Job Description
Financial Services is a category within the organization that exists to bring financial freedom to all our customers, many of whom are excluded by traditional institutions. Our teams help customers from the moment they get paid to the moment they file their taxes, while helping them manage, save, spend, invest, provide, borrow, and learn about money along the way.

Your impact will be seen at a granular level, designing flows and experiences to improve our Financial Services products, providing feedback for your team’s in-flight design work, as well as at highly strategic product levels. You’ll empower designers to grow and develop their own influence within the organization, while also partnering with product, engineering, and data leaders.
