Key Responsibilities

• Design, prototype, and test user experiences for digital financial products, with a focus on optimizing online loan and bank account applications.

• Create intuitive, visually engaging, and user-friendly interfaces that align with business goals and user needs.

• Collaborate closely with product managers, engineers, and clients to iterate on and refine design solutions.

• Present design concepts and decisions to internal stakeholders, clearly articulating and defending design rationale.

• Participate in grooming and refinement sessions with development teams to ensure high-quality implementation.

• Use design tools to produce storyboards, high-fidelity prototypes, and templates for user testing and demonstrations.

• Review proposed product changes for alignment with UX standards and recommend improvements.

• Expert Figma capabilities to create scalable design systems, components, and workflows.

• Utilize automation and integration tools (such as Make) to improve design efficiency and support design-to-development workflows.

• Contribute to AI-assisted design workflows, including understanding project outlines, inputs, and artifacts required to effectively run tools such as Claude Code.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree and 5+ years of relevant professional experience (or equivalent practical experience).

• Ability to work independently on moderately complex problems while contributing to larger, more advanced initiatives.

• Strong judgment and decision-making skills within defined procedures and practices.

• Experience applying user research, stakeholder input, and expert judgment to inform design decisions.

• Proven ability to build productive working relationships and collaborate effectively across cross-functional teams.

• Expert-level proficiency in Figma, including component libraries, design systems, and advanced prototyping.

• Experience with Axure or similar prototyping tools is a plus.

• Working knowledge of automation tools (e.g., Make) and how they integrate with design workflows.

• Understanding project structures, prompts, and supporting artifacts needed to effectively leverage AI coding and design tools such as Claude Code.
