We’re at a critical inflection point in Affirm’s journey, with millions of people engaging with our products and new opportunities to expand how they use Affirm every day. As a Staff Product Designer, you’ll join a deeply experienced and committed team to shape these end-to-end journeys, raise the bar for clarity, quality, and delight, and redefine how people interact with their money.

What You’ll Do

• Own and drive design initiatives for embedded financial experiences, delivering high-impact, customer-centric solutions that align with business objectives.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with product, engineering, data science, marketing, and external partners to drive innovation and deliver seamless, intuitive experiences.
• Embrace agility—iterating quickly, adapting to change, and making data-driven decisions while maintaining a strong vision for the future.
• Shape frameworks and ways of working that empower teams to move faster and make great decisions.
• Balance shipping now with scaling for the future, ensuring coherence across platforms.
• Push the envelope—challenge the status quo, think outside the box, and take calculated risks to drive meaningful innovation in financial products.
• Bring exceptional visual and interaction design skills to craft delightful, polished experiences that build trust and confidence.
• Champion a test-and-learn mindset, leveraging experimentation, research, and analytics to continuously refine and optimize user experiences.

What We Look For

• Exceptional Craft & Visual Skills: You have a keen eye for detail, design systems, and interaction patterns that elevate user experiences.
• Strong Product Sense: You deeply understand user needs, business goals, and technical constraints—and can balance them effectively in your design decisions.
• Strategic Influencer: You’ve shaped direction across multiple product areas and can partner with senior leaders to align on big bets.
• Systems Thinker: You create frameworks, systems, and ways of working that scale design impact across teams.
• Mentor & Multiplier: You coach senior designers, foster leadership skills, and raise the design bar across the org.
• Proactive & Adaptable: You thrive in fast-paced, evolving environments and take initiative to drive progress.
• Data-Informed & Risk-Taking: You use data to guide your thinking but aren’t afraid to challenge assumptions and explore bold ideas.
• Collaborative & Humble: You value diverse perspectives, work well with cross-functional partners, and are open to feedback to make the best decisions for our users.
• Passion for Innovation: You’re excited about the challenge of designing financial products that improve people’s lives and want to push the industry forward.
• Proficiency with modern design and collaboration tools (Figma, Adobe Creative Suite, G Suite, Notion).
• This position requires either equivalent practical experience or a Bachelor’s degree in a related field and 7+ years of product design experience.
