About the role
Wealthfront is looking for a staff product designer to lead design for our Growth team. In this role, you will focus on identifying and defining the most impactful opportunities for the Growth team and then handling design from exploration to iteration, shipping, and synthesizing insights to inform the next round of opportunities. You’ll collaborate with the other area leads and executives to define area strategy and focus. You’ll lead projects ranging from quick data-driven interaction and content experiments on Wealthfront’s core products to strategic initiatives tackling deep human problems like helping people discuss finances more comfortably or understand what risk actually means so they can confidently invest. Most importantly, you’ll drive significant positive impact for Wealthfront’s users and business.
Our Growth team is focused on learning what will drive real impact, not just incremental optimizations. To do this, we leverage qualitative research insights, product data, and business objectives to form hypotheses, and then figure out how to construct experiments that let us efficiently test and scale them. Success on the team requires a healthy mix of excellent design craft, a strong sense for the impact your work has on people’s lives, and an appreciation for scrappy experimentation.

About Wealthfront
Wealthfront started with the ambition to transform the investment advisory business, with the goal to unlock access to high quality investment advice for millions who were underserved by the traditional institutions. We built the first automated investment product that allows you to invest in a personalized portfolio of thousands of companies in seconds for a remarkably low fee; we then expanded into banking which made it remarkably easy for people to automate their finances end-to-end and eliminated the hassle of money management, all of which resulted in attracting more than $50 billion of our client’s hard earned savings, created the robo-advisor category and transformed the broader industry. And yet, we have a long way to go to achieve our mission to build a financial system that favors people, not institutions.
Wealthfront’s vision is to make it delightfully easy to build long-term wealth on your own terms. This vision is more relevant than ever because millions more people are getting into the market early and investing their hard earned savings in a handful of stocks. While this is a great way to start, it is inconsistent with building long-term wealth. We want to empower young investors to expand their horizon, and easily explore and execute on a wider range of investing strategies, make informed investment decisions that are consistent with their values and beliefs while also making it effortless to grow and compound their savings exponentially, that’s transformational to their lives and their long-term future.
