UX Designer

⚡ UX / Product Designer – Consumer FinTech 🌍 Remote 💲 $120,000 – $175,000

The Company

Consumer FinTech business undertaking a major modernisation of its customer-facing product suite. With strong traction in a regulated financial-services environment, they’re investing heavily in both platform infrastructure and product experience, including a complete refresh of their mobile applications across iOS and Android.

The Role

This isn’t a role where you’ll inherit an established design function or spend your days making incremental tweaks to an existing system.

The business has historically relied on engineers to own much of the product design work, and they’re now looking for someone who can bring structure, customer thinking, and strong execution to the experience. You’ll be the first dedicated design hire, partnering closely with Product and Engineering to rethink customer journeys, modernise interfaces, and build a design system that can support future growth.

The opportunity suits someone who enjoys ownership and ambiguity. You’ll need to balance strategic thinking with hands-on delivery, moving comfortably from identifying friction in an onboarding flow to designing the solution in Figma and supporting implementation alongside engineers.

What you’ll be working on:

Leading the redesign and evolution of a customer-facing financial product across web and mobile

Owning the refresh of the company’s design system

Reviewing and improving onboarding, customer journey, payout, and account-management flows

Creating wireframes, prototypes, high-fidelity designs, and production-ready assets in Figma

Working directly with front-end engineers during sprint planning, stand-ups, and implementation

Identifying UX opportunities through customer journey analysis and product discovery work

Collaborating closely with Product, Engineering, Compliance, and Marketing stakeholders

Helping establish best practices and shape the future direction of the design function

What you’ll bring:

Strong hands-on UX or Product Design experience

Advanced Figma skills and a portfolio demonstrating shipped customer-facing products

Experience designing mobile products across iOS and Android

A track record of owning customer journeys from discovery through to delivery

Experience building or maintaining design systems

The ability to work directly with engineers and influence product decisions

Experience within FinTech, payments, financial services, remittance, earned wage access, consumer banking, lending, or similar regulated consumer products

Experience designing onboarding, verification, customer account, payment, checkout, or transaction-related workflows

Comfort operating in startup or scale-up environments where priorities can change quickly

A self-starter mentality with the ability to challenge assumptions and work independently

Why this role?

Most design roles ask you to optimise an existing product. This one asks you to help redefine it.

You’ll join as the company’s first dedicated designer, giving you significant influence over the customer experience, design standards, and product direction. There’s backing from senior product leadership, a clear business need, and a genuine appetite for change.

If you’ve worked in consumer FinTech and have ever wanted the chance to build the design function rather than inherit it, this is the sort of opportunity that doesn’t come around often.
