Job description

Job Description

A rapidly growing global fintech company is transforming how people send money across borders, making financial services more accessible to underserved communities around the world. Its digital platform connects families and communities across more than 70 markets, helping customers move money through faster, more accessible mobile-first financial experiences. Backed by leading venture investors and a team of more than 250 employees across 50 nationalities, the company is expanding its product offering to include new financial services, cards, savings, and payments capabilities.

As a Staff Product Designer, you’ll help define the visual identity and product experience of a global consumer fintech platform. You’ll own the evolution of the brand, expand the design system into scalable infrastructure, and lead new product offerings from early concepts through launch. Working across Product, Engineering, Growth, Compliance, and Go-to-Market, you’ll have significant influence over product direction and the quality of experiences delivered across mobile, web, and internal tools.

This is an opportunity for a highly experienced designer who wants to shape both the products and the systems behind them. You’ll work on ambiguous, high-impact challenges involving new markets, financial products, and evolving regulatory requirements, with the freedom to prototype quickly, test ideas, and bring new experiences to customers in weeks rather than quarters. You’ll also establish the design quality bar for a growing team, using strong craft, systems thinking, and AI-powered workflows to accelerate execution.

The ideal candidate brings a portfolio demonstrating both exceptional visual design and end-to-end consumer product development. You’ll be comfortable operating as the most senior designer in the room, influencing roadmaps through research, prototypes, and shipped work rather than authority. This is a remote opportunity with the ability to work across a globally distributed organization, with locations including New York and London.

• Ability to translate complex customer needs and business challenges into intuitive, polished product experiences
• Strong systems thinking, with an understanding of how individual screens connect to broader workflows and product architecture
• Experience collaborating closely with Product, Engineering, Growth, and other cross-functional stakeholders
• Strong ownership and ability to independently drive ambiguous projects from concept through execution
• Experience influencing product roadmaps and decisions through research, prototypes, and tangible deliverables
• Excellent attention to detail, with the judgment to balance visual polish against speed and practical constraints
• Strong customer empathy and a commitment to designing around real user needs
• Comfort operating in a fast-paced environment with changing priorities and high expectations for execution

Desired Skills & Experience

• Experience in fintech, payments, remittances, marketplaces, or other high-trust consumer product categories
• Experience designing products for international markets or diverse customer populations
• Familiarity with financial services and the challenges of designing for regulated environments
• Experience evolving a consumer brand while maintaining customer trust and usability
• Experience designing motion, micro-interactions, and content patterns across mobile and web

• Ability to deliver front-end prototypes or implementation-ready work that closely reflects the intended design
• Experience launching new product categories or building products from the ground up
• Experience mentoring designers and raising craft standards across a growing team

What You Will Be Doing Daily Responsibilities

• Own the expansion of the design system, including design tokens, motion, content patterns, reusable components, and documentation
• Lead new product offerings from early hypotheses through design, launch, and measurement of customer and business impact
• Establish and maintain high standards for visual quality, interaction design, and overall product craft
• Collaborate with Product, Engineering, Growth, Compliance, and Go-to-Market teams to deliver cohesive customer experiences
• Translate ambiguous business challenges, new market opportunities, and regulatory constraints into practical product solutionsUse research, prototypes, and customer insights to inform product strategy and roadmap decisions
