vanta - Staff Product Designer, Activation

• 8+ years of experience designing and shipping high-quality B2B SaaS products, including work that spans multiple teams and quarters. • A track record of designing for business outcomes such as activation, onboarding completion, time-to-value, or retention, and the ability to say where the number started and where it landed. • Experience shipping AI-powered or automation-heavy products, with a strong point of view on how people and agents should work together. • Proven ability to set direction in ambiguous, high-stakes problem spaces: you frame the problem, write the brief, make principled tradeoffs, and bring a clear position to the table. • Strong written strategy skills. You've authored product briefs, strategy docs, or roadmaps that leadership used to make real decisions. • Experience leading large-scale, cross-functional initiatives, including running the recurring meetings, reviews, and rituals that keep many stakeholders aligned and work moving. • Fluency with product analytics and experimentation. You define success metrics, design tests, and change course based on results, including the ones you didn't want. • Exceptional interaction, visual, and content craft on dense, complex product UI, plus experience building patterns that scale across teams. • Strong storytelling and communication skills. You can align a squad, partner teams, and executives around a direction, and keep momentum through setbacks. • Experience working through and alongside other designers to deliver larger efforts, and a habit of mentoring and giving candid, useful feedback. • A portfolio is required, showing end-to-end product work, the reasoning behind key decisions, and the outcomes it delivered. • Experience with product-led growth, onboarding, or guided-setup experiences, especially for small teams or founders. • Experience designing agentic workflows, conversational interfaces, or human-in-the-loop review flows. • Comfort prototyping in code or with AI tools to test ideas quickly with customers and partners. • Familiarity with security, compliance, or GRC. It helps, but it isn't required: many of our designers learned the domain on the job. • Uses AI in day-to-day work to amplify their skills and strengthen their outcomes, applying it across routine workflows, actively building fluency through experimentation, and exercising sound judgment to ensure AI-assisted work meets a high quality bar. • What you can expect as a Vanta’n: • Industry-competitive salary and equity • Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage, with 100% of employee-only benefit premiums covered for most medical plans • 16 weeks paid Parental Leave for all new parents • Health & wellness stipend • Remote workspace, internet, and cellphone stipend • Commuter benefits for team members who report to the SF and NYC office
