Job Description
- Our Client, a leading financial institution, is seeking an Intermediate Product Designer – Native Mobile (L8) to design easy-to-use, accessible, and client-focused investing experiences for its flagship Mobile App - Self-Directed Investing capabilities across iOS and Android.
- You will own features end to end - from high-level experience concepts through detailed interaction and visual design - partnering closely with product managers, researchers, content designers, and developers in an agile environment. You will leverage and contribute to the Client Mobile design system, publishing components, patterns, and documentation in Figma, and ensure every design is technically feasible, platform-correct, and optimized for native implementation.
- This is ideal for a balanced product designer who thinks strategically about user experience while delivering polished visuals: you sweat states, behaviors, transitions, and edge cases; you design for accessibility (WCAG); and you stay current on emerging mobile platform capabilities. If you are passionate about creating simple, elegant experiences that help clients confidently manage and grow their investments - and you can be onsite a minimum of 4 days a week - we want to hear from you.
