Our Mission:

We are a strong, innovative, and growing company that invests in people who care and make a positive impact. The Design team leads the way by creating human, simple, and engaging products to help people plan, track, and protect their financial goals.
What's the role?
A Sr. Experience Designer takes a holistic view of product balancing desirability, usability, viability, and feasibility all with a constant focus on how our customers, our partners, and the business all gain value through this complete 360-degree view of the product & service experience.

What You'll Be Doing:

  • Apply and evolve our design system into interfaces
  • Ideate multiple perspectives into mockups & prototypes utilizing best in class tools, methods, and processes.
  • Collaborate with partner-stakeholders (product manager, developers, other designers), leading design's focus on both design quality and the people whom we serve.
  • Drive design through to execution and delivery.
  • Drive usability, accessibility, responsiveness and other properties through design execution.

  • Demonstrate an advanced understanding of relevant psychological and other social science topics and their application to product design.
  • You have worked with applying design systems across a complex array of products and services.
  • You are an advocate for design process and methods, and have experience teaching non-designers how they can make use of them and gain value from their practice for themselves.
  • While you are responsive to direction, as a senior designer, you are also able to set your own direction in order to meet co-designed success criteria.
  • You are strategic and outcome oriented and present your work based on a critical eye to the business.
  • You have a detailed design process that is responsive to common heuristics and critical principles.
  • You are not only proficient in relevant tools of the trade but explore tools & tooling to always be ready to switch to the next outstanding tool.
