Staff Content 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, empowering companies to practice better security and prove it with ease. Vanta has a kind and talented team; while some have prior security experience, many have been successful at Vanta without it.

The Experience Design Organization is hiring our first Staff Content Designer to drive more impact on customer centricity insights as we scale the platform. This culture-defining role is for someone eager to shape how we keep our customer as the driving force in our product development—not just through high-impact work, but by enabling teams across the company to build deeper empathy and insight. This role is crucial in helping continue to chart our path on achieving our mission.

This role will focus on both improving our content design practices across the organization, as well as driving content design projects to deliver strategic insights. You will work with our product managers, operations team, CSMs, and AMs to define the right program to deliver insights for EPD that equips the organization to engage with customers and make insight-informed decisions on the product offering. You’ll develop scalable systems, coaching programs, and rituals that embed content design into our everyday work. You will also lead strategic initiatives that inform how our AI and Self Serve products shape the platform. And, you will help us scale our nascent content design capabilities, by advising on how to grow the team and delegate work across the organization.

You have a proven track record of shaping exceptional B2B SaaS experiences, especially in complex or technical domains. You thrive in ambiguity, partner seamlessly with Design, Product, and Engineering, and translate problems into actionable direction. Just as importantly, you’re energized by enabling others—whether that’s mentoring teammates, creating tools and processes, or cultivating curiosity and customer focus across the org. Experience in GRC or security is a plus but not required; a strong sense of ownership, empathy, and systems thinking is what we value most.
