Senior Product Designer

The Role

This role will execute design across a multi-phase digital platform, translating complex B2B2C financial concepts into intuitive, confidence-building experiences. You will work hands-on within a simultaneous design-and-build model alongside Product and Engineering, using generative AI tools and strong prompt-writing skills to rapidly produce interactive prototypes under the direction of the Design Director. The role also involves presenting work regularly to a senior stakeholder group and incorporating feedback with speed and precision.

The Requirements

• Rapidly produce high-fidelity screens, flows, and interactive prototypes using whatever tools get you there fastest — Figma, generative AI, code-based prototyping, or all of the above. We care about the quality and speed of your output, not your tool allegiance. Strong prompt-writing skills and fluency with AI-assisted design workflows are expected.

• Translate complex financial and regulatory concepts into clear interaction models, information architecture, and visual design that prioritize emotional clarity over informational density.

• Present design work to senior stakeholders in structured critique sessions; articulate design rationale, receive directional feedback, and turn critique into refined execution within short feedback loops.

• Take ownership of existing designs and core flows created by external UX partners; assess, refine, and ensure successful internal implementation aligned to the evolving product direction.

• Produce build-ready design specifications, interactive prototypes, and implementation guidance using the current toolchain (Figma, Cursor, GitHub, Storybook).

• Contribute to building and maintaining a design system grounded in existing visual direction, ensuring consistency and scalability across the product.

• Collaborate directly with front-end engineering to clarify design intent, unblock delivery, and ensure fidelity between design specifications and implemented experience.

• Drive experience quality across responsiveness, cross-browser compatibility, and multi-device optimization.

• Embed accessibility practices into design and delivery, partnering with developers to ensure compliant implementation.

• Participate in pragmatic testing and feedback loops with internal stakeholders; use insights to iterate on high-impact decision points, moments of complexity, and trust-critical interactions.

The Requirements

• 8+ years of product design experience delivering enterprise or consumer-facing web applications, with a track record of high-volume, high-quality output; experience in fintech, insurance, or regulated domains strongly preferred.

• Demonstrated ability to take strategic direction and translate it into polished, build-ready design artifacts at speed. Portfolio should show execution depth — not just strategy decks, but shipped screens, production flows, and interactive prototypes.

• Expert proficiency in Figma — wireframes, high-fidelity comps, interactive prototypes, design specifications, and design system contribution.

• Demonstrated ability to use generative AI tools (Claude, Cursor, Figma Make or similar) and prompt-writing techniques to produce interactive, functional prototypes from design direction — not just static mockups. This is a core skill, not a nice-to-have.

• Ability to translate complex systems and domain-specific concepts (financial products, regulatory constraints) into human-centered experiences without requiring extensive hand-holding on the subject matter.

• Experience partnering effectively with Product and Engineering in fast-moving, iterative environments where design and build happen simultaneously.

• Practical knowledge of accessibility standards (e.g., WCAG) and how to incorporate them into design deliverables and acceptance criteria.

• Confident presenter able to show work to senior, critical stakeholders, receive strong directional feedback, and iterate without losing momentum or conviction.

• Comfortable operating in ambiguity within matrixed, cross-functional teams; experience navigating evolving product direction and stakeholder alignment.

Nice to Have

• Domain knowledge in retirement planning, wealth management, annuities, or insurance products.

• Experience designing for agentic, AI-native product patterns — where the interface adapts, reasons, and responds to user input in real time rather than following a fixed script.

• Working knowledge of front-end technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React) sufficient to evaluate and refine AI-generated prototype output.

• Experience working with external design vendors and translating third-party outputs into internal standards and build-ready assets.

• Strong understanding of responsive design with the ability to anticipate and resolve experience quality issues before they reach development.
