At Vanta, our mission is to secure the internet and protect consumer data. We believe that security should be monitored and verified continuously, and we empower companies to practice better security and prove it with ease.
In addition to our industry-leading platform, Vanta has differentiated ourselves in the market with a unique and beloved brand identity: from our llama mascot, ilma, to our tongue-in-cheek “Compliance that doesn’t SOC 2 much” billboards. We’re now looking for a Creative Director to elevate Vanta’s brand to the next level, scale our marketing efforts across new channels, and evolve our identity to meet the needs of Vanta’s ever growing customer personas.
In this role, you will oversee both our internal team of Art Directors and Designers and our external network of agencies and freelancers to produce creative that delights our customers, drives demand, and reflects Vanta’s unique brand personality as trusted experts - with a wink.
What you’ll do as Vanta’s Creative Director:
At Vanta, we are committed to hiring diverse talent of different backgrounds and as such, it is important to us to provide an inclusive work environment for all. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, gender identity, age, religion, sexual orientation, veteran or disability status, or any other protected class. As an equal opportunity employer, we encourage and welcome people of all backgrounds to apply.
About Vanta
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.
