Role
Who you are
- 4+ years experience designing and shipping software for consumer-facing digital experiences
- Comfort documenting and explaining your process and rationale behind design decisions, including leveraging data and research to inform decision-making
- Demonstrated aptitude for digging in to get things done to make your team successful – wearing several different hats when necessary
- Native mobile application experience (iOS and Android)
- Experience working with design systems and integrating them into the product development and engineering processes
- Deep knowledge of design software (though we formally use Figma as a team) and interactive prototyping software (Principle, Framer, or Origami)
- Comfort with ambiguous problems
- Motivation to be a self-starter
- Passion for financial products and improving people’s financial lives

What the job involves
- As a Senior Product Designer at Flex, you'll solve problems for a diverse community of people who are underserved by existing financial products
- You'll own projects from end-to-end, beginning by exploring opportunities, and ultimately delivering solutions that improve the lives of Americans who might be experiencing financial hardship
- All of your design skills will be put to use, from design thinking, to interaction design and visual design
- You'll work alongside product managers, software engineers, and data analysts, with feedback and support from your fellow designers
- Independently lead design initiatives alongside your cross-functional partners for key consumer-facing products and features
- Own the design process from beginning to end: leading discovery, ideation, wireframing, testing, visual design, and production
- Identify customer needs through quantitative and qualitative research and existing data
- Craft innovative solutions for product opportunities that have little or no precedent in the existing market
- Solicit feedback from and provide feedback to our design team in order to maintain quality and consistency in digital experiences
- Collaborate closely with software engineers and collaborators to ensure your vision becomes a reality
- Share your work early and often to ensure alignment and consistency with the rest of the Flex product ecosystem
- Help maintain and evolve our design system, Ultraviolet
Our take
Many people struggle to pay their rent every month, with a variety of bills hitting their bank accounts simultaneously. Whilst many of these people earn enough money to cover their bills, the inflexible nature of monthly bills can make the all-in-one payment a harder obstacle.
Flex provides a mobile application for the flexible payment of rent, allowing users to pay their landlords through flexible payment plans, reschedule payments when necessary, and protect their funds through Overdraft Protection. The company achieves this by partnering with estate agents and paying their resident's bills upfront, taking on the challenges that landlords would normally have due to late payments.
Flex has experienced extremely rapid growth since its founding which has caused some issues, as it struggled to keep up with the surge in new customers. Having made improvements to its product and scaled its customer service team, it is set to continue providing a service that has come to be highly valued by both tenants and landlords.
