Who we are 

Our mission at Point is to make homeownership more valuable and accessible to all. Every day, we explore, build, and iterate to create innovative financial products that improve the lives of our customers. Together, we’re creating the premier full-stack home equity platform to help current homeowners access their home wealth and aspiring ones realize their dream of homeownership. We recently raised a $120M Series C led by WestCap, and have raised over $170M overall from Andreessen Horowitz and other leading investors.

About the role

We’re seeking an exceptional senior product designer to join Point’s growing design team! Come collaborate with a passionate, supportive team dedicated to improving the lives of homeowners and home buyers across the nation. Your talents for understanding and empathizing with people and designing elegant solutions for them will play a critical role in Point’s continued success. 

Since Point was founded, we’ve designed industry-leading customer education around our innovative home equity product, leading to unprecedented demand. Now it’s time to scale—you’ll be researching new customer types for new product lines, improving our funnel conversion, and bringing a fresh eye to our internal underwriting tools. You’ll uncover inefficiencies and design solutions that lessen cognitive overhead for our team, lowering business costs and increasing speed of funding.

Your responsibilities

• You’re experienced in conducting user research and interviews. You can synthesize your findings in powerfully communicative mediums including personas, storyboards, and customer journeys that align and unite the larger team.
• You have an intuitive sense for designs that work and make sense to the end user, but you’re always willing to get outside yourself and listen to the data.
• Your empathy doesn’t stop at the customer—you strive to understand your teammates’ perspectives and goals and you’re considerate when delivering feedback.
• You’re obsessed with the details. You’ll pour yourself into whatever work you do, whether that’s a final design, written document, or developer spec.
• You’re an articulate communicator able to challenge assumptions and persuasively evangelize your ideas.
• You’re a clever visual storyteller with a well-developed eye for layout, hierarchy, color, and typography.
• You’re pragmatic—you understand that development timelines and business requirements often require creative compromises. 

You have 

• Strong design portfolio.
• 5+ years of experience designing consumer products.
• Fintech experience helpful, but not required.
