Overview
We're looking for an Experience Designer to lead the creation and delivery of high-quality, scalable, and accessible user experiences for digital financial products. In this role, you'll take full ownership of complex design workflows, collaborating closely with product and development teams, enhancing the design system, and ensuring seamless design-to-dev handoff. This is a hands-on, systems-focused role for someone who thrives in regulated environments, understands financial services deeply, and can deliver design solutions that are consistent, dev-ready, and user-centered.
Key Responsibilities
- Product Alignment & Requirements Clarity: Partner with product managers to clarify requirements and align on priorities; translate business needs and technical constraints into intuitive user flows and scalable UI patterns; design full flows and high-fidelity screens using reusable components from the design system; identify gaps or inconsistencies and propose enhancements to improve scalability.
- Design Systems Ownership: Maintain and evolve a modular design system in Figma, ensuring consistency across products; apply structured naming conventions, responsive behaviors, and documentation standards; use Zeroheight to create production-ready documentation, annotations, and design tokens; provide clear specifications and collaborate closely with front-end teams to resolve ambiguity and ensure design integrity.
- Accessibility & Quality Assurance: Ensure all designs meet WCAG 2.1 standards and implement inclusive UX practices by default; conduct design QA reviews to verify the fidelity of final builds across states and breakpoints.
Qualifications
- 6+ years of experience in product design, UI/UX, or digital experience roles
- Advanced proficiency in Figma, with deep experience creating and managing component libraries, tokens, and auto layout
- Proven experience working within and contributing to structured design systems
- Strong understanding of accessibility guidelines (WCAG 2.1) and inclusive design
- Prior experience designing for responsive web and native mobile platforms
- Familiarity with Zeroheight, Zeplin, Storybook, or other handoff/documentation tools
- Substantial experience in financial services, fintech, or regulated enterprise platforms
- Comfortable working in Agile environments and collaborating cross-functionally with developers and product teams
