Descrizione del lavoro

At Mollie, we’ve spent 20 years challenging the status quo of finance. We believe business owners deserve better than bureaucracy, broken user journeys, and clunky interfaces that waste time and money. That’s why we started challenging the traditional banks and built a platform that makes payments and money management effortless for more than 250,000 businesses across Europe—from startups to enterprises.

But this is just the beginning because Mollie is entering an area with a flow of new exciting products.

Why this role matters

Design has always been at the heart of Mollie. It’s not the last layer of polish—it’s the strategy, the differentiation, and often the reason customers fall in love with us. As we expand into new markets and launch entirely new products, design becomes our sharpest competitive edge.

We’re looking for a Head of Product Design who can elevate Mollie’s design discipline to new heights. Someone who can set the vision for what exceptional product design looks like at scale, while still getting hands‑on with the craft when it matters. We want to push the bar higher than our competitors even think possible. Create something that inspires others.

This is a role for a maker, not a caretaker.

What you’ll do

• Shape the design vision for all of Mollie: Dashboard, App, Onboarding, Checkout, and future products that don’t exist yet.
• Elevate our design system—scalable across every product while distinctively Mollie.
• Build and lead a world‑class design team that combines rigor with boldness, setting a new standard for financial product design in Europe.
• Work shoulder‑to‑shoulder with product and engineering, ensuring design drives strategy instead of following it.
• Stay close to the craft: shipping concepts, refining flows, and sweating the details—because great design starts with designers who still design.
• Champion the pirate‑flag mentality: shipping fast, learning fast, and never settling for mediocrity.
• Work directly with our Founder and CPO, bringing a strong design perspective to Mollie’s strategy.

What you’ll bring

• Enough years of product design experience shipping products that scaled and mattered.
• Enough years leading design teams with stories of growing talent and shaping culture.
• A strong voice and point of view—you know when “good” isn’t good enough, and you can rally others to the cause.
• A passion for the craft that keeps you curious, sketching, prototyping, and solving problems yourself.
• A track record of creating and scaling design systems that work across multiple products.
• Experience in environments where design was central to the business—and helped win.
