About This Role

As Head of Design, you'll transform sophisticated technology — from AI automation to intelligent dashboards — into intuitive experiences that busy SMB owners can immediately leverage without a learning curve. Your thoughtful interfaces won't just look beautiful. They'll empower pharmacy owners checking finances between patient consultations and auto dealers reviewing cash flow while closing sales. By joining Affiniti, you're ensuring that hardworking small business owners can focus on what matters most: serving their communities and growing their businesses.

Key Responsibilities

• Take charge of the entire design process—from ideation and blueprints to storyboarding, and finally, bringing your vision to life by collaborating with our engineering team. We believe that a design you create is only as impactful as the engineer who brings it to life. You will need to design responsive, performant web applications.
  
• Champion our users by consistently refining and enhancing our core products and experiences. Identify opportunities for improvement and deliver ongoing value to customers.
  
• Collaborate closely with Product and Engineering leads to translate company strategy into prioritized initiatives on the roadmap and identify key problems to address.
  
• Design a variety of creative assets, including websites, user interfaces, marketing, graphics, and branding materials, ensuring a cohesive and engaging visual experience across all platforms.
  
• That said, these responsibilities are just the beginning! We encourage you to be an owner and contribute wherever you observe opportunities to grow our business that align with your skills and interests.

Qualifications

• Be an expert in Figma (strong preference), Adobe XD, and other adjacent design tools.
  
• Experience at an early-stage hypergrowth startup, or a highly regarded enterprise known for its exceptional designs (e.g., Robinhood).
  
• Strive for excellence in design, approaching it with both artistry and passion.
  
• Proven experience in end-to-end product design, including both UX and UI.
  
• Experience in visual and interaction design, UX/UI, branding and identity, and typography.
  
• Experience collaborating with developers and product managers to build and launch applications or software.
  
• Exceptional visual design skills with a deep understanding of UX principles.
  
• A high ownership, do what it takes mentality, that doesn’t see a job as “just a job”
  
• Have a high-level understanding of front-end frameworks / languages: React, Next.js, TypeScript, and modern CSS (Tailwind)
  
• Experience with Node.js / Express backend development (Nice to have)
