As a Principal Product Designer, you’ll set the experience vision for our AI-driven SaaS platform. You’ll balance hands-on design craft with strategic influence across product, technology, and business teams. You will share insights, build elegant workflows and translate complexity into intuitive, and delightful experiences.


You’ll work closely with executives, engineers, and product managers to redefine how commercial loans are originated, evaluated, and closed—all while mentoring designers and elevating the overall design culture across the company.

  • Work directly with executives to shape product direction, influence key decisions, and advocate for user needs
Measure and Drive Impact

  • Background at companies like Zillow, Rocket Mortgage, Trulia, Blend, LendingTree, Plaid, Redfin, Compass, or SoFi is highly desired
Skills & Craft
  • Mastery of modern design tools (Figma, Sketch, etc.) and design systems
  • Strong in Information Architecture, interaction design, prototyping, and usability testing skills
  • Ability to clearly articulate design decisions to both executives and cross-functional partners 
Leadership & Influence
  • Track record of mentoring designers and elevating design culture
  • Capable of leading as a senior individual contributor while influencing product vision at scale
  • Entrepreneurial mindset, comfortable in fast-paced, high-growth environments
Why Join CommLoan
  • Shape the future of CRE lending, with AI at the core of the experience
  • Lead design innovation for a SaaS platform with massive industry impact
