About the role
- We're looking for a Senior Product Designer to join Truework and help shape the end-to-end experiences that power income verification for mortgages and other lending use cases.
Responsibilities
- Own design for key Truework product areas across borrower, lender, and internal operational experiences (as applicable), from discovery through launch and iteration.
- Partner with Product and Engineering to define problems, shape roadmaps, and deliver high-quality solutions that align user needs with business outcomes.
- Simplify complex workflows (verification requests, document collection, consent/authorization, status visibility, exception handling) into clear, user-friendly experiences.
- Use AI-assisted design and development tools to rapidly prototype, validate, and-when appropriate-implement lightweight UI changes in code to improve iteration speed and overall product quality.
- Design for trust and clarity in a sensitive financial domain-prioritizing transparency, error prevention, accessibility, and confidence-building UI patterns.
- Create thoughtful interaction and visual design across responsive web and/or platform surfaces, producing clear specs and assets for engineering.
- Facilitate alignment with workshops, design reviews, and strong storytelling-helping teams move from ambiguity to decisions.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with partners such as Customer Success, Sales, Compliance/Legal, Data, and Operations to ensure designs work in the real world.
- Contribute to design systems and standards to improve consistency, speed, and quality across Truework.
- you'll drive discovery through execution, bring strong craft, and help the team make great decisions through clear thinking and excellent communication.
Requirements
- You're comfortable working in complex domains where edge cases matter, and you can distill that complexity into simple, usable flows.
- You have strong product instincts-you know how to balance user needs, business goals, technical constraints, and timeline realities.
- You have 5-8+ years of product design experience (or equivalent), with a strong track record of shipping high-quality work.
- Your portfolio demonstrates end-to-end thinking: problem framing, exploration, rationale, collaboration, iteration, and measurable impact.
- You're experienced in collaborative, cross-functional environments, influencing decisions through clarity rather than authority.
- You can independently plan and execute lightweight research (interviews, usability testing, concept validation) and partner effectively with researchers when available.
- You sweat the details: interaction patterns, content clarity, information hierarchy, and accessibility best practices.
- An A-player mindset with a strong bias for action: you raise the bar, move with urgency, stay resilient through ambiguity, and take ownership to deliver meaningful outcomes.
