About Vanta

At Vanta, our mission is to help businesses earn and prove trust. We believe that security should be monitored and verified continuously, empowering companies to practice better security and prove it with ease. Vanta has a kind and talented team, where many have found success without prior security experience.

We’re a dynamic company looking to break the mold—pushing our advertising beyond the conventional boundaries of typical SaaS and B2B campaigns.

We’re looking for a Brand Designer to join the Brand Creative team and help shape how Vanta expresses itself across digital, print, campaigns, and key brand moments. This role is for a designer with strong fundamentals and attention to detail—someone who cares about typography, composition, and the small decisions that elevate the whole. You understand what makes work feel premium and lasting, while bringing fresh ideas to the table. You stay attuned to cultural shifts and trends, AI applications, and are fluent in the visual language of social media.

You’ll report to the Creative Director, and work with designers, copywriters, and cross-functional partners to translate strategy into visual expression. The ideal candidate is curious, meticulous, and invested in how a brand evolves across touchpoints.

What you’ll do as a Brand Designer at Vanta:

• Design high-quality brand assets across digital, web, campaigns, print. Examples include, but are not limited to: visual explorations for campaigns and social assets, presentation decks, editorial, reports, sales collateral, and more.
• Contribute to the evolution and maintenance of Vanta’s brand identity system.
• Translate creative briefs into visual solutions that align with brand standards.
• Develop layouts, visual systems, and scalable templates that improve efficiency and consistency.
• Collaborate with other creatives and cross-functional partners to bring work to life.
• Apply strong typographic and compositional thinking to projects.
• Select and thoughtfully apply photography, illustration, and graphic elements that reinforce brand storytelling.
• Prepare production-ready files and ensure quality across deliverables.
• Explore new tools—including AI—to improve craft and speed.

How to be successful in this role:

• BFA in graphic design or a related field.
• 5+ years of experience in brand design, ideally within an in-house team or agency environment.
• A portfolio demonstrating strong fundamentals in typography, layout, and visual systems.
• Experience working within established brand guidelines and contributing to their evolution.
• A high bar for visual craft and strong attention to detail.
• Proficiency in Figma and Adobe Creative Suite.
• Collaborative mindset and comfort working cross-functionally.
• Open to using AI to amplify their skills and strengthen their work - demonstrating curiosity, a willingness to learn, and sound judgment in applying AI responsibly to improve efficiency and impact.

Bonus points:

• Familiarity with AI design tools or generative workflows.
• Motion literacy (even if not a motion designer).

• Industry-competitive compensation
• 100% covered medical, dental, and vision benefits with dependents coverage
