About the role 


As the dedicated Product Designer for this 0-1 discovery project, you’ll craft and bring to life a new product experience for Limited Partners (LPs) investing with General Partners (GPs) in the Private Equity space. You’ll work closely with a Product Manager and a User Researcher, transforming deep user insights into impactful designs. Your mission is to translate the challenges and needs of LPs into user-centred, actionable design solutions, making a lasting impact on the product’s direction and value. 


 


What you’ll do 


Lead design with user insights 
Drawing on user research findings, you’ll lead the design process of discovery, ensuring each design decision reflects user needs. Using Figma, you’ll translate these insights into prototypes and high-fidelity designs that shape the product direction. We’re looking for someone skilled at putting ideas into tangible designs that can be tested and iterated with users. You will ensure that each concept aligns with user needs and product goals, working through the UX design process to bring these ideas to life. 


Collaborate closely with the user researcher 
Partnering closely with the User Researcher, you’ll take insights from interviews, usability tests, and surveys and translate them directly into tangible design solutions. You’ll work together to implement feedback into the design, continuously iterating to validate concepts and enhance usability. This collaboration will help drive the product’s user-centred design approach. 


Embrace ownership with strategic vision 
As the sole designer on this project, you’ll have the opportunity to shape and lead the design direction while aligning with our established design system and existing design framework. We’re looking for someone who can jump in immediately, establish a design foundation, and contribute to a strategic, user-driven product process. 


Elevate design maturity 
As a pioneering designer on this project, you’ll help set best practices for integrating design and research into the product development process. Your work will play a crucial role in building a culture of empathetic, user-driven design within the company, setting a standard for excellence. 


Be a collaborative force 
Build meaningful connections with users and teammates alike. Working closely with cross-functional stakeholders, you’ll foster a shared vision and ensure everyone is aligned and motivated by user needs. Your insights will help unify the team, creating a foundation for successful, user-centred outcomes that resonate deeply with our audience. 


 


Preferred skills & experience 



  • Familiarity with FinTech, Private Equity, or data-driven SaaS products is a plus 



  • Experience with complex data flows or tools in financial services is highly valued 



  • Strong interpersonal skills, with a natural ability to build trust, listen actively, and communicate effectively 


 


Why this role is special 


In this role, you’re not just filling a position—you’re pioneering the discovery phase of a product that could redefine the LP experience in Private Equity. As the dedicated product designer on this project, you’ll be part of a collaborative design team, creating a supportive environment for growth, innovation, and creativity. If you’re a proactive, empathetic designer who values collaboration and delivering meaningful user experiences, we’d be thrilled to meet you!
