Senior Product Designer, Growth

Wealthfront is looking for a senior product designer to join our Growth team. Reporting directly to the director of design for Growth, you will join a tight team of talented designers working on high impact projects for the company. Wealthfront pioneered automated investing by offering broad access to sophisticated investing strategies at a fraction of the cost of traditional financial advisers. That formed the beginning of a much broader vision for how our products 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, investing, and more. 

In this role, you’ll work on projects ranging from quick data-driven interaction and content experiments on Wealthfront’s core products to strategic initiatives tackling deep human problems like helping people discuss finances more comfortably or understand what they need to confidently invest. Most importantly, you’ll drive significant positive impact for Wealthfront’s users and business. 

Our Growth team is focused on learning what will drive real impact, not just incremental optimizations. To do this, we leverage qualitative research insights, product data, and business objectives to form hypotheses, and then figure out how to construct experiments that let us efficiently test and scale them. Success on the team requires a healthy mix of excellent design craft, a deep curiosity about what motivates people, and a passion for learning from scrappy experimentation. 

Passion or past experience building consumer financial technology products is highly desirable. Growing and managing your wealth is fundamental to being able to build the life you want with the people who matter most. This is a unique opportunity to be at the center of charting the next generation of innovation in financial products. If this gets you excited, we want to hear from you!

Designers at Wealthfront are innovative, creative, strategic, and detail-oriented. We transform complex technology and concepts into clear, simple, and actionable experiences. It takes skill to make financial products appear simple. Simplicity is what empowers our clients to build long-term wealth on their own terms.

Designers at Wealthfront define problems, new opportunities and solutions. We use data, insights, and behavioral psychology. We understand and consult on our technology. We connect everything we do to our clients and our business. We actively collaborate with engineers, product managers, researchers, data scientists, legal, and compliance. We’re making big bets. Innovation is encouraged. We embrace learning. As such, we care much more about the magnitude of success versus percentage of times we are successful. 

At Wealthfront, Design is an equal partner to Engineering and Product. It plays an important role in the executive staff that collectively makes all critical strategic decisions. As a leader of your craft, your role will be to model this, develop these skills in your design teams, and contribute to the company-level design organization in partnership with the design leadership team.
