Description
As a Senior Product Designer, Agent Experience at Vanta, you will define how AI agents help security and compliance teams accomplish meaningful work with greater clarity, control, and trust across Vanta and the surfaces where our customers already work.
The Agent Experience team builds agent-led experiences that help security and compliance teams achieve outcomes with less manual effort. The team owns the agent harness, including agents, skills, tools, and memory, as well as the patterns that help customers understand, guide, review, correct, and trust agent-generated work.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Leading end-to-end design for projects across the agent harness
- Defining how agents, skills, tools, and memory are composed, surfaced, and understood by customers
- Designing experiences that help customers delegate real security and compliance work while maintaining visibility, control, and confidence
- Creating patterns for reviewing, correcting, approving, interrupting, and recovering from agent-generated work
- Designing conversational and agent interaction models across Vanta, Slack, and other surfaces
- Establishing product patterns and principles for trustworthy agent behavior
- Partnering with Product and Engineering to evaluate when an agent is the right solution for a customer problem
- Conducting customer discovery and usability testing with security, compliance, and GRC users
- Translating customer insights, product requirements, technical constraints, and AI quality considerations into clear design direction
- Collaborating with Design Systems and product designers across Vanta to turn emerging AI patterns into reusable, high-quality experiences
- Creating design briefs, workflow models, prototypes, specifications, and other artifacts that bring clarity to complex problems
- Communicating design rationale, tradeoffs, risks, and recommendations clearly to cross-functional partners and leadership
- Contributing to design critique and helping raise the quality bar for interaction design, information architecture, UX writing, and visual craft
- Shaping how Vanta approaches responsible AI and human control across the product
- Identifying opportunities to improve how the design organization and product teams work together
To be successful in this role, you will need:
- 7+ years of product design experience, with depth in B2B SaaS, complex workflows, or other sophisticated software products
- Experience designing AI-powered products, automation, or systems where product behavior may be dynamic or uncertain
- Ability to design agent experiences beyond chat, including systems involving agents, skills, tools, memory, and multi-step workflows
- Experience designing products that require human judgment, including deciding when and how to bring a person into an automated workflow
- Experience designing across surfaces that a product team may not fully control
- Strong product thinking and discovery skills
- High craft in interaction design, information architecture, UX writing, and visual design
- Strong cross-functional collaboration skills

- Ability to move fluidly between systems-level thinking and detailed interaction design
- Clear communication skills and the ability to influence cross-functional partners without formal authority
- Curiosity, sound judgment, and comfort working in emerging product spaces
