Senior Product Designer

Join EY’s Financial Services Organization (FSO) PxD team to lead AI-first, human-centered product and experience design end to end.

Responsibilities

• Serve as design lead for a workstream.
• Collaborate with a multidisciplinary team including researchers, technologists, product managers, and engagement team members.
• Own workstream design from problem framing with the client through production-ready specifications engineers can build from.
• Act as the primary day-to-day design partner for the client and mentor junior designers.
• Use AI to accelerate framing, option generation, prototyping, and synthesis while staying accountable for client-facing decisions.
• Outside client engagements, support business development such as pursuits and proposals.
• Participate in practice-building activities, including mentoring colleagues and developing or delivering training.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in graphic design, UX Design, Interaction Design, Industrial or Product Design, or a related field, plus 3 years of progressive post-baccalaureate work experience; alternatively, a master’s degree with 2 years of work experience.
• Portfolio demonstrating end-to-end product design, including problem framing, interaction design, visual craft, and outcomes.
• Advanced proficiency in Figma, including prototyping, components, and contributing to a design system.
• Regular use of LLMs in the design process.
• Comfort using AI-assisted design and prototyping tools such as Claude, Cursor, or Figma Make.
• Experience designing complex, data-heavy, or workflow-driven products.
• Experience delivering in Agile teams using Jira or an equivalent tool.
• Outstanding written and verbal communication skills.
• Domestic and regional travel required up to 80% to support client needs.

Skills and attributes for success

• AI-first design craft: move from research, problem framing, user flows, and high-fidelity design to end-to-end production-ready Figma files.
• LLM and AI-assisted prototyping: use Claude, Cursor, and/or Figma Make to frame problems, generate first-pass options, build live-coded prototypes, iterate with users and stakeholders, and speed synthesis.
• Judgment and accountability: select the right problem, choose the right option, and review for accuracy, accessibility, bias, and brand before clients see results.
• Designing AI-enabled and agentic experiences: define handoff, supervision, and correction for what AI or agents produce.
• Designing trust for financial decisions (how users decide to trust AI output).
• Design uncertainty, confidence, error, correction, and handoff as explicit states.
• Avoid treating AI as a bolt-on chat overlay to an existing flow.
• Build explainability, transparency, and human-in-the-loop control from the start; escalate risks to the right owners when needed.
• Design systems: leverage, contribute to, and evolve client design systems and brand guidelines.
• Complexity: design data-heavy, role-based experiences used by internal and external teams.
• Agile delivery: collaborate and deliver in Agile teams using Jira and related platforms.
• Clear specifications: write specification-level clarity and acceptance criteria; adapt when requirements evolve during delivery.
• Research and outcomes: run lean research to keep work moving and align on success measures with product owners and stakeholders.
• Post-launch learning: monitor feature performance in use and propose improvements when necessary.
• Client communication: own day-to-day client relationship for the workstream; present clearly to engineers, product owners, and senior business stakeholders.
• Workshop facilitation and coaching: facilitate workshops and coaching so client teams can sustain the work after delivery.
