About the role

The team's job is simple to say and hard to do: make money feel understandable, trustworthy, and actionable for everyday people.
Our product's job is to be a financial advisor in your pocket.

Keep design human-centered across the journey: research, flows, copy moments, edge cases. Define what "good" looks like for the customer.
Run the full design arc: pull signal from research, sketch and prototype (using whatever tools make sense, including AI-assisted ones), run tight reviews, hand off specs engineers can build from, and stay involved through launch.
Partner with Engineering, Product, and Marketing so the product feels like one brand.
Help shape how the design team operates: improve critique culture, evolve the design system, encourage reusable patterns, and ensure AI-assisted work still meets a high quality bar.
Mentor and support other designers through feedback, collaboration, systems thinking, and leading by example through your craft.
Strong data-informed product thinking: ability to leverage quantitative data, behavioral insights, experimentation results, and customer signals to inform design decisions, identify opportunities, and continuously improve the user experience.
Help drive faster and more efficient workflows through thoughtful adoption of AI-assisted tooling, rapid prototyping, and modern design practices.
You build trust across functions and communicate design decisions with clarity and conviction.
Experience owning user research and understanding when it should meaningfully influence the design process - knowing when deeper customer insight is necessary, when rapid iteration is more appropriate, and

8+ years of experience in a fast-paced D2C product design environment.
Proven ability to make strategic decisions and hold a strong POV on what the product should look and feel like-and the communication skills to get others behind it.
Experience using Figma and Jira as core tools of your workflow.
