About the Role
Relay is a digital banking platform designed to empower self-made business owners with financial clarity and control.

As a Sr. Product Designer, you will shape the future of SMB banking and the design function at Relay, working closely with product managers and engineers to deliver impactful solutions.

- Raise the craft bar: Create elegant, intuitive, and aesthetically refined interfaces that make banking delightful, not daunting.
- Tell the story: Communicate design rationale through storytelling and artifacts that inspire clarity and alignment across product and engineering.
- Be a design leader: Give and solicit feedback in critique, mentor peers, and contribute to a culture of detail-obsession, openness, and continuous improvement

- Know how to own the design process end-to-end, from research and framing through to prototyping and iteration resulting in polished, production-ready design.
- Believe that great design comes from rigour, not shortcuts: you see research, analysis, and iteration as essential parts of creating high-quality work.
- Adapt your tools and methods to fit the stage of the project, and you share best practices with peers while experimenting with new approaches that advance the team’s capabilities.
- Bring a user-centered mindset, making decisions rooted in customer needs while balancing business goals.
- Are comfortable with complex systems and can simplify them into experiences that feel intuitive and trustworthy.
- Use both generative and evaluative research to frame problems and validate solutions, collaborating with product and data teams to ground designs in real insights.
