Senior Brand Designer, Events at 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. We're looking for a Senior Brand Designer for Events to join the Brand Creative team and bring Vanta’s identity to life across live experiences, ranging from large industry conferences and proprietary events like VantaCon, to international or smaller activations.

This role is ideal for a systems-minded designer with a passion for extending brand identity into the physical world. You’ll concept and design event identities, stage graphics, signage, large and small tradeshow booths, and environmental touchpoints that make Vanta’s presence memorable and cohesive. You’ll collaborate closely with the Creative Director, Events team, and external partners to deliver work that feels premium and true to Vanta’s brand.

The right candidate has strong foundations in brand design and visual storytelling, and is curious about the intersection of design and experience. You understand how to translate a visual system across large-scale environments, and you’re comfortable owning the collaboration with vendors to ensure that the final execution looks as good in person as it does in Figma.
