Lead Product Designer (f/m/d)

What we do

At getquin, we’re on a mission to empower everyone to build wealth. Founded in 2020, we started with a simple idea: help people see their entire financial life in one place, so they can make more informed decisions. Today, getquin has grown into one of the largest wealth platforms globally, already helping over half a million users manage and grow their wealth. Our platform combines analytics, tools and community to make wealth-building accessible for everyone, not just the experts. After launching in Germany, we’ve started expanding across Europe, with a focus on growing our user base, building valuable new features and helping even more people take control of their financial future. If you\u2019re excited to help shape the future of personal wealth management, join us. We\u2019re just getting started.

What you\u2019ll be doing

You\u2019ve been a strong designer. You\u2019ve led projects, maybe a small team. You\u2019ve delivered great work - but within someone else\u2019s design vision. Now you\u2019re ready to build your own.

This is that role.

We\u2019re looking for a Lead Product Designer to take ownership of design at getquin. You\u2019ll define our design direction, establish how we do user research and validation, and do the hands-on work of transforming our app into something users genuinely love. You\u2019ll work directly with the CEO & product team to take a functional product and make it truly exceptional.

This is a 0-to-1 design opportunity on two fronts: elevating & unifying our existing product AND shaping entirely new product areas as we expand into comprehensive wealth management. You won\u2019t just inherit a design system and maintain it. You\u2019ll evolve it - and define the UX for features that don\u2019t even exist yet.

Own design end-to-end

• Lead design strategy and execution across the entire product - mobile and web
• Take features from early problem definition through research, wireframes, prototypes, visual design, and launch
• Establish and maintain & evolve our design system, ensuring consistency and scalability
• Define what "good" looks like for getquin and hold that bar across everything we ship, from product to brand topics

Drive user-centred decisions

• Plan and conduct user research: interviews, usability testing, surveys, concept validation
• Synthesize findings into actionable insights that shape product direction
• Use quantitative data alongside qualitative insights to inform design decisions
• Be the voice of the user in discussions - challenge assumptions with evidence

Partner closely with Product and Engineering

• Collaborate daily with the PM to define problems worth solving and validate solutions
• Work with engineers to ensure design intent survives implementation
• Communicate design rationale clearly to stakeholders at all levels
• Balance user needs, business goals, and technical constraints pragmatically

Grow into design leadership

• Establish design processes, documentation, and rituals that scale
• Over time, expand the team and manage agency/freelancer partnerships, if required
• Oversee marketing design work (ads, app store assets, campaign visuals) - either hands-on or by managing external creatives
• Raise the design maturity of the organisation
• Grow your role and scope as the company scales

What we are looking for

You might be a fit if:

• You have at least 5 years of product design experience and a portfolio showing end-to-end ownership of features or products
• You\u2019ve led projects or small teams, maybe you even had the chance to own design direction company-wide
• You\u2019re strong in user research - you\u2019ve conducted interviews, usability tests, and used findings to shape product decisions
• You have solid UX and visual design skills - information architecture, interaction design, and polished UI
• You\u2019ve worked on top mobile-first consumer products where usability and craft matter
• You\u2019re data-informed - comfortable using analytics and metrics alongside qualitative insights
• You have some experience in marketing and brand design
• You communicate well with non-designers - can articulate your thinking and push back when needed
• You have a genuine interest in the latest technologies and in particular how to leverage AI in your work
• You\u2019re ready to step up - you want more ownership, more responsibility, and you\u2019re motivated to grow into a leadership role
• You\u2019re fluent in English; German is a plus

Strong plus if you have:

• Experience in fintech, trading, investing, or wealth management products
• Familiarity with design thinking frameworks and workshop facilitation
• Experience at an early-stage company or being the leading designer on a product
• Track record of improving or overhauling an existing product\u2019s design (not just greenfield)

Why join getquin?

We’re a fast-growing B2C startup, and here, your work has real impact. From day one, you\u2019ll take ownership of your domain, ship features end-to-end, and help shape the direction of a product used across Europe. We value initiative, ownership and creativity - not layers of process. Ready to build something meaningful? Then join us at the forefront of making wealth building accessible to everyone!
