About the role
- 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 set standard base pay ranges for all roles based on function, level, and country location, benchmarked against similar-stage growth companies.
Responsibilities
- 15+ years of design experience, with 5+ years leading and scaling large design organizations, with director-level reports
- Deep fluency in interaction design and visual craft - enjoys getting into the weeds, providing precise direction, and holding a high bar for quality across design decisions
- Vanta is hiring for a Head of Design (VP) to lead our design organization - setting direction for a ~40-person team, shaping the next generation of AI-native product experiences, and building the quality systems that let great design ship at scale.
- The Design team at Vanta shapes how security and compliance teams experience Vanta - from a startup founder building their security program for the first time to an enterprise security team managing hundreds of controls.
- The org spans all areas of Vanta - GRC, Trust, Platform, Self-serve, and AI - and includes product designers, visual designers, design engineering, content designers, and a user researcher, led by experienced design directors.
- As AI fundamentally changes what products can do and how they get built, this team is at an inflection point: the right leader will define what it means for a design org to be genuinely AI-forward - enabling designers to move faster, ship more, and contribute to product direction and delivery in new ways.
- This is the right role for a design leader who leads with AI fluency, brings strong taste and craft across interaction design and visual design, and has the operational instincts to build the systems that make quality a consistent property of the whole org.
- Lead a team of ~40 designers and design directors across GRC, Trust, Platform, Self-serve, and AI - setting org-wide direction and enabling each leader to do their best work
- Lead the team building the next generation of agentic, AI-native product experiences - defining what great design looks like as Vanta's products are increasingly shaped by AI
- has built AI tooling, workflows, and cultural adoption into a design team's practice, enabling teams to ship more and move faster; has a clear point of view on how AI changes design roles and team structure
