Director of Product Design
at Vanta
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.
The Third-Party Risk Management team drives product development excellence across Vanta's EPD organization. This area is responsible for building and improving the tools, practices, and systems that enable product squads to move faster and deliver higher-quality experiences. As Director of Design, you will lead a team of product designers, set the design strategy for the area, and ensure Vanta ships world-class user experiences across your squads.
As a Director of Product Design at Vanta, you will define a net-new experience vision, strategy, and execution for a highly AI-centric workflow builder. You’ll partner cross functionally to align others around your vision and execution, championing your experience strategy to scale your customer impact. You’ll enable Vanta to serve our most complex enterprise use cases while opening up an entirely new class of automation and extensibility across the product.
What you’ll do as a Director of Design at Vanta:
- Set the vision and design strategy for Vanta’s Risk product area, helping customers understand, prioritize, and act on risk across their organizations.
- Lead, mentor, and grow a high-performing team of product designers while fostering a culture of craft, experimentation, accountability, and customer obsession.
- Partner closely with Product, Engineering, Research, Content Design, Design Systems, and Go-to-Market teams to shape strategy and deliver cohesive customer experiences.
- Translate complex risk management workflows into intuitive, scalable experiences for security, compliance, IT, legal, finance, and business stakeholders.
- Define experiences that help customers identify, assess, treat, monitor, communicate, and report on risk.

- Guide the design of enterprise-grade risk registers, dashboards, reporting experiences, and workflows that give customers a clear view of their risk posture.
- Lead customer-centered discovery and research with risk managers, security leaders, compliance professionals, and other Vanta customers to identify meaningful problems and validate solutions.
- Establish a high bar for interaction design, visual design, information architecture, accessibility, content, and overall product quality.
- Influence product strategy and roadmap decisions through strong design perspectives, customer insights, prototypes, and compelling narratives.
- Develop frameworks and processes that help the Risk design team make effective decisions, move quickly, and maintain consistency across complex product experiences.
