Senior Brand Web Designer

About Vanta

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. Vanta has a kind and talented team, and while some have prior security experience, many have been successful at Vanta without it.

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

The Role of a Senior Brand Web Designer at Vanta

We’re looking for a Senior Brand Web Designer to help shape how Vanta shows up across our most important digital touchpoint: vanta.com. This role is ideal for a designer who’s an expert at websites, has a strong editorial sensibility, and enjoys expressing brand storytelling through layout, typography, data visualization, illustration, and imagery.

You will translate our brand identity into beautifully crafted digital experiences that communicate Vanta’s purpose, product, and point of view. You’ll report to our Web Design Lead, and work closely with developers, copywriters, marketers, and cross-functional creative partners to elevate our website.

This is not a product design role. This is a brand-forward visual design role focused on building delightful marketing web experiences.

What You'll Do as a Senior Brand Web Designer at Vanta

• Contribute to Vanta’s web design system, ensuring visual consistency and sustainable workflows.
• Collaborate closely with developers, marketers, and content stakeholders to translate business goals into digital experiences.
• Experiment with new visual approaches—including AI prototyping tools—to push the creative bar higher.
• Define and uphold high standards for craft, typography, layout, and digital design best practices across the web.
• Balance brand expression with UX best practices and business goals.

How to Be Successful in This Role

• BFA in graphic design or a similar field.

• A portfolio showcasing brand storytelling through digital experiences, especially marketing websites.

• Strong ability to work with (and evolve) brand systems—type, color, components, grids—and extend them into new digital expressions.
• Excellent understanding of responsive design, UX principles for marketing sites, and emerging trends in digital and interactive design.
• Advanced proficiency in Figma; ability to create scalable, organized design files and systems.
• Experience working with developers and familiarity with web implementation constraints.
• Working knowledge of AI ideation or prototyping tools.
• Exceptional attention to detail and a keen eye.

About Vanta (Company Context)

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.
