About the role Wealthfront is looking for a senior product designer to join the Wealthfront Investing team working on our new suite of investing products. Wealthfront pioneered automated investing by offering broad access to sophisticated investing strategies at a fraction of the cost of traditional financial advisers. But that was only the beginning of a much broader vision for how our investing product can serve our mission to build a financial system that favors people over institutions. Since then, we’ve continued to expand the ways we help our clients build long-term wealth through saving and investing.
Your role will be to work on the end-to-end experience of our four primary investing products. You’ll collaborate closely with the cross-functional leaders on your team to define the direction for your work, and you’ll build on quantitative and qualitative research to craft delightful experiences that meet our customer and business goals.
Success in this role will require strong communication skills, critical thinking, a high bar for craft, and executional excellence. We’re looking for a senior designer who is equally excited to design an excellent experience as they are to dig into the complexities of what makes our investing products tick.
Design at Wealthfront Unlike many companies where designers are trained to make incremental changes and work through a chain of hierarchy to advocate for bold new ideas, designers at Wealthfront are expected to be innovative, creative and strategic, because design is critical to realizing our vision. Designers are expected to define problems, new opportunities and solutions that are deeply rooted in human psychology. They demonstrate a sound understanding of our technology and business, all in very tight collaboration with engineers, product managers, researchers and data scientists. In an environment where we’re making big bets, and innovation is encouraged, we embrace failure and care much more about the magnitude of success versus percentage of times we are successful. And unlike many organizations, design is an equal partner to engineering and product and plays an important role in the executive staff that collectively make all critical strategic decisions.
We’re a remote friendly team and open to candidates in the US.
