[Hiring] Lead Product Designer @Deel

Role Description

We’re hiring a hands-on Design Leader to join our Fintech design team. Deel Fintech mission is to build the best experience in the world for paying and getting paid — globally, compliantly, instantly — as part of Deel’s all-in-one platform for hiring, managing, and paying talent.

You’ll own design across our most visible Client and Worker experiences on Web and Mobile — touching products used daily by hundreds of thousands of businesses and millions of workers worldwide.

We’re looking for someone who gets deep into product work, has a strong doer mindset, thinks big, and moves fast. This is a different kind of leadership. Not decks, not endless strategy debates, not big-org politics. It’s about leading by doing. Setting the bar. Shipping strong work. Raising others through example.

It’s a hybrid role: you’ll lead a small team and still design yourself.

What you’ll do

• ~30% Vision: Partnering with PDE Directors to shape where Client and Worker experiences should go next. Connecting dots across journeys. Rethinking the existing paradigms. Challenging the status quo.
• ~40% Operator mode: Working directly with designers on active B2B and B2C projects. Tightening UX. Solving complexity. Raising quality in real time.
• ~30% Team leadership: Managing and developing a small team through hands-on collaboration. Creating clarity. Raising the bar. Putting them first.

Qualifications

• 8+ years in Product Design, 3+ years operating at a very senior IC level (Lead / Staff)
• At least 2+ years managing designers
• Curiosity about AI and emerging technologies; experience designing AI-assisted or AI-powered product experiences or using AI tools as part of your design workflow.
• A portfolio that includes examples of work related to AI-powered features, AI-assisted workflows, or experiments with AI tools.
• Experience in fast-moving product companies (scale-ups, strong tech orgs, fintech, neo-banks)
• Strong craft across interaction and visual design
• Comfortable across B2B and consumer experiences
• Solid mobile experience
• Fintech experience is a plus

Requirements

• Thrives in velocity
• Doesn't wait for perfect clarity
• Makes good decisions under pressure
• Puts the team first
• Holds a high bar for yourself and for others
• Cares about details and outcomes

AI is changing how products are designed and built. At Deel, we’re excited about designers who are exploring how AI can enhance both the design process and the product experience.

We’re looking for designers who are curious about emerging technologies and who actively experiment with AI in their work. This could include improving design workflows, prototyping faster, exploring new interaction patterns, or helping shape AI-powered product experiences.

If you’ve worked on AI-related features or used AI tools as part of your design process, we’d love to see examples of that work in your portfolio.

Benefits

• Stock grant opportunities dependent on your role, employment status and location
• Additional perks and benefits based on your employment status and country
• The flexibility of remote work, including optional WeWork access
