DESIGN AT WEALTHFRONT

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.
We’re a remote friendly team and open to candidates in the US.

Wealthfront is looking for a senior product designer to work on a new business line. Reporting directly to the VP of Design, this role will be joining a tight team of very senior designers. 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.
Your role will be to work on the end-to-end experience of a new business line. You’ll collaborate closely with other designers and cross-functional partners on your team to define the direction for your work. 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 products tick.
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!
