About the Product team

The Product team listens to our customers’ needs and translates those insights into a clear product vision. The team works closely with design, engineering, and analytics to build scalable financial products that empower people to manage their money with confidence. We rely on empathy, curiosity, and business sense to prioritize features and improve experiences. Our role is to lead with clarity, support cross-functional execution, and champion the user in every decision.

The role

We’re looking for a Product Designer to join us in supporting our post-purchase experience and international expansion. Design serves a vital role at AFFIRM: from building narratives through data to creating products that help people make important financial decisions. As a designer, you are responsible for crafting experiences that build trust, confidence and deliver on our principles of honest, transparent financial products.

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. We’re also growing globally, reaching new customers in new geographies every day.

This Product Designer will help shape our post-purchase experiences, as well as building the next new geographies that AFFIRM will expand into. You can demonstrate a breadth of design experience leveraging your ability to create delightful experiences that simplify our customers’ payment management experience through AFFIRM as well as contributing to our wider international expansion strategy. You’ll partner well with design leadership, design research, and content design. You’ll work end-to-end, from contributing towards Design and Product vision to delivering class leading design. You are able to work closely with Product and Engineering to tailor unique customer experiences for our merchants & consumers while ensuring cohesion to the core AFFIRM experience - championing our customers needs no matter where their journey starts.

What You’ll Do

• Lead end-to-end design for key initiatives within our UK and international experiences, as well as our post purchase experiences globally, across App and Web. You’ll be driving from discovery through to delivery and iteration—achieving meaningful customer and business outcomes.

• Own complex flows and ambiguous problem spaces, defining clear problem statements, success metrics, and design direction.

• Partner closely with product, engineering, and data to make informed trade-offs and deliver intuitive, high-quality experiences.

• Balance speed and quality, making pragmatic decisions while contributing to a cohesive product experience.

• Use research, data, and experimentation to inform decisions and continuously improve outcomes.

• Contribute to design systems and patterns, strengthening consistency and scalability across your area.

• Facilitate alignment and decision-making, ensuring teams move forward with clarity.

• Support and mentor other designers, helping raise the quality of work across the team.

What we look for

• Strong Craft & Execution: You consistently deliver polished, thoughtful interaction and visual design with high attention to detail.

• Product Thinking: You balance user needs, business goals, and technical constraints to make sound design decisions and improve end-to-end experiences.

• Ownership & Initiative: You take ownership of ambiguous problems and drive work forward with minimal oversight.

• Cross-functional Collaboration: You build strong partnerships, communicate clearly, and help teams align on decisions and trade-offs.

• Data-Informed Decision Making: You use research, experimentation, and analytics to guide your work and iterate toward better outcomes.

• Team-Level Influence: You’re a trusted design partner within your area, contributing to direction and improving how the team works.

• Growth & Adaptability: You seek feedback, continuously improve your craft, and leverage modern tools—including AI—to accelerate your workflow.

• Tools & Experience: Proficiency with modern design and collaboration tools (Figma, G Suite, Notion, etc.).

• 5+ years of product design experience or equivalent practical experience.

Why You’ll Love Working Here

• You’ll design financial products that genuinely help people.

• You’ll work on high-impact experiences used by millions of customers.

• You’ll join a team that values craft, collaboration, and thoughtful iteration.
