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. 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.

Vanta is looking for an Associate Creative Director to join the Brand Creative team, and create smart, brand-building advertising that spans from one-of-a-kind video ads to high volume paid media testing. The role is perfect for a creative problem solver with a proven portfolio of exciting work, and an impeccable design and art direction skillset.

They are expected to consistently come up with a volume of ideas that are on brief, and push the creative bar. They will work closely with the copywriters, designers, marketing managers and media buyers on optimizing the campaigns’ strategy, help manage the creative team, and present to the leadership.

The right candidate brings substantial production experience and a clear creative vision. They’re confident in guiding that vision through execution, and can independently lead production partners.

What you’ll do as an Associate Creative Director at Vanta:

• GTM, lifecycle, paid social and more, and guide them through hands-on execution. This role requires both high-level creative vision and a willingness to roll up your sleeves to bring concepts to life.

• Plan and scope creative projects to work creatively around difficult business, technical, and/or resource constraints. Delegate plans and prioritize and manage timelines. Find and communicate with agencies, photographers, directors, and other vendors.

• When working as a team with multiple creatives, manage various creative disciplines (art, copy, design) across multiple projects.

• Simplify the team’s workflow and scale the work by creating templates and introducing new processes (e.g., using AI.)

• Lead by example, mentor, and coach other creatives.

• Regularly connect with the marketing and growth stakeholders to create partnerships that earn trust in the Brand Creative team’s thought leadership, and ideas.

How to be successful in this role:

• BFA in graphic design, advertising, or a similar field.

• 10+ years of experience in advertising, including a min. of 5 years in B2B, and 2 years of people management experience.

• A strong portfolio showcasing smart, brand-building ideas and executions within a variety of media: TV, digital, print, social media and experiential. Impeccable attention to detail required.

• Strong understanding of the marketing funnel, with experience developing campaigns that engage audiences at every stage.

• Production experience and ability to handle different types of production.

• Expert presentation and communication skills.

• Proactive attitude: self-starter.

What you can expect as a Vantan:

• Industry-competitive compensation

• 100% covered medical, dental, and vision benefits with dependents coverage

• 16 weeks fully-paid parental Leave for all new parents

• Health & wellness and remote workplace stipends

• Family planning benefits through Carrot Fertility

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.
