Job Description
Who we are:
Financeit is a rapidly-growing fintech and enterprise services company serving some of the largest home improvement and retail organizations in the United States and Canada.
Financeit’s point-of-sale financing platform helps businesses of any size close more sales by offering customers affordable monthly payment options for their next big home improvement, vehicle or retail purchase. For larger enterprise businesses, Financeit delivers an integrated suite of home improvement solutions, known as Centah, that includes leads and workflow management, live contact agents, financing and promotions, performance assurance and category development.
Financeit is small enough that you can make an impact within the company, and large enough to make an impact in the market. As focused as we are on creating unique, category-defining products, we are also building a distinct and inclusive culture.
About the role:
As Centah’s Product Designer, you are passionate about simplifying and improving user experience. You create simple, compelling, and meaningful product experiences that enable a wide variety of users to achieve their goals. You are a creative problem solver and communicator, delivering concepts from initial sketches through to testing and evaluating final implementations. You like to show your work and believe every design has a great story to tell.
Reporting to the Director of Product and working seamlessly as a part of our product and engineering teams, your empathy for users, and detailed approach to design, will assist our team in building a remarkable platform experience that centers effortless design as a cornerstone of our reputation. With thorough user research skills and an impeccable visual design sense you will champion efficient interfaces that accentuate our functionality.
What you’ll do:
- Actively contribute at every stage of the project lifecycle, collaborating with the project team to brainstorm concepts, develop creative solutions, and design user flows while meeting deadlines.
- Own core component libraries to evolve the Centah design system, driving the design, specification, and maintenance of complex UI components, ensuring they meet the highest standards of craft and usability.
- Champion visual quality and craft, ensuring that every component—from buttons to complex data tables—is polished, accessible, and aligned with our brand identity.
- Demonstrate curiosity about user behavior and leverage quantitative and qualitative research to inform product and design decisions.
- Work closely with product stakeholders refining requirements, performing user interviews and running internal feedback sessions to find opportunities for usability improvement within the platform.
- Collaborate with developers to ensure technical feasibility, accepting input and feedback from different groups and making occasional compromises to deliver high-quality products on time.
- Prioritize UX debt by understanding complex information architecture and system mapping.
- Synthesizing requirements from many sources into elegant succinct designs.
What you’ll need to succeed:
- A portfolio of high-caliber work that showcases your design process from initial research to high-fidelity, responsive design.
- Expertise in modern Figma workflows (Auto-layout, Components, Variants, Properties) which enables building libraries and components that are easy for other designers to use.
- Disciplined organizational skills in both work prioritization and approach to figma file structure.
- Outstanding visual design skills with an eye for typography, layout, and hierarchy that demonstrates care for the details.
- Outstanding presentation and communication skills that help cross-functional teams understand the purpose behind designs.
- Demonstrated ability to identify gaps in systems and propose solutions without waiting to be asked.
- Fair grasp of how designs are implemented in code (HTML/CSS/React/Mobile) and can communicate effectively with developers about constraints and trade-offs.
