Remote Senior Staff Product Designer, Cash

About the role

Wealthfront is looking for a Senior Staff Product Designer to drive design for our Cash product—our much loved high-yield savings and checking experience. Cash is the hub of Wealthfront’s financial ecosystem; clients love it for its instant money movement, joint account access, and the way it simplifies earning more with their cash. This role reports directly to a Design Director and is built for an experienced designer who is energized by simplifying complexity and crafting experiences as a zealous advocate for our clients.

Wealthfront pioneered automated investing by offering broad access to sophisticated investing strategies at a fraction of the cost of traditional financial advisers. That formed the beginning of a much broader vision for how our products can serve our mission to build a financial system that favors people over institutions. Since then, we’ve continued to expand the ways we help our clients build long-term wealth through saving, investing, and more.

As a Senior Staff designer on the Cash team, you will be a key part of expanding how we help clients build long-term wealth by identifying new opportunities across teams and surfaces. You wont just be designing in a silo; you’ll be connecting the dots between Cash and the broader Wealthfront ecosystem to create a seamless financial home
