• You're strong in user research - you've conducted interviews, usability tests, and used findings to shape product decisions
• You have solid UX and visual design skills - information architecture, interaction design, and polished UI
• You’re able to go beyond just the simple visuals and know how to really delight users and trigger emotions that create a differentiating & lasting positive experience for users
• You've worked 3+ years on top mobile-first consumer products where usability and craft matter
• You're data-informed - comfortable using analytics and metrics alongside qualitative insights
• You have some experience in marketing and brand design
• You communicate well with non-designers - can articulate your thinking and push back when needed
• You have a genuine interest in the latest technologies and in particular how to leverage AI in your work
• You're ready to step up - you want more ownership, more responsibility, and you're motivated to grow into a leadership role
• You’re fluent in English; German is a plus

• This is a 0-to-1 design opportunity on two fronts: elevating & unifying our existing product AND shaping entirely new product areas as we expand into comprehensive wealth management
