- Turn user needs and financial insights into intuitive flows that help customers stay in control and unlock meaningful value.
- Push the boundaries of what’s possible using AI-powered tooling including MCPs, Figma Make, Cursor, and other emerging systems that amplify speed and quality.
Here’s what we’re looking for:
- Mastery of the full product lifecycle, from shaping product strategy and guiding discovery to driving concepts and build-ready execution.
- Strong design craft across visual, interaction, and UX, with a focus on clarity, utility, delight, and people leadership in hiring, coaching, and elevating the team’s bar.
- Proven ability to align and influence PMs, engineers, data, and executives.
- Fluency in Figma, design systems, and emerging tools like Pencil / Cursor.
