We are looking for a passionate product designer to help continue to grow our exciting new Workspace & Container product organization.

Our design team is 10 months old and about to launch a suite of new design-forward products - including a browser for the enterprise. We’ve built a lovely, culture-first team of designers and researchers that’s ready to take the next steps in its evolution. 

We seek to scale our design resources because we think the little details really do matter. We’re hiring an incredible designer who can both set the tone for brilliant product design, and mentor and grow the team.

Openfin Workspace is uniquely positioned to learn from our client base which encompasses 90% of financial institutions globally. You’ll research, design and lead the production of consumer-grade productivity tools, for the enterprise.

What you’ll do:

  • You will lead a team of product designers and build amazing experiences 
  • You will set the bar for quality and support and guide the team to meet it
  • You will get in the weeds and work on defining a complex set of products and come up for air and set the strategy
  • You will lead our design partnerships with clients; listening, prototyping and refining user insights
  • You will collaborate with a tight knit organization of engineers, designers and product managers to provide ergonomic solutions supported by analytics and intuition 
  • You will work across product verticals - interfaces, design systems, developer tooling and create efficient, high performing processes 

Who you are:

  • You have 7+ years of experience leading a product, from idea to delivery
  • You have 2+ years experience managing and mentoring others (be it as a manager or an IC on a team)
  • You’re comfortable working in greenfield environments, where it may be ambiguous and you need to defer to users for answers
  • You have impeccable attention to detail, problem solving abilities, and treat process as a product
  • You are a fantastic communicator; we are a fast moving company and its important that we are transparent and never siloed 
  • You are an expert in your field and can speak and educate about design to the wider company and clients alike 
  • You have experience working with consumer productivity tools and the attention to detail required to refine them
  • You have experience building and maintaining a public facing design system
  • You have a strong portfolio that demonstrates a breadth of work.
  • You are fun, engaged, and willing to be jolly with us 😎

An Insider's view of OpenFin

Mitra

Global Head of Marketing

What projects are you most excited about?

Prior to OpenFin, I worked at a big financial company for many years. OpenFin provides a totally different experience; I can see the product life cycle as a full picture. I love to see how issues I solve directly help our customers.

Li

Software Engineer

How has your career grown since starting at the company?

I knew from Day 1 exactly how I would add value and what were the things I could start implementing right away. I don't think I have seen such a quick turnaround of things that started as small ideas in my head, got bumped up to someone and then rolled out to the company.

Helen

People Ops Manager

What unique initiatives do you have that encourage innovation?

We've developed the OpenFin Incubator -- a rotating group of engineers from different teams that spend 2 week sprints specifically assigned to solving some of our most challenging business problems.

Steve

CTO

What kinds of technical challenges do you and your team face?

We are solving very interesting technical problems and you’d be really hard pressed to find another company our size that is dealing with those problems. As a person who enjoys working on and solving technical problems, we’re put in positions where we have to solve something that no one in the world is solving. We constantly experiment and learn.

VP of Engineering
