Vanta Staff Product Designer for the Activation team at Vanta, responsible for setting the experience vision and carrying it from strategy to shipped product. Own the roadmap, lead customer discovery, and champion data-centric design practices.
Responsibilities
Set the end-to-end experience vision for Activation, from first login to to activation and turn it into a roadmap work your squad can ship cycle by cycle.
Act as a key driver of product shape and roadmap alongside your PM and EM, bringing a clear design point of view backed by customer evidence and data.
Design agent-first experiences: decide what the Vanta Agent does on its own, where people review and approve, and how the product earns trust at each step.
Create new, reusable AI patterns and extend existing ones, so other teams can build guided, agentic experiences faster and more consistently.
Define the activation outcomes your work is accountable for, partner with Data to instrument them, and run the experiments and iterations that move them.
Lead customer discovery with cross functional partners and lean engineering teams and share what you learn with leadership in a clear, compelling narrative.
Align partner teams so growth experiences feel like one product, not an org chart.
Document the product strategy for your area: write briefs, and POV docs that frame the problem, the bet, and the plan, so partners can make decisions without you in the room.
Drive large, multi-team initiatives from kickoff to launch in partnership with your Activation squad: set up and run recurring reviews and working sessions with key stakeholders, track decisions and dependencies, and keep everyone aligned as plans change.
Raise the quality bar for interaction, visual, and content craft across Self-Serve through critique, mentorship, and close partnership with engineering through launch.
Help grow the design team by mentoring other designers and helping uphold the hiring bar.
