  • Focus: Strategy-led UX, built on a mature design system

This is a senior, high-visibility design role. You will shape how people earn, use, and engage with rewards across web and mobile, and how partner brands plug into that experience.

  • Work directly with stakeholders: Present and defend design decisions to senior internal leaders and external partners, including financial services and consumer brand partners
  • Work independently: Take ambiguous problems and drive them to clear, validated solutions with minimal hand-holding
  • Collaborate across disciplines: Partner with product, BAs, engineering, and fellow designers to deliver outcomes tied to business metrics

What you'll bring

  • Minimum 5+ years in UX/UI or product design, with senior-level ownership of end-to-end delivery
  • Strong systems thinking, with experience designing within (and evolving) design systems
  • Confidence presenting to stakeholders at all levels, including external partners
  • A portfolio that shows strategic thinking as well as craft, from concept to scaled launch
  • Skill in interactive prototyping for web and mobile
  • A solid grasp of accessibility principles
  • Familiarity with tools such as Figma, Jira, and Confluence
