Role
Who you are
- You should be comfortable working with tools like Figma and have experience designing consumer apps and digital products
- 5+ years of experience in Product Design, UX/UI Design, or a related role, with a demonstrated ability to deliver impactful user experiences
- Strong understanding of design principles and best practices, including typography, desktop/mobile UI, color schemes, layout, and iconography. Skilled in Figma and Adobe Creative Suite
- A robust portfolio showcasing your ability to design and deliver impactful, user-centered solutions across digital products
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to present ideas clearly and persuasively to team members and stakeholders
- Experience working within and contributing to a design system to ensure consistency and scalability in your design outputs

What the job involves
- Reporting to the VP of Product Design, GoHenry & Acorns Family, you’ll play a key role in shaping the Acorns experience. From ideation to execution, you’ll help define intuitive, thoughtful, and delightful money tools. You’ll support and collaborate with fellow designers, engineers, and product managers to bring new features to life, refine existing experiences, and push against what’s possible
- You’ll help refine features, build design systems, and evolve the Acorns product experience alongside a talented team
- This isn’t just a job; it’s life’s work. Because when people feel in control of their money, they feel in control of their lives. And when that happens at scale, society changes. If that sounds like the kind of design work you want to be doing, we’d love to hear from you
- This role will work closely with the US Acorns team. You will be expected to have four (4) or more hours of overlap with Acorns' standard business hours (8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. Monday–Friday, Eastern Standard time)

- Work closely with cross-functional teams, including product managers and engineers, to design and deliver user-centered features and functionality across multiple platforms
- Develop and present thoughtful, innovative, and user-focused design solutions that enhance the customer experience. Clearly articulate design rationale to stakeholders, ensuring alignment and understanding
- Advocate for and incorporate user research into the design process. Share findings to inform product development and refine solutions. Must be comfortable with running live A/B experiments and contribute to research strategy
- Actively participate in design reviews, provide constructive feedback, and contribute to a culture of collaboration and continuous improvement within the team. Serve as a design advocate across the organization
Salary benchmarks
Our take
Since a group of parents in Hampshire came up with the idea in 2009, GoHenry has come a long way and now has more than 2 million customers across its UK and US territories. GoHenry has been named by KPMG and H2 ventures as one of the world’s Leading 100 Fintech Innovators and the company also ranked the 8th fastest-growing British tech business in the Sunday Times TechTrack 100.
GoHenry has definitely revolutionised something that has characterised parent-child relationships for many years: pocket money. With no control or education, children usually spend their money without being truly aware of its value and do not learn anything about money management. GoHenry provides a useful tool to help young people learn good money habits while giving parents peace of mind and an easy way to manage pocket money.
On this mission to help children gain a better financial understanding, GoHenry has released a gamified, interactive tool named Money Missions. In addition to this game, GoHenry launched a Junior ISA, to enable parents to invest in their child's future in a more simple yet effective way. This clearly has potential as 11,000 parents opted for a Junior ISA in its pre-launch phase, so it's proving to be a sizeable market.
