What we are looking for

We are looking for someone who loves design as much as we do! As our Product Design Lead, you are responsible for designing our App, ranging from conceptualizing the UX to polishing off the UI.

Our mission is to help everybody navigate through the investment world easily and build a secure financial future for themselves.

Lead customer discovery via interviews, surveys, focus groups and other methods.
Design low and high-fidelity user screens and clickable prototypes.
Drive prioritization as well as UX decisions for our product pillars content & investing.
Own the end-to-end process from concept testing to creating mock-ups of the product for development.
Engage closely with developers to design and implement accessible, responsive and consistent User Interfaces.
Create a standard of UX that is consistent and maintained throughout products.
Tell our story through beautiful design and UI—you have to make the product sexy!
Use wireframing and storyboarding for user flows.
Optimize the Design System, style guides and UI pattern libraries.

Who you are

Agile: Always put the user first and feel comfortable changing your style and text depending on the different user groups.
