Responsibilities

• Set and drive the design vision
• Lead and elevate the design community
• Execute with craft and drive outcomes

Requirements

• 10+ years of product design experience, with a portfolio demonstrating shipped, customer-facing work on consumer mobile products at scale.
• Deep expertise in mobile consumer product design — particularly complex, multi-step transactional flows where navigation clarity, interaction quality, and trust are central to the experience.
• Demonstrated success in owning end-to-end experiences: setting design vision for an entire product journey, not just individual features or screens.
• A strong, developed point of view on navigation patterns, information architecture, and interaction design for native mobile — you can articulate why your choices work and what trade-offs you made.
• Experience providing design leadership across multiple squads or product areas, influencing without authority and embedding design thinking into how decisions get made across cross-functional teams.
• The autonomy and ingenuity to organize, prioritize, and execute plans for complex initiatives over multiple quarters with full independence — earning trust through consistent, high-impact delivery.
• Expert-level Figma skills and fluency with complex prototyping, interaction design, and design system contribution.
• Excellent communication skills. You can present your work, articulate design rationale, and drive alignment and decision making across Product, Engineering, Research, and senior leadership.
• Background designing for global audiences, including localization, accessibility, and RTL/LTR considerations across diverse markets.
• Demonstrated fluency with AI as a design tool. You use it actively to accelerate discovery, synthesis, and prototyping, and you can critically evaluate new capabilities as they emerge. You have a hands-on point of view on where AI creates step-change improvements in the customer experience and how it can scale design quality and access across an organization.
• Experience in fintech, payments, remittance, or other high-trust consumer financial products where the interaction design carries significant emotional and functional weight.
