As a team, we come to work every day looking to build digital experiences that are authentic and bold.
What we’re looking for:
Hands on design leader who will primarily focus on the strategic partnership and creation of products for our auto finance products.

You will work in close partnership with executives in Design, Product, Tech, Marketing, Operations, and Analytics to achieve high-value results that position design effectively to pursue and deliver innovative, experience-led product strategies.
As one of the leaders of our team, you will inspire and empower a high-performing and innovative group of design strategists, content writers, researchers, UX/UI designers, and front-end developers in defining and delivering game-changing, end-to-end product experiences that simplify the complex across platforms, channels, and devices.
What you'll bring:
A track record of partnership building and leadership of design teams that span research, strategy, and execution.
A comprehensive portfolio with examples that showcase your storytelling capabilities, demonstrate design leadership and strategic vision, and show how you have influenced partners and teams to arrive at compelling product solutions
A deep understanding of human-centered design, UX practices, and building high-performing teams that balance design skill sets.

You’ll assess the skills and development areas of the designers on your team to align them to the right opportunities to deliver key results and encourage their growth.
You’re a systems thinker and orchestrator. You can effectively connect the dots between product experiences in the ecosystem. You’ll collaborate with cross-functional leaders to orchestrate the greater experience ecosystem, find efficiencies across shared technologies and common service moments, and unlock higher order value across the enterprise.
You’re skilled at guiding results-driven, end-to-end design from strategy to execution. You know the ins-and-outs of what’s needed to design and deliver a great experience and can set reasonable expectations and project time frames with cross-functional leadership peers.
You can effectively provide feedback to your team in how they frame problems, define insights, create compelling visions, design concepts and prototypes, and communicate their ideas. You have a critical eye for great UX, UI, visual, and content design, and can ensure your team delivers top-quality work.
You love what you do. You are constantly energized by solving customer & business problems and empowering teams to deliver elegant design solutions. You’ll shape our culture with your contagious enthusiasm — and that’s what makes you a great leader.
