iCapital is powering the world’s alternative investment marketplace. Our financial technology platform has transformed how advisors, wealth management firms, asset managers, and banks evaluate and recommend bespoke public and private market strategies for their high-net-worth clients. iCapital services approximately $152 billion in global client assets invested in 1,210 funds, as of December 2022. 

 iCapital has been named to the Forbes Fintech 50 for five consecutive years (2018 – 2022); a back-to-back selection by Forbes to its list of Best Startup Employers; and a two-time winner of MMI/Barron’s Solutions Provider award (See link below). 

 About the Role 

iCapital is looking for a UX Designer to conceptualize and enhance features for our online FinTech product, employing user experience, interaction, and visual design skills to achieve a simple, modern experience. The ideal candidate will understand the overlap of these three design areas and embrace a creative process integrating them throughout. The candidate should have an eye for clean visual design, recognize strong UX, and value collaboration and problem solving. This role will remain at the forefront of new digital trends and UX design best practices to help optimize the client experience, increase product adoption, and scale growth.  

 Responsibilities 

  • Create pixel-perfect designs and prototypes leveraging iCapital’s Design System.  
  • Proactively suggest improvements to the platform, not only in reaction to request. 
  • Rely on qualitative and quantitative data to drive design decisions.  
  • Create wireframes and prototypes using the LeanUX methodology to solve business needs and problems.
  • Provide clearly defined specs and interaction guidelines to the Development team.  
  • Work closely and autonomously with Developers and Product Managers to test and review online product enhancements to ensure flawless execution.  
  • Contribute to maintenance of the iCapital Design System and Figma design component library.  
  • Manage multiple concurrent requests and requirements.  
  • Step outside the design realm when appropriate to contribute to the team and overall company mission. 
  • Present work to all levels of the company with confidence.  
  • When necessary, lead, coach, and mentor other designers on the team.  

 Qualifications 

  • Bachelor's Degree (BA or BFA) with 10+ years of demonstrated experience solving design challenges using user-centered design best practices.  
  • Experience leading teams, including performance management, hiring, coaching and mentoring  
  • Solid understanding of major design applications specifically Figma  
  • Experience in both (mobile & desktop) web and app applications  
  • History of teamwork and willingness to roll up sleeves and get the job done  
  • Strong interpersonal and presentation skills; proven ability to influence and communicate effectively  
  • Experience in FinTech and familiarity with product internationalization and WCAG accessibility guidelines are preferred  
  • Experience working with Google Analytics and Tag Manager a plus  

  

Benefits 

The base salary range for this role is $155000 to $185000. iCapital offers a compensation package which includes salary, equity for all full-time employees, and an annual performance bonus. Employees also receive a comprehensive benefits package that includes an employer matched retirement plan, generously subsidized healthcare with 100% employer paid dental, vision, telemedicine, and virtual mental health counseling, parental leave, and unlimited paid time off (PTO). 

We believe the best ideas and innovation happen when we are together. We offer most employees the flexibility to work in the office three or four days. Every department has different needs, and some positions will be designated in-office jobs, based on their function.

FURTHER THE BUSINESS
Exploring opportunities to innovate
“My favorite element of iCapital’s culture is its dedication to innovation,” said SVP of Technology Shay Hasnat. And that commitment is underscored by a current project about which Hasnat is excited: bringing together multiple applications into what Hasnat called a “unified platform” that will help users engage with a breadth of investment vehicles. It’s a project that Hasnat said has both big potential for users and iCapital. “It unlocks our ability to innovate and reproduce success in one part of the business by leveraging the technologies and services created by another,” Hasnat said.

INVESTING IN THE TEAM
Professional growth you can bank on
Lateral moves can facilitate big growth. That’s the case for finance leader Ilona Herbst, who spent her starting years at iCapital as executive assistant to CEO Lawrence Calcano — which Herbst called “a uniquely privileged opportunity” — before moving to corporate finance a few years ago. “iCapital culture is to promote from within. The flexibility of the company enabled me to grow into the new role and to develop new processes and workflows,” she said. Further, Herbst said recent career path dialogue with her managers touched on certifications to obtain for supporting her career.
