Lead Product Designer (Fintech)

We’re hiring a hands-on Design Leader to join our Fintech design team. Deel Fintech 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.

We’re looking for someone who gets deep into product work, has a strong doer mindset, thinks big, and moves fast. This is a different kind of leadership. Not decks, not endless strategy debates, not big-org politics. It’s about leading by doing. Setting the bar. Shipping strong work. Raising others through example.

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

What you’ll do

• ~30% Vision. Partnering with PDE Directors to shape where Client and Worker experiences should go next. Connecting dots across journeys. Rethinking the existing paradigms. Challenging the status quo.

• ~40% Operator mode. Working directly with designers on active B2B and B2C projects. Tightening UX. Solving complexity. Raising quality in real time.

• ~30% Team leadership. Managing and developing a small team through hands-on collaboration. Creating clarity. Raising the bar. Putting them first.

What we’re looking for

• 8+ years in Product Design, 3+ years operating 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 as part of your design workflow. A portfolio that 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
