Senior Product Designer - Questionnaire Automation

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 Questionnaire Automation product, which helps teams complete security questionnaires more efficiently using AI-powered solutions and workflows.

Your focus will be on boosting user efficiency, enhancing features for better customer satisfaction, and showing product value through insights and reporting. In this role you’ll help shape the future of our Questionnaire Automation product by:

• Exploring new frontiers with how new AI technologies can automate critical security workflows

• Leading new projects to drive AI powered insights, automate manual and repetitive tasks and simplify complex workflows to create integrated product experiences.

• Influencing key features across the company by creating design guidelines that ensure a seamless experience for all Vanta customers.

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.

With strong collaboration skills, you’ll work closely with Product Management and Engineering to translate customer needs into successful business outcomes. 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.

About Vanta

We started in 2018, in the wake of several high-profile data breaches. Online security was only becoming more important, but we knew firsthand how hard it could be for fast-growing companies to invest the time and manpower it takes to build a solid security foundation. Vanta was inspired by a vision to restore trust in internet businesses by enabling companies to improve and prove their security.From our early days automating security monitoring for compliance standards like SOC 2, HIPAA and ISO 27001 to creating the world's leading Trust Management Platform, our vision remains unchanged.

Now more than ever, making security continuous—not just a point-in-time check— is essential. Thousands of companies rely on Vanta to build, maintain and demonstrate their trust— all in a way that's real-time and transparent.
