We've built a platform that enables lenders to access a single, predictive cross-border credit database to help enable underwriting decisions. We are backed by leading investors, including Kleiner Perkins, General Catalyst, Index Ventures, and a Great Place to Work Certified company!
As Nova Credit's Senior Product Designer, you will work with a fellow designer and the product team to establish the company's overall design direction; this is an exciting opportunity to collaborate with stakeholders across the organization.

  • Improve, iterate on, and maintain Nova Credit’s design system, resulting in better consistency between products and improving developer velocity

WITHIN THE FIRST YEAR, YOU'LL:

  • Develop the user journey for a historic platform of products and services that drive financial inclusion within the US and across the globe
  • Drive the organizational elements of our design function across our multiple product lines

  • A portfolio that demonstrates a breadth of both UX and UI work
  • Skillful at creating high-fidelity mockups using the latest design tools (e.g., Figma)
  • An ability to collaborate with a cross-functional team, including product, engineering, consumer insights, customer success, and marketing
  • A passion for visual and interaction design systems and an ability to understand the big picture while still sweating the details
  • The strength to work independently and make forward progress by proactively identifying blockers and seeking out ways to overcome them
