At Propel, our mission is to build modern, respectful, and effective financial tools for low-income Americans. Over 4 million people use our first product, Fresh EBT, to manage government benefits on their EBT card, save money, and earn income. Read more about the impact of Fresh EBT here, here, and here. Now we’re expanding further into the financial services space by building a new financial product that will offer the best banking option for Americans families with limited income. Our goal for this new product is to help every family make it through the month, every month. We believe the right tool can have a measurable, meaningful impact for millions. The Senior Product Designer will be essential in crafting “the right tool” – from how it works, to how it feels, to how it stands apart from other EBT management & banking options. For this role, we are looking for an ambitious, experienced, and strategic designer with excellent visual and written communication skills. You’ll be an equal partner to both our product designers and UX researchers. In partnership with our product designers, you’ll distill customer journeys, loops of customer engagement, and essential behaviors our tool supports – and help conceive and test prototype solutions. In partnership with UX research, you’ll formulate and answer strategic research questions, help us define in detail the functional, cognitive and emotional needs of different customer segments. With cross-functional product teams, you’ll design and refine features that ensure we are continuously improving the product based on customer feedback and analytics.
