At Wise, we’ve got a clear mission — money without borders. Built by and for people who live global lives. We’re at a genuinely exciting time. Building more transparent and convenient ways to pay and get paid has never been more important in achieving our mission.

Your mission:

We’re looking for a talented Principal Product Designer to join our rapidly growing team in Austin. This is a unique opportunity to be the first Product Designer in North America, and to lead multiple initiatives that touch all areas of the Wise product to substantially improve the experience for our US customers.

This role requires craft, curiosity, collaboration, autonomy, and drive.

• You’ll be using your full range of product design skills to discover, design and deliver simple crafted experiences that prevent issues from arising and offer simple resolution paths when they do arise.

• You’ll build influence across multiple squads and teams, increasing customer-centricity, creativity, and design quality.

This role will give you the opportunity to:

• Ship work you’re proud of. Craft experiences that are innovative, easy to use and clear.

• Own your impact. You’ll decide what opportunities to work on, and define their success metrics.

• Elevate product quality. You define what ‘good’ looks like to your team. And you help them deliver it.

• Be part of a positive change in the world. We’re fixing a broken, greedy system, and putting people and businesses in control of their money.

• You’ve got a portfolio of well-crafted, impactful work that solves real problems for real people.

• You default to prototyping when presenting your work, and are already using AI tooling to do this.

• You’re a natural collaborator, designing in the open, leveraging other functions’ expertise and taking them on the journey with you.

• You understand that good design is often a journey to identify the right thing to build, using early concepts and prototypes to help build conviction along the way.
