Job Description
About SmartAsset:
SmartAsset is an online destination for consumer-focused financial information, educational content, personalized calculators, and tools. Our mission is to help people make smart financial decisions, reaching an estimated 23 million people each month through our educational content, publishing partners, calculators, and tools.*
To extend that mission, we also operate the SmartAsset Advisor Marketing Platform (AMP), which helps connect consumers with participating fiduciary financial advisors. SmartAsset has been recognized as a 2025 ThinkAdvisor Luminaries winner in the Firm Award – Product or Service Innovation category and was ranked #2574 on the Inc. 5000 list in 2023. SmartAsset has also been featured on Y Combinator’s list of Top Companies, a curated compilation rather than a numerical ranking.** In 2021, SmartAsset completed a $110 million Series D funding round that valued the company at over $1 billion.
*Based on average monthly reach data for 2025 across SmartAsset-owned properties and publishing partners.
**Other than application, licensing, or similar administrative fees, SmartAsset did not provide compensation in connection with the referenced awards or recognitions.
About the team:
You’ll join the Product team supporting SmartAsset’s consumer funnel and web platform — the experiences that reach millions of people researching financial decisions every month. We work in tight, cross-functional pods where designers, PMs, and engineers ship and iterate quickly against real user behavior and live experiment data. It’s a place to grow as a designer fast: you’ll see your work in front of a large audience, learn directly from experimentation results, and partner with people who care about getting the details right.

- Collaborate daily with your product pod — product managers, engineers, and marketing partners — to ship cohesive, polished experiences.
- Apply usability and accessibility best practices to your designs, with guidance from more senior designers.
- Use analytics and A/B test results to inform and iterate on your work.

- Solid grasp of core UX and visual design fundamentals (hierarchy, layout, accessibility basics).
Skills/Experience preferred:
- Exposure to data-informed design or A/B testing.
- Familiarity with accessibility standards and inclusive design practices.
- Basic understanding of HTML/CSS and how designs are implemented.
- Experience designing within or contributing to a design system.

- Must be able to communicate via phone calls and/or video conferences (mainly for concierge and sales roles)
Available Benefits and Perks:
- Fully Remote Work: All roles are fully remote within the contiguous U.S., giving you flexibility to do your best work from where you thrive.
