Job description

The Opportunity

We're looking for a Staff Product Designer to take ownership of Facet's internal products. Facet relies on dedicated teams across financial planning, sales, support, and investment operations to support tens of thousands of members nationwide. Our bespoke software is essential to their daily workflows. This is a crucial role for a designer who finds deep satisfaction in untangling complex workflows, designing for dense information architecture, and advocating for internal users.

Stepping into an active and highly energized space, your first mandate is to take over and lead UX research for our internal tools. From there, the goal is to architect scalable, intuitive mental models and interfaces that optimize complex daily tasks. By partnering closely with Product Management and Engineering, this role transforms legacy tools into streamlined workspaces. Ultimately, this work elevates our staff's ability to operate efficiently without sacrificing the top-tier service our members expect. While the immediate priority is redesigning the core platform to increase financial planner capacity, reduce onboarding friction, and drive business unit economics, the scope of this opportunity also extends to critical tools used across our entire internal ecosystem.

Responsibilities

• Own the complete design process for Facet's internal, web-based software tools from problem framing and information architecture through UI design, prototyping, and shipping.
• Translate core planning and operational mental models into clear, intuitive experiences and dense UI patterns that enable Facet's unified philosophy to be executed consistently.
• Untangle legacy information architecture across multiple internal surfaces by consolidating fragmented tools and duplicate actions into logical, efficient workflows.
• Design comprehensive workflow solutions for our planners and sales teams, optimizing how they schedule meetings, capture notes, answer messages, and manage daily tasks.
• Conduct ongoing research with Facet's internal teams to validate interaction patterns, surface unmet workflow needs, and advocate for power users who spend the majority of their day in these tools.
• Design interfaces that clearly communicate exactly what the tools are doing, giving our teams the confidence to rely on automations rather than falling back on manual habits.
• Make pragmatic design decisions, knowing when to go deep on UX craft and when to ship scrappy, functional solutions that move operational efficiency forward toward business targets.

• Online portfolio required for consideration and must showcase strong information architecture, systems thinking, and complex workflow design instead of pure consumer visual polish.
• 7+ years of product design experience with a track record of shipping software for data intensive workflows, internal tools, or specialized professional platforms; fintech experience a plus.
• Comfortable leading user research, driving discovery, mapping user journeys, prototyping, high fidelity designs and partnering with engineering to see designs through production.
• Ability to showcase how you actively integrate AI capabilities to increase efficiency for you as a designer and for the end user of your solutions.
• Must be a systems thinker: naturally looks for structural patterns, reusable components, and mental models rather than isolated singular fixes and can showcase how you've solved systemic problems.
• No-ego teammate who shares work early, collaborates with your cross-functional peers to find the best solutions, navigates technical constraints confidently, and knows exactly how to align stakeholders around UC decisions.
• Highly proficient in Figma and comfortable working within, maintaining, and extending design systems.
• Prefer experience designing for financial planning, wealth management, or investing.

• Competitive Compensation: $175,000 - $200,000 base salary + bonus
• Ownership: Equity in a rapidly growing company on the path to becoming the "Next Great Financial Services Company".
• Flexibility: Remote-first culture—work from anywhere in the U.S..
• Time Off: Flexible Paid Time Off (PTO).
• Comprehensive Benefits and Perks: Medical, dental, vision, 401(k) match, disability, paid parental leave, wellness reimbursement, and education reimbursement programs.
