. In this role, you will play a key role in establishing Vanta’s AI offerings, improving our Design System, and contributing to design strategy across many product areas. You will be part of the core AI team, working alongside a multidisciplinary group of product engineers, machine learning engineers, product managers, and security and compliance experts to accelerate AI innovation and adoption. You will be responsible for establishing design patterns and best practices to empower Vanta’s product teams as they create and enhance high-quality AI products used to automate and streamline key customer workflows. 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. You love experimentation and learning from customers. While experience in GRC or security is a plus, it’s not required—many of our team members have excelled without prior industry experience. The Experience Design organization champions our customers by creating and delivering efficient consumer grade experiences through our trust management platform. We aim to earn their trust and contribute to a more secure internet. By providing valuable solutions, we empower Vanta to grow as a business. Our role is vital to the company’s strategic direction, and you will have a significant impact on our product development. You will report to a Design Director within the Experience Design Organization.
