Senior Product Designer
We’re looking for a Senior Product Designer who will take end-to-end ownership of a product vertical within our digital product ecosystem. This is a high-impact role responsible for shaping how our customers understand, manage, and operationalize workflows.
You will partner deeply with cross-functional teams to design experiences that transform complex accounting logic into intuitive, trustworthy, and efficient tools.
If you thrive on complexity, enjoy breaking down ambiguous systems into elegant designs, and are excited by the intersection of finance and product experience, this role is for you.
The Role
Product Strategy & Discovery
- Lead design vision and execution for a product area.
- Conduct user research with users and SMEs to uncover needs.
- Translate complex accounting requirements into usable product experiences.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define scope, prioritize iterations, and influence strategy.
Design Execution
- Own end-to-end design; from flows and wireframes to polished UI and functional prototypes.
- Create system-level solutions that balance configurability, clarity, and accuracy.
- Design clear and effective visualisations and experiences for complex financial data, including reporting, reconciliation, and ledger-based workflows.
- Ensure designs integrate well with the broader product ecosystem, patterns, and design system.
