Head of Product Design

• The foundations are in place: a recent rebrand, an evolved design system, and embedded, strong designers.
• What hasn't been built yet is a design practice that consistently shapes what we build, not just how it looks, and is known across the enterprise.
• Lead the design function: Set the vision, standards, and strategy for product design at Tilt in a manner that fits Tilt’s strategic objectives. Set the bar for craft and hold it across every surface we ship.
• Operate with urgency for our users: Set ambitious timelines, but know when to afford space. We learn best from product in customers’ hands, and are comfortable with ambiguity.
• Move design upstream: Push design into problem definition and roadmap-setting, not just execution. Partner with Product, Engineering, and other cross-functional leadership to build better operating systems.
• Champion the user for the enterprise: Be the vocal, evidence-based advocate for the people who use our products. Bring research, verbatims, and influence into decisions across credit, growth, engineering, and more.
• Own how we learn: Build Tilt's research practice — today getting started with our first researcher — into a durable capability that gets the team real signal on real users.
• Scale the design system: Steward the Tilt Design System — from illustrations, type, color, copy, and more — as products in their own right, so a growing multi-product surface stays coherent.
• Partner with Creative: Work closely with Marketing's Creative team so product experience and brand expression reinforce each other — make the seam invisible between the disciplines.
• Depth in consumer product design: 8+ years designing and shipping consumer-facing mobile products, ideally in fintech or another domain with real complexity sitting behind a simple surface.
• Proven people leadership: 5+ years managing designers, with a track record of building teams, raising the bar on craft, and developing people into stronger designers than you found them.
• A portfolio with consequences: Work that shows craft and outcome. You can walk through the user problem, the decisions you made, and what changed in the business.
• Evidence-driven, but comfortable in ambiguity: You use research and data to sharpen design judgment rather than substitute for it, and you know how to get signal when there's no dedicated research team yet.
• Clear at the exec level: You can make a design argument to a CEO or a credit lead without translating it into design jargon first.
• Fluent in modern tooling: Deep in Figma, and genuinely curious about where AI belongs in a design workflow.
• Initial recruiter call: A conversation to learn about your experience and what you're looking for in your next role.
• Hiring manager interview: A deeper discussion about your background and approach to solving challenges.
• Skills panel: Meet with Tilt team members to discuss your expertise and problem-solving approach through real-world scenarios.
• Portfolio and leadership review: Walk the team through work you've led and how you build design organisations.
• Leadership conversation: A conversation with a leader to discuss our mission and how you could contribute to it (and how we can help you achieve your career goals along the way).
• Don’t meet every qualification? We care about potential over your past. If you're bringing ambition and drive to what we're building, we want to hear from you.
• Virtual-first teamwork: The Tilt team is collaborating across 14 countries, 12 time zones, and counting. You’ll get started with a WFH office reimbursement.
• Competitive pay: We're big on potential, and it's reflected in our competitive compensation packages and generous equity.
• Complete support: Find flexible health plans at every premium level, and substantial subsidies that stand up to global standards.
