About the job
About Wayflyer
Our mission is to give the world access to the best products by empowering great brands to reach their growth potential.
Today's consumer brands need a capital provider that keeps pace with their growth ambitions. Traditional financing options are slow, cumbersome and often out of reach. That's why we built Wayflyer.
Our unique technology allows us to assess businesses in minutes, generate financing offers that reflect their growth potential and send funds in as little as 24 hours.
Since launching in April 2020, we've deployed over $4.5bn to thousands of brands worldwide, backed by Tier 1 banks like J.P. Morgan. We've become a trusted financing partner for some amazing brands, like True Classic, Little Words Project and Kekoa Foods.
We're a fast-growing, venture-backed startup with big ambitions. We announced our Series B in February 2022, raising $150mn in funding at a $1.6bn valuation; backed by world-leading VCs including QED and DST Global.
Teams at Wayflyer are truly cross-functional. You'll be collaborating with ambitious colleagues from around the world - all striving to deliver on a huge opportunity. Check out this video to hear directly from them.
Design at Wayflyer
Starting and growing a brand is brutal and building a great product is just the first step.
Once you launch, you immediately compete at the global level and very few of the existing economic support systems are built for your scale and type of business. You have to go at it alone.
We want to help founders worldwide reach their potential. Today we identify brands ready for growth and back them with cash advances.
Tomorrow we’ll not only identify brands ready for growth but help even more brands reach growth readiness and in addition to backing them financially, we’ll offer a suite of products for sustaining growth so founders feel like they have a team at their back.
That’s where you come in: we’re hiring a diverse set of designers of many disciplines, skills, backgrounds, and specialties to join our growing Research & Design (R&D) team.
As you read this ad, if you think you tick a lot of the boxes, but not all of them, we’d love to hear from you anyway, especially if you’re a woman or were raised in a culture that makes you underplay your achievements.
Please only apply if you're based in one of the following countries that we can hire in - UK, Ireland, Portugal, Spain, Germany and Sweden.
About The Role
We’re looking for a Senior Product Designer to primarily be working on net-new work for Wayflyer, focusing on what the future of our product could look and feel like for our customers in collaboration with other departments (PD, Research, Eng) in the next six months, and after that taking on a wider role within the organisation to continue to drive craft & design excellence.
This means that you would need to be comfortable working in ambiguity, solving problems on the fly, working at significant pace and being able to be utilise exemplary UI skills whilst keeping an eye on how design scales within an organisation and across departments.
You will need to be equally comfortable and passionate about translating users needs into effortless journeys as well as crafting intuitive interfaces and beautiful visualisations of data.
You would be working with a small, focused team with a very high quality bar that would collaborate openly and frequently, so transparent communication and the ability to share & present your work and the reasoning behind it is critical.
We are looking for a designer that cares just as much about how something feels as to how it looks, with both of those playing a critical part in creating a cohesive, high-quality customer experience.
We are looking for a designer that pays attention to the tiny details & appreciates that moments of delight can create a strong affinity between customer & brand, helping to build trust and engagement.
This role would not suit a designer that is used to working on iterative features or smaller parts of an overall experience and is more suited to one that is able and passionate about working across the end to end experience.
Experience in B2C, B2B, or fintech is a plus but not a necessity and we encourage people with either in-house or agency experience to apply.
