Product Designer (ghana)

Introduction to the role
In partnership with our client, we are seeking a Product Designer to serve as the architect of intuitive, high-trust user experiences for a fast-growing wealth-tech platform. You will play a pivotal creative and strategic role in shaping both the product experience and the broader visual identity of the brand across mobile and web. This is not just a delivery role. You will influence product strategy, establish strong design practices from day one, and help define how design operates across the organization. If you are a UX-first problem solver who can turn complex financial journeys into simple, beautiful, and reliable experiences while collaborating closely with product and engineering teams, we want to meet you.
Who are we looking for?

• You are a UX-first thinker who prioritizes research, behavior, and clarity over surface-level aesthetics.
• You are comfortable owning design end-to-end from discovery and research to final polish and delivery.
• You are a systems thinker who can create scalable design languages and processes, not just individual screens.
• You are confident influencing product direction and advocating for user-centric decisions with stakeholders.
• You are collaborative and thrive in cross-functional teams with engineers and product managers.
• You are highly detail-oriented, with a strong sense of ownership and pride in the quality of your work.
• You are comfortable working independently in a remote or hybrid environment while staying highly accountable.
  

Your Responsibilities...
UX Research & Discovery

• You will translate research findings into clear problem statements, feature scope, and measurable goals.
• You will analyze competitors and market trends to ensure the product remains best-in-class.
  

Product Design & Execution

• You will design beautiful, functional, and trustworthy interfaces across mobile and web platforms.
• You will create wireframes, prototypes, and high-fidelity designs that clearly communicate intent to engineering teams.
• You will collaborate closely with engineers to ensure pixel-perfect implementation.
• You will iterate continuously using usability data, feedback, and growth metrics to improve retention and engagement.
• You will contribute to UX writing, interaction design, and accessibility best practices.
  

Design Strategy & Systems

• You will help establish and maintain a consistent design system and visual language across the product.
• You will improve internal design workflows, processes, and collaboration practices to accelerate team efficiency.
• You will influence product strategy by advocating for user needs and substantiating design decisions with data and research.
• You will represent design in cross-functional discussions and ensure a high standard of execution across releases.
  

What Success Looks Like...

• Launch or redesign key product flows that significantly reduce user drop-offs and increase adoption.
• Establish a consistent research and testing cycle that informs the product roadmap.
• Deliver high-quality designs that ship on time and require minimal rework from engineering.
• Build scalable design systems that improve speed and consistency across teams.
• Contribute meaningfully to product strategy and elevate overall design quality across the organization.
  

To be considered for this role you should have...

• 3+ years of experience in Product Design (UI/UX) within fintech, SaaS, or other complex digital products.
• A strong portfolio demonstrating end-to-end design thinking and shipped products.
• Proven experience across all stages of the design process including research, wireframing, prototyping, visual design, interaction design, and usability testing.
• Mastery of tools such as Figma, Sketch, or Adobe XD.
• Experience collaborating closely with product managers and engineers in cross-functional teams.
• Strong attention to detail and a high level of ownership and accountability.
• Experience working in fast-paced startup or high-growth environments is strongly preferred.

• Designing for diverse users with varying financial literacy and device constraints.
• Maintaining high design quality while iterating rapidly in a fast-moving environment.

The Goodies...
