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.

This work is all powered by AI, saving teams time, reducing manual overhead, and making it easier to keep a clear line of sight over your full suite of third parties. In this role, you’ll partner closely with Product and Engineering to design clear, efficient experiences that bring clarity to complexity. Beyond individual projects, you’ll influence product strategy, align cross-functional teams, and elevate our design practices as Vanta continues to grow.

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.
