Principal Product Designer, Core Transfer

At Remitly, we believe everyone deserves the freedom to access, move, and manage their money wherever life takes them. Since 2011, we've tirelessly delivered on our promise to customers sending money globally, providing secure, simple, and reliable ways to manage their money, ensuring true peace of mind. Whether it's supporting loved ones back home, growing a business across continents, or pursuing new opportunities abroad, we’re not just here to move money — we’re here to move our global customers forward.

• Set and drive the design vision
• Define and evangelize a compelling North Star vision for the end‑to‑end remittance experience — from home screen through transfer setup and post‑submit — with impact that spans organizational and squad lines.
• Lead the navigation architecture and interaction language for the transfer flow: the patterns, hierarchy, and systems‑level decisions that make a complex multi‑step financial transaction feel simple, trustworthy, and fast.
• Spot and influence strategic design opportunities even outside your immediate squad scope, proactively identifying IA improvement opportunities across Remitly’s core product surfaces.
• Simplify and unify systems where appropriate to tame complexity — you can justify exceptions, understand their consequences, and make confident design decisions even when systems are not yet documented.
• Lead and elevate the design community
• Serve as the embedded lead designer for the Transfer Flow squad, owning discovery through delivery — and as the UX leadership voice for Home & Explore, Recipient & Payment Experiences, and Post Submit.
• Be a recognized authority on interaction design standards across Remitly, defining and elevating best practices so that intuitive, accessible, and inclusive experiences are delivered consistently at scale.
• Act as a go‑to advisor and coach for designers across Global Design — mentoring on craft, reframing tricky problems in design reviews, and helping others elevate their work.
• Inspire the organization with the value of great design, sometimes attracting top talent who want to learn from you and the standards you set.
• Influence processes across teams and handle highly conflicting feedback effectively — finding common themes and helping cross‑functional groups align on direction.
• Execute with craft and drive outcomes
• Deep‑dive into any product surface when the work demands it — you are equally comfortable setting architectural direction for the full transfer flow and solving a nuanced interaction problem on a single screen.
• Translate customer research, quantitative signals, and business strategy into design decisions that improve conversion, send volume, and customer trust, grounding your work in qualitative and quantitative evidence.
• Prototype fluently and quickly; produce flows, wireframes, and full‑fidelity designs that are thorough across all interaction details and ready for engineering handoff.
• Partner closely with Product Managers, Engineers, Researchers, and Content Designers — regularly writing documents (decision memos, design rationale, research synthesis) that contribute to pivotal product decisions.
• Drive solutions to some of the company’s biggest experience challenges, consistently prioritizing the highest‑impact work and enabling those around you to do the same.

• 10+ years of product design experience, with a portfolio demonstrating shipped, customer‑facing work on consumer mobile products at scale.
• Deep expertise in mobile consumer product design — particularly complex, multi‑step transactional flows where navigation clarity, interaction quality, and trust are central to the experience.
• Demonstrated success in owning end‑to‑end experiences: setting design vision for an entire product journey, not just individual features or screens.
• A strong, developed point of view on navigation patterns, information architecture, and interaction design for native mobile — you can articulate why your choices work and what trade‑offs you made.
• Experience providing design leadership across multiple squads or product areas, influencing without authority and embedding design thinking into how decisions get made across…
