With a business model that is aligned with our customers, we create transparent, fair, and simple financial products that put money back in the hands of our members, help them spend wisely, avoid unfair fees and build their credit quickly. If autonomy, ownership, and having meaningful input at the company you work for is important to you, come join our growing team!

Brigit is doing innovative and exciting work, but don’t just take our word for it, our work is being recognized by others:

The Role

We’re looking for a creative, experienced Design Director to lead our product design function at Brigit. You’ll guide a team of talented designers and work cross functionally to shape every customer touchpoint, from onboarding and navigation to our core product portfolio that includes Instant Cash, Credit Builder, our financial wellness marketplace, and our new line of credit offering.

As a key leader in the Product organization, you'll bring vision and craft together to create lovable, accessible, and effective digital experiences for millions of financially underserved Americans.

This is a leadership role for someone who is excited to be both strategic and hands-on, who can zoom out to define a design system and zoom in to finesse micro-interactions, all while building and mentoring a high-performing team.

What You’ll Do

  • Lead and inspire a growing team of product designers

  • Establish a culture of big-picture ideation, hypothesis-driven prioritization, and user-centered research and design

  • Set the vision for product design excellence that combines visual and interactive elements with top-notch user experience design

  • Shape Brigit’s user research function by establishing the processes and tooling to empower designers, product managers, and marketers to discover qualitative insights quickly

  • Partner closely with Product, Engineering and Marketing to define product strategy and set roadmap priorities

  • Elevate the brand through every product interaction, developing a cohesive, compelling, and modern design language for the Brigit app

  • Bring structure to how we work: Evolve our design systems, tools, and processes to improve velocity and consistency

  • Champion our customers, who often face financial stress and deserve clarity and compassion in every product touchpoint

  • Roll up your sleeves: Lead by example with exceptional hands-on design and clear storytelling

What We’re Looking For

  • 8+ years of product design experience, with 3+ years managing or directing designers

  • Experience leading design for consumer mobile apps (fintech, health, or other behavior-changing products preferred)

  • Exceptional portfolio that showcases end-to-end product thinking, visual design skills, and visionary leadership

  • Deep understanding of UX best practices, accessibility, and design systems

  • Experience leading and executing user research

  • Strong collaboration and communication skills — you influence through vision while also keeping tactical priorities on track

  • Empathy for financially stressed Americans and an interest in developing products that promote sustainable financial health

  • Bonus: Background in behavioral design, financial services, or other regulated industries
