About the role
- Why Kikoff: This is a consumer fintech startup, and you will be working with serial entrepreneurs who have built strong consumer brands and innovative products.
- You understand conversion funnels, retention curves, and the revenue model well enough to reason about tradeoffs.
Responsibilities
- Own your product area like a business owner.
- Track the key metrics that matter for your surface - conversion, engagement, retention, revenue impact - and treat them as your own scorecard, not just your PM's.
- Proactively surface product gaps and opportunities before they're on the roadmap, and come with a POV on what to build next and why.
- Own design end-to-end for your product area - from problem framing and early exploration through pixel-perfect delivery - in close partnership with Product, Engineering, Data, and Marketing.
- Regularly challenge PRDs before executing: reframe problems, propose alternative solution directions, and push back when the initial framing isn't right. Bring your own data, user insight, or competitive context when you do - not just instinct.
- Build interactive prototypes, functional demos, and testable mockups fast - using tools like Claude Code, Cursor, Codex - so decisions get made on real artifacts instead of static mocks.
- Design highly polished, visually compelling interfaces with a strong point of view on typography, color, layout, visual hierarchy, and motion - across mobile and responsive web.
- Drive design system evolution for your surface area - contributing new patterns, documenting usage, and coordinating with engineering to validate before shipping.
- Lead and participate in design critiques, giving specific, principled feedback tied to design principles and user outcomes.
- With record revenue growth in 2025 and a unicorn valuation, we've built a suite of products that help millions of people build credit, access liquidity, and save money.
Requirements
- You are not just a strong designer.
- You are a mini-CEO for your product area.
- A track record of finding problems before they're assigned.
- Comfort operating with autonomy in a fast-moving startup environment - you define the process, not wait for it.
- A strong eye for typography, color, layout, and motion, with the ability to articulate why each decision serves the user and the product.
- Experience designing consumer-facing mobile and web products
- comfort moving fluidly across fidelity levels without losing quality at any stage.
- Proficiency in Figma
Compensation
- $190,000 - $223,000 USD
Benefits
- Bonus points if the portfolio shows how your design work moved a metric or changed a product strategy.
