About the Role
We’re looking for a Senior Product Designer to join Truework and help shape the end-to-end experiences that power income verification for mortgages and other lending use cases. You’ll partner closely with Product, Engineering, and cross-functional stakeholders to design intuitive workflows for complex, high-trust domains—balancing borrower ease, lender clarity, and operational realities.
This is a hands-on product design role with high ownership: you’ll drive discovery through execution, bring strong craft, and help the team make great decisions through clear thinking and excellent communication.
What you’ll do
• Own design for key Truework product areas across borrower, lender, and internal operational experiences (as applicable), from discovery through launch and iteration.
• Partner with Product and Engineering to define problems, shape roadmaps, and deliver high-quality solutions that align user needs with business outcomes.
• Simplify complex workflows (verification requests, document collection, consent/authorization, status visibility, exception handling) into clear, user-friendly experiences.
• Use AI-assisted design and development tools to rapidly prototype, validate, and—when appropriate—implement lightweight UI changes in code to improve iteration speed and overall product quality.
• Design for trust and clarity in a sensitive financial domain—prioritizing transparency, error prevention, accessibility, and confidence-building UI patterns.
• Translate insights into outcomes by combining qualitative research, stakeholder input, and product data to propose, test, and refine solutions.
• Create thoughtful interaction and visual design across responsive web and/or platform surfaces, producing clear specs and assets for engineering.
• Facilitate alignment with workshops, design reviews, and strong storytelling—helping teams move from ambiguity to decisions.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with partners such as Customer Success, Sales, Compliance/Legal, Data, and Operations to ensure designs work in the real world.
• Contribute to design systems and standards to improve consistency, speed, and quality across Truework.
What you bring
• You have 5–8+ years of product design experience (or equivalent), with a strong track record of shipping high-quality work.
• Your portfolio demonstrates end-to-end thinking: problem framing, exploration, rationale, collaboration
