Senior Product Designer

We are a small (but mighty!) product design team focused on improving the end-to-end Digital Business Banking experience (DBX) for M&T customers. This role will focus on designing Digital Business Banking experiences that support how customers onboard, manage, and service accounts across digital channels. You'll contribute to the evolution of our design practice while partnering closely with Product, Technology, and Business teams to deliver thoughtful, accessible, and customer-first solutions. We're looking for someone who is passionate about simplifying complex workflows, designing intuitive enterprise and customer experiences, and balancing business goals with user needs.

While our team is small, we are part of the larger Digital Experience Design (DxD) organization that spans across M&T and Wilmington Trust, offering strong support, collaboration, and alignment.

• Support usability testing and partner with researchers to gather insights that improve complex business banking experiences.
• Mentor junior designers and contribute to growing a culture of design quality, craft, collaboration, and continuous improvement.
• Influence roadmap planning by identifying experience opportunities, surfacing usability concerns, and helping prioritize work based on customer and business impact.

Scope of Role

As a Senior Product Designer, you will take ownership of critical flows across digital business banking experiences, helping shape how customers interact with M&T products and services. You will work cross-functionally with product owners, developers, researchers, and stakeholders to ensure experiences meet customer needs, regulatory requirements, and technical feasibility. You'll be a key contributor to the evolution of our platform, design practice, and product vision.
