ABOUT THE ROLE 🤹‍♀️

The Team Leader, Product Designer for our Platform group is a multifaceted role that requires a deep understanding of the fintech industry and a proven track record in strategic design leadership. You will oversee the development and execution of the Platform group’s design strategy, working closely with the Group Product Manager (GPM) to align on vision and goals, as well as roadmaps and sprint plans. Leading a team of designers, you’ll manage the creation of seamless, data-driven user experiences across significant portions of our app, including Onboarding, Dashboard, Premium Membership, Log In/Authentication, and more. As a senior member of the design team, you will not only shape the aesthetic and functional aspects of these product features but also contribute significantly to the overall user experience strategy. Your role involves hands-on design work, ensuring that every product feature is visually compelling, functionally robust, and aligned with our company’s mission to empower users in their financial journeys. Through close collaboration with cross-functional teams, your work will be instrumental in revealing insights hidden in our users’ financial data, shaping the aesthetic and strategic direction of the app, and helping users achieve their financial goals through clear, accessible, and engaging design.

Specifically, you will:

• In collaboration with the GPM, develop and drive the Platform product vision and strategy in alignment with business objectives and user needs. Help to coordinate design resources and prioritize projects based on Platform group’s strategic goals and team capacity.
• Work closely with product managers, engineers, researchers, data, and other stakeholders to align on product vision and ensure design feasibility.
• Lead, manage, and mentor a small team of designers, fostering growth, collaboration, and excellence in design practices.
• Work closely with Product Design Ops to maintain and evolve the end-to-end design process, ensuring efficient workflows, high-quality outputs, and timely delivery of design assets.
• Champion user-centered design principles by overseeing the creation of seamless experiences across Platform features (and beyond) to ensure that all designs are intuitive, accessible, and informed by user research, testing, and feedback.
• Utilize data analytics and user feedback to inform design choices and iterate on designs to improve user outcomes.
• Present design concepts and strategies to senior leadership and other stakeholders, clearly articulating design rationale and decisions.
• Design, create, and test prototypes alongside the Research team to validate user needs and refine design solutions.
• Work directly with Rocket Money Design Systems to maintain and evolve the company’s design system, ensuring consistency, scalability, and efficiency across all product touch points.
• Drive continuous innovation, proposing new ways for users to engage with Rocket Money's services and improving the overall design process.
• Stay informed of industry trends, emerging technologies, and design best practices to continuously elevate the product and the team's capabilities.
• Participate in the recruitment process, identifying and onboarding top design talent to expand the team’s capabilities.
