What the job involves
- Wealthfront is looking for a Senior Content Designer to join the money movement team within our Cash product—our much-loved high-yield savings and checking experience
- Cash is the hub of Wealthfront’s financial ecosystem
- Clients love it for its instant money movement, joint account access, and the way it simplifies earning more with their cash
- This role reports directly to the Cash Design Director and is built for a designer who is energized by simplifying complexity and crafting clear, delightful experiences for our clients
- 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
- As a Senior Content Designer on the Cash team, you will be a key part of expanding how we help clients build long-term wealth by improving our money movement experiences
- The Move team crafts all of the surfaces that enable our clients to access and deploy their cash in the Wealthfront ecosystem and beyond
- You won't be designing in a silo; you’ll be connecting the dots between Cash and the broader Wealthfront ecosystem to create a seamless financial home
Our take
Wealthfront's platform takes the hassle and stress out of investing, financial planning, borrowing, and saving with automated services and financial advice. Its robo-advisor allows customers to set a financial limit on their accounts, anything above the limit is moved into an investment account or another account chosen by the customer.
Indeed, it has some similarities to round-up apps like Acorn, which round up purchases and put the spare change into savings. There are other companies working on robo-advisors too, such as Morgan Stanley and Betterment.
Nonetheless, with an impressive and steadily increasing list of clients, and more than $50B of assets under its management, Wealthfront achieved Unicorn status in September 2022. Now it is diversifying its offerings, branching into high-interest checking accounts and investment advice and reportedly seeking a valuation of up to $2.05B in its upcoming IPO, a move that puts the company in a strong position for even more growth.
