  • Bring existing (and new) product lines to mobile platforms
  • Organize and run cross-team collaboration events and workshops
  • Bring customer empathy and enthusiasm to every interaction

Here’s what we're looking for:

  • 7+ years of experience in software product design for a complex product, with at least 2 years managing product design teams
  • Obsess about the details and hold a high quality bar for visual and interaction design
  • Have shipped and iterated on multiple successful products at scale, particularly mobile, consumer experiences 
  • Are organized and consistently advocate for design methodologies and processes
  • Care deeply about user-centric design
  • Are an excellent communicator and influencer who can work well with various groups and levels of the organization
  • You thrive in a fast-paced, high-energy environment, with an entrepreneurial ownership mentality
  • Have a humble spirit
  • Have genuine empathy for small business owners and employees and a deep desire to improve their lives
  • Ideally, you have experience in the zero-to-one early phase of a product (nice to have)
  • Have FinTech experience (nice to have)
