Product Designer

About the role

This role will have cross functional impact, shaping the story we share with customers and influencing product development through the user experience. As a core member of our team, you will report to our EVP of Product and Go to Market, while working closely with the CEO to shape high-stakes slide decks that win over partners and customers. Beyond the product, you own the company’s "narrative assets"—from the corporate website to product mockups and demos, having a direct impact on Skipify’s success.

Key Responsibilities

Strategic Narrative & Sales Enablement

• Product Storytelling: Create compelling, visual slide decks that articulate the product’s value proposition for executive-level meetings, partners, and customers.
• Functional Demos: Build and maintain high-fidelity demos that showcase "the future of the product" to external stakeholders and early adopters.
• Executive Collaboration: Support the CEO and Executive Team in visualizing new features and business opportunities before they hit the development queue.

Brand & Digital Presence

• Website Ownership: Manage the company website, ensuring it is geared toward our target audience and remains updated with our latest product evolution.
• Cohesive Brand Identity: Maintain visual and messaging consistency across the product interface, the marketing site, and all external partner-facing collateral.

UX Design & Engineering Partnership

• Experience Architecture: Work closely with the Product Lead to map out user journeys, wireframes, and high-level UX flows that align with our strategic goals.
• Technical Collaboration: Partner with the Lead Engineer to design functionality that is technically feasible, scalable, and high-performing.
• Figma Prototyping: Own the Figma workspace, creating pixel-perfect mockups and interactive demos that serve as the "blueprints" for the engineering team.
• Design-to-Dev Handoff: Ensure a seamless transition from design to code by providing clear specifications, assets, and real-time support during the build phase.

Who You Are

• The Bridge: You can speak "Business" with the CEO, "Strategy" with the Product Lead, and "Technical Specs" with the Lead Engineer.
• Visual Communicator: You believe a great slide deck or a clean mockup is a powerful sales tool, not just a design task.
• Startup-Minded: You thrive in ambiguity and are comfortable pivoting from a high-level UX workshop to updating a landing page in the same afternoon.
• Master of Figma: You don't just make things look pretty; you build organized, scalable component libraries and prototypes that feel like real software.
• 5-8 years experience in design, ideally working on fintech products and digital platforms with deep knowledge of the payments industry, including competitive landscape, market trends, and evolving merchant needs
