The Job

As a Staff Product Designer, it will be your responsibility to imagine the future of personal finance, drive new initiatives, set a high standard for excellence, and collaborate with a multi-disciplinary set of stakeholders. You will communicate, evolve, and execute a strong product design standard that showcases SoFi as a leader in financial innovation.

In addition, you'll coordinate with designers from other product areas to align the larger SoFi ecosystem, contributing to short and long-term strategic direction, creating and maintaining high visual standards, and maintaining a strong focus on user needs.

• Develop user-centered design solutions based on research, member insights, and industry best practices.
• Challenge the status quo, push innovation, and inspire people toward a unified outcome.
• Work across the entire product life cycle and make an impact at different stages of the product: building vision & strategy, ensuring all the loose ends are tied up when executing, and making sure everything is properly specified for engineering to build.
• Collaborate closely with Research, Product Management, and Engineering partners to iterate and drive programs forward.
• Collaborate with product designers working on other projects to drive alignment and consistency across the entire user experience.
• Create system maps, user flows, prototypes, and page-level specs to communicate design decisions to a variety of stakeholders.
• Collaborate with our design systems teams to leverage and improve templates and components.
• Prototype user experiences to investigate with stakeholders and end-users and to drive internal alignment.
• Contribute toward growing and scaling design best practices across the broader company and within the Design org.
• Help mentor more junior designers on the team.
  
  
  

Qualifications

• 7+ yrs experience of experience working in product design/UX roles.
• Experience collaborating with cross-functional partners to define product strategy.
• A strong understanding of when and how to use metrics to inform design and measure success.
• Experience in using design thinking tools like design sprints to bring together stakeholders and align points of view based on business and user needs.
• Strong expertise in standard design tools (i.e., Figma, Adobe Creative Suite).
• Expertise in mobile and web UX best practices across iOS, Android, and responsive web.
• Strong collaboration skills across cross-functional teams including Research, Product Management, Engineering, and Marketing.
• Ability to translate user research, user needs, and product data to make informed design solutions.
• Experience presenting work and rationale to senior leadership and advocating for user needs in the context of business and technology drivers.
• Experience setting and managing design priorities through planning and execution.
• Passion for team building and development of the broader design team culture.
