Job Description

The Core Experience design team shapes the future of Cash App by defining the fundamental flows, frameworks, and surfaces that tens of millions of customers rely on every day. We are a team that drives the strategic step-changes pushing our product forward. As the Design Lead for Core Experience, you will report to Cam Worboys (Head of Product Design, Cash App and Afterpay) and lead a team of 10+ designers. This is a hybrid player-coach and DRI role: you will set an exceptionally high craft bar while staying hands-on with the most critical work. You will partner with senior leadership across product, engineering, and research to define long-term vision, drive roadmaps, and ship experiences that redefine what a financial product can feel like.

Job Responsibility

  • Define and uphold craft excellence for Core Experience — staying close to the details, leading critique, and ensuring every shipped experience meets the highest quality bar
  • Drive long-term vision, strategy, and roadmaps in partnership with senior product and engineering leadership
  • Lead and grow your team — mentoring designers, fostering accountability, and developing people across career stages and disciplines
  • Get hands-on with the most complex, ambiguous design challenges while empowering your team to deliver exceptional work independently
  • Build trusted partnerships with senior cross-functional peers, championing Design as a critical driver of business strategy
  • Drive adoption of emerging tools and AI-driven approaches that accelerate your team's craft and velocity

Requirements

  • 12+ years of experience in product design with a portfolio demonstrating exceptional craft, taste, and ability to make complex systems feel simple
  • Track record leading design teams, including experience as a player-coach — directing strategy while personally driving critical projects
  • Demonstrated ability to craft long-term vision and customer-focused strategies for products at scale
  • Deep expertise in designing consumer financial products or similarly complex, trust-dependent systems
  • Outstanding partnership and communication skills that inspire alignment across senior leadership, product, engineering, and research
  • Experience attracting, developing, and retaining strong design talent

What we offer

  • Remote work
  • medical insurance
  • flexible time off
  • retirement savings plans
  • modern family planning
