Senior Product Manager, Design Systems

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in United States.

📋 Description

• Take ownership of the vision and roadmap for the frontend, which includes the design system and front-end platform, ensuring that platform investments align with company initiatives so that design and engineering can prioritize customer needs.

• Transform our design system from a comprehensive component library into smaller, modular building blocks featuring consistent APIs, focusing on making components first-class for AI and LLM-driven experiences.

• Lead accessibility and internationalization initiatives to achieve set milestones, including large-scale localization and compliance with accessibility standards.

• Collaborate with our AI team to empower product teams with the agentic patterns necessary for developing the next generation of Vanta experiences.

• Oversee go-to-market strategies and adoption for design-system updates, while managing ongoing quality assurance and addressing minor issues for the entire product.

• Work closely with your engineering and design leads in a triad, continuously prioritizing the most impactful work across a broad surface area.

• Anticipate the future of the design system and front-end platform over the next 12 to 18 months, considering scalability with Vanta and AI-native use.

⛳️ Requirements

• Possess 4-8+ years of product management experience, with genuine ownership of a design system, front-end platform, or developer and design experience that has supported multiple teams.

• Exhibit craftsmanship and taste at scale. You have a strong perspective on quality, can implement it across numerous teams, and gain credibility with senior design and product leaders.

• Have a builder's mindset. While not an engineer, you're hands-on: you create prototypes and demos and utilize the same component building blocks your team deploys.

• Foster horizontal collaboration and build trust. You serve every product team as an internal platform, facilitate consensus across the organization, and are a welcomed partner to other teams.

• Think systemically. You understand how components, tokens, patterns, and front-end infrastructure interconnect and influence every product surface.

• Communicate the narrative. You articulate the importance of front-end and design-system investments, translating them into clear business value for leadership and cross-functional stakeholders.

• Be open to leveraging AI to enhance skills and improve work quality, showcasing curiosity, a desire to learn, and sound judgment in applying AI responsibly to boost efficiency and impact.

• Must have authorization to work in the U.S. without requiring current or future employer sponsorship.
