About the Company:

Our client is a U.S.-based fintech company operating in the consumer and small business lending space. They build fully online lending experiences and are focused on improving usability, conversion, and customer experience across their digital products. With a lean and fast-moving team, they are investing heavily in product and design to support the next stage of growth.

About the Role:

We’re looking for a Senior UX/UI Designer to own the user experience across two lending brands. This person will lead a major redesign of key borrower journeys, improve funnel performance, and help shape how product decisions are identified, designed, and implemented.

This is not a purely visual design role. We’re looking for someone with strong product thinking who can identify friction points, make thoughtful design decisions, and work closely with engineering to bring solutions to life. You’ll collaborate directly with leadership and play a key role in improving the acquisition funnel, logged-in experience, and overall usability of the platform.

You Will:

• Own the UI/UX experience across both brands’ acquisition funnels and logged-in user journeys

• Lead a significant redesign of the current user experience, focused on usability, clarity, and conversion

• Identify friction points and opportunities for improvement using analytics, business data, and user behavior insights

• Drive ongoing A/B testing and funnel optimization efforts

• Create high-quality UI/UX solutions that balance user needs with business goals

• Work closely with engineering to ensure designs are implemented effectively and with high quality

• Clearly communicate the rationale behind design decisions and proposed improvements

• Contribute to future website migration or platform evolution initiatives where relevant

About You:

Your Background:

• 4+ years of experience in UX/UI design, product design, or similar roles

• Strong experience designing complex digital experiences, ideally including multi-step flows or high-conversion environments

• A clear UI/UX focus; deep product management experience is not required

• Ability to identify funnel issues proactively and use data to support design decisions and to explain the reasoning behind specific design choices in a clear and structured way

• Experience collaborating closely with engineers and supporting implementation

• Strong skills in Figma and experience working in modern product environments

• Strong written and spoken English

• A proactive, independent, and ownership-driven approach to work

• Experience with A/B testing and conversion-focused design

• Fintech experience is strongly preferred

Nice to Have:

• Experience in North American markets, especially the U.S.; Mexico and Canada are also highly relevant

• Familiarity with regulated digital products or compliance-sensitive experiences

• Experience with website migration projects or hosted CMS environments

Compensation & Benefits:

• Compensation: $4,000–$6,000 USD/month

• Unlimited PTO

• Direct collaboration with leadership in a fast-moving environment
