We're hiring a Sr. Product Designer, Growth to help design new acquisition and growth products and feature iterations. You will turn ambiguous problems and emerging opportunities into clear, shippable experiences. In this role, you’ll partner with Product, Engineering, Research, and teams across Marketing, Brand, Legal, and Compliance to define direction and launch experiences that scale to millions of members.

This is a mobile-first, consumer product design role focused on helping people discover, trust, and adopt Dave’s products.

• Full-Lifecycle Product Design: Shape new growth levers and foundational features that drive acquisition and engagement. Drive the process from ambiguous early exploration and rapid concepting through to high-impact launches and continuous, data-driven iteration.

• Strategic Discovery & AI Prototyping: Frame the right problems through research and data. Use rapid prototyping (including AI-assisted workflows) to test ideas and inform product direction.

• Designing within Constraints: Translate user needs, business goals, and regulatory requirements into simple, high-quality mobile experiences that can support fast experimentation.

• Narrative & Alignment: Communicate design decisions clearly with partners. Champion design decisions that balance short-term conversion wins with long-term brand equity and user trust.

• Systems Thinking: Ensure growth work connects cleanly into the broader product experience. Contribute to shared patterns and design systems as experiments mature.

• Mentorship & Craft: Support peers through feedback and early-stage thinking. Help raise the quality and consistency of design across the team.

Your work will shape how new members first experience Dave and which products earn long-term trust. You’ll influence what gets built, how it shows up in the product, and how it contributes to sustainable growth.

You take ownership of outcomes, not just deliverables. You’re comfortable starting from a blank page and turning ambiguity into direction. You connect your design decisions to member impact, business goals, and long-term product quality - not just aesthetics.

You work closely with cross-functional partners and bring them into the process early. You ask thoughtful questions, adapt as new information emerges, and help teams make clear, grounded trade-offs. You give and receive feedback openly, improving both the work and how the team operates over time.

You’ll have meaningful ownership and the ability to shape products early. We move quickly, learn fast, and iterate based on what we see in the real world. If you’re excited by 0 → 1 work, autonomy, and building products that materially improve people’s financial lives, this role is for you.

• Build new products from the ground up for millions of members

• Help expand access to financial tools in a growing, profitable fintech

• Work with strong cross-functional partners who value design

• Grow as a senior IC with room to expand scope over time

• Competitive compensation, meaningful equity, comprehensive benefits, and flexible PTO
