About The Role You will work closely with customers, prospective customers and the Onviser Product team to understand customer needs, uncover problems worth solving and design intuitive digital experiences that deliver real value. You'll be involved throughout the product lifecycle—from discovery and research through to prototyping, testing and continuous improvement. You'll use customer insights, product thinking and data to simplify complex problems, validate ideas and create elegant, human-centred design solutions that improve both the customer experience and business outcomes. You'll collaborate closely with Product Managers, Engineers and stakeholders to shape new products and features, ensuring design decisions are informed by evidence rather than assumption. This is a role for someone who enjoys building. You'll thrive in ambiguity, helping define how products should work rather than waiting for requirements to be handed to you. You'll ask thoughtful questions, challenge assumptions and use your strong product instincts to help shape the future of the Onviser platform. It will include: End to end product design: From discovery and ideation through to detailed UI design, prototyping, and handoff. User Research & insight generation: Conduct user interviews, usability testing, and data analysis to identify pain points and validate design decisions. Experience design: Develop intuitive user flows and interaction patterns that simplify financial concepts for everyday users. Design system contribution: Develop and refine graphic components (e.g., iconography, imagery, patterns) within the design system for consistency across products. Interface design: Create clean, consistent UI components aligned with our design system. Continuous improvement: Advocate for design excellence, usability, and accessibility in all customer touchpoints. Design system management: Contribute to evolving our design system and component library. About You Most importantly you are driven by the need to understand customer problems and solve them through smart, simple design. You have top notch critical thinking skills and are always asking questions to understand the underlying problems customers are facing. You have a great product sense and love combining this with data to create intuitive, human-centred digital experiences. You have a builders instinct, you thrive when things are still taking shape - you would rather help decide how something should work than be handed a manual, and you are comfortable making sensible calls without a precedent to lean on. Bachelor’s Degree: In design, business, technology, or a related field (or equivalent work experience) 3–6 years of experience as a Product Designer or UX/UI Designer, ideally in SaaS, fintech, or digital product environments.
