The Opportunity

In this role you will own the product design function and strategy for Wealth.com. You will be partnering directly with leadership on vision, strategy, roadmap, scoping, and hiring so design decisions shape the business from the ground up. You will define what great looks like for an AI-native platform still being invented in real time. You'll translate design direction into a story that lands company-wide, making sure every pod's work ladders up to one coherent product vision. You'll set and maintain the design systems and standards that let quality scale no matter who's touching a given feature. Expect to embed directly in Wealth.com's highest-priority, highest-visibility workstreams, building credibility through impact, and to audit design maturity across the org as Wealth.com scales.

What You’ll Do

• Own product design function and strategy across the company
• Partner directly with leadership on roadmap, scoping and hiring decisions
• Influence and maintain design systems and standards (component libraries, interaction patterns, review rubrics) so quality scales independent of which designer touches a feature
• Shape AI-native interaction patterns for agent-driven AI-powered platform
• Translate product design direction into a story that lands across the company
• Ensuring each pod's work ladders up to one coherent product vision 
• Embed directly in high-priority, high-visibility workstreams to drive impact and build credibility
• Audit and elevate design maturity across the org, closing gaps between ad hoc and systematic practice

What You Need

• 10+ years of product design experience, with a portfolio demonstrating strong systems thinking, interaction design, and visual craft — and a track record of leading initiatives end-to-end
• Mastery of Figma, including components, variants, prototyping, and design system architecture
• Experience contributing to or scaling a design system across a product or team
• Strong understanding of accessibility standards and inclusive design principles
• Fluency with AI tools to move from concept to prototype
• Strong communicator — you can articulate design rationale clearly to engineers, PMs, and stakeholders, and you hold your perspective while staying open to new ideas
• Comfortable with ambiguity and energized by the challenge of bringing clarity to complex problems

Please note that this role will require you to be comfortable with working in-person at our NYC HQ (located near Penn Station) at least 3 days/week.
