Who is Credible?

We believe life’s changes create financial needs for people and that the traditional financial system often puts up unnecessary obstacles. People celebrate major milestones like going to college, getting married, and buying a home. And most of the time, these milestones come with financial implications.

At Credible, we have built a company with the mission of bringing transparency, choice, simple processes and savings to accessing credit for life’s important moments. What you see is what you get. We are committed to being upfront, honest, and clear about your options. There are no mysteries, no hidden fees, and no secret clauses.

Credible is a fast-growing Fintech company that has world class management, has raised multiple rounds of funding, is generating significant revenue and is disrupting the lending market and helping people save money and get out of debt faster.

Credible is looking for a creative, inspiring Director of Product Design to guide the design team in crafting exceptional experiences for hundreds of thousands of users. Reporting to Credible's VP of Product, you will manage and mentor our small but talented design team, play a critical role in delivering important product initiatives, help us mature our design processes, and grow our design team as the business scales.

• Oversee the design team's efforts across all product initiatives, partnering with product counterparts to ensure strong execution from concept through launch and beyond
• Drive greater visibility of the design team across the organization
• Identify appropriate methods for measuring design team effectiveness, and drive continuous improvement in team performance and design quality
• Manage our product design roadmap, project planning and task prioritization
• Recruit and onboard new designers over time as the business grows

Education and Experience:

• 8+ years of progressive experience in UI/UX design or product design, with a focus on internet and/or mobile consumer products is required
• At least 1 year of supervisory experience, and ideally several more years in a mentorship capacity
• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Graphic Design, UI/UX, Web Design, HCI or a related field preferred
• Working knowledge of design tools - Figma, Sketch, Illustrator, Photoshop, Principle, Framer, and any other tools needed to get the job done
• An inspiring portfolio that demonstrates experience managing design processes, leading design projects, crafting design systems, working through complex user flows, and shipping products that are functional, intuitive and visually compelling
• Experience applying user research methodologies and product data/analytics to inform design decisions
• Proven ability to identify and execute on opportunities for team improvement over time
• Meaningful experience working closely with product managers and engineers in a collaborative environment

 Personality and Values:

• Passion for creating exceptional user experiences that address real user needs
• Strong problem-solving skills with ability to simplify the complex
• Thrive on collaboration with other teams to accomplish shared goals
• Resourceful and mindful; you move fast but don't break things
• Possess a build-measure-learn iterative mindset
• Strong communication skills
