We are looking for an experienced Senior Product Designer to shape intuitive, trustworthy, and high-quality digital experiences within a fast-growing financial technology environment. In this role, you will take ownership of complex financial workflows, transforming dense information and sophisticated processes into simple, accessible, and user-friendly products. From initial discovery and concept development to prototyping and final delivery, you will have a direct impact on how customers access, understand, and manage their capital. Working closely with product managers, engineers, and multidisciplinary design specialists, you will help define product experiences that balance customer needs, business objectives, and technical requirements. You will also contribute to the evolution of a shared design system while promoting exceptional visual and interaction standards. This is an opportunity to combine strategic product thinking, creative problem-solving, and hands-on execution within a collaborative, fully remote European team.
Accountabilities:
- Take ownership of complex product design challenges from initial discovery and problem definition through prototyping, validation, and final implementation.
- Design intuitive, scalable, and visually polished digital experiences that simplify complex financial workflows and information-rich interfaces.
- Translate customer needs, business objectives, and technical constraints into effective product solutions that build trust and improve the overall user experience.
- Create early-stage concepts, wireframes, and interactive prototypes to explore design directions, validate assumptions, and gather feedback before development.
- Leverage AI-powered tools and coding capabilities to accelerate experimentation, prototyping, and the exploration of innovative product solutions.
- Collaborate closely with product managers, engineers, and other stakeholders to ensure design decisions align with product strategy and technical feasibility.
- Work alongside engineering teams throughout implementation to ensure the final product accurately reflects the intended design and quality standards.
- Contribute to the development, maintenance, and continuous improvement of the shared design system in collaboration with dedicated design system specialists.
- Maintain exceptional standards across visual design, interaction patterns, accessibility, micro-interactions, and overall product usability.
- Participate in regular design critiques, presenting your work, explaining design decisions, and providing constructive feedback to help elevate the quality of the wider design team.
- Use customer research, product analytics, and qualitative and quantitative evidence to inform design decisions and continuously improve product experiences.
- Identify opportunities to simplify complex processes, reduce friction, and create more transparent and trustworthy financial interactions.
- Balance speed and execution quality by shipping early, learning from real-world usage, and iterating based on customer feedback and measurable outcomes.
- Significant experience designing and delivering high-quality digital products, ideally within fintech, banking, lending, payments, or other complex, data-intensive industries.
- A strong portfolio demonstrating exceptional product thinking, visual design, interaction design, and the ability to communicate the rationale behind design decisions.
- Proven experience managing end-to-end product design processes, from problem discovery and research through prototyping, delivery, and continuous improvement.
- Strong understanding of user-centered design principles and the ability to translate complex information into clear, intuitive, and scalable experiences.
- Excellent visual and interaction design skills, with a strong attention to detail and a commitment to delivering polished, consistent products.
- Ability to use qualitative and quantitative data, customer insights, and product evidence alongside sound product intuition to guide design decisions.
- Strong understanding of how product design contributes to customer satisfaction, business performance, and measurable product outcomes.
- Experience balancing customer expectations, commercial objectives, and engineering constraints when making design decisions.
- Confidence working independently, taking ownership of projects, defining problems, and moving initiatives forward without relying on fully defined requirements.
- Excellent communication and storytelling skills, with the ability to present design concepts, explain decisions, and collaborate effectively with multidisciplinary teams.
- Openness to giving and receiving constructive feedback, participating in design critiques, and continuously improving your craft.
- Practical familiarity with AI tools and their application in design exploration, prototyping, and workflow optimization.
- Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative, and remote-first working environment.
- Experience designing financial products involving lending, underwriting, credit, risk management, payments, or capital management.
- Strong knowledge of accessibility standards and inclusive design practices.
- Previous experience designing AI-powered products or integrating AI capabilities into digital experiences.
- Experience contributing to, maintaining, or evolving scalable design systems.
- Previous experience working in high-growth startup environments where adaptability, ownership, and rapid execution are essential.
- Fully remote work: Work remotely from anywhere in Europe, with flexibility and autonomy over your working environment.
- Generous paid time off: Enjoy 25 days of annual leave in addition to local public holidays.
- Equity participation: Benefit from an equity package that gives you an ownership stake in the business and the opportunity to share in its growth.
- Flexible international working: Work abroad for up to 60 days per year, allowing you to combine professional responsibilities with international travel.
- Generous parental leave: Access supportive parental leave policies for both primary and secondary caregivers.
- Collaborative design environment: Join a multidisciplinary team of approximately 15 designers across Product, Brand, Motion, and Design Systems.
- Professional development: Work alongside experienced design professionals, participate in regular critiques, and continuously develop your product design and technical skills.
