Lead Product Designer (Fintech)

Summary

We’re hiring a hands‑on Design Leader to join our Fintech design team. Deel Fintech’s mission is to build the best experience in the world for paying and getting paid — globally, compliantly, instantly — as part of Deel’s all‑in‑one platform for hiring, managing, and paying talent.

You’ll own design across our most visible Client and Worker experiences on Web and Mobile — touching products used daily by hundreds of thousands of businesses and millions of workers worldwide.

It’s a hybrid role: you’ll lead a small team and still design yourself.

What you’ll do

• ~30% Vision. Partner with PDE Directors to shape where Client and Worker experiences should go next. Connect dots across journeys, rethink existing paradigms, and challenge the status quo.
• ~40% Operator mode. Work directly with designers on active B2B and B2C projects, tighten UX, solve complexity, and raise quality in real time.
• ~30% Team leadership. Manage and develop a small team through hands‑on collaboration, create clarity, raise the bar, and put them first.

What we’re looking for

• 8+ years in Product Design, 3+ years at a very senior IC level (Lead / Staff).
• At least 2+ years managing designers.
• AI: Curiosity about AI and emerging technologies; experience designing AI‑assisted or AI‑powered product experiences or using AI tools in your workflow. Portfolio includes examples of work related to AI‑powered features, AI‑assisted workflows, or experiments with AI tools.
• Experience in fast‑moving product companies (scale‑ups, strong tech orgs, fintech, neo‑banks).
• Strong craft across interaction and visual design.
• Comfortable across B2B and consumer experiences.
• Solid mobile experience.
• Fintech experience is a plus.

You should be someone who:

• Thrives in velocity.
• Doesn’t wait for perfect clarity.
• Makes good decisions under pressure.
• Puts the team first.
• Holds a high bar for yourself and for others.
• Cares about details and outcomes.

If you’ve worked on AI‑related features or used AI tools as part of your design process, we’d love to see examples of that work in your portfolio.
