Job Description

Branch is on a mission to empower workers with financial freedom. We do this by helping companies accelerate payments and providing working Americans with accessible, free financial services. We’re committed to building and delivering more inclusive, transparent, and frictionless financial products.

Our goal of empowerment extends to our own employees, too. Have a great idea? Share it today and it might just get implemented tomorrow. As a member of our team, your voice and creativity matter—and they can directly impact our products, company, and culture.

We not only focus on attracting great talent from across the country, but also on building teams that help that talent thrive. That means valuing a diversity of opinions and working styles, while creating a shared belief in innovation, initiative, and winning together.  Come join our team as we develop new ways to improve the lives of working Americans.

What you’ll do:

• Lead design efforts on key projects and initiatives and be a strategic problem solver, conceptualizing non-obvious improvements that keep moving Branch forward.
• Rapidly produce multiple concepts and prototypes, understanding when deeper exploration is warranted and when it is best to change paths and try another approach.
• Translate complex ideas into elegant, scalable, and intuitive design solutions.
• Take into account existing insights, technical constraints, user and business needs, and specific platform demands to produce data-informed solutions.
• Execute at every stage of the design lifecycle from ideation to delivery, balancing innovation with usability.
• Collaborate with product managers, engineers, and cross-functional stakeholders to understand requirements and provide creative, thoughtful solutions.
• Be autonomous. You’ll take full ownership of your work and total responsibility for every last detail, every step of the way, from whiteboard sketching to high-fidelity final UI.

Who you are:

• Have at least 2+ years of experience designing interfaces, with a strong portfolio showcasing your web and mobile design skills.
• Strong understanding of mobile and web design best practices, plus solid visual design chops.
• Usability mindset that doesn’t shy away from complexity and finding clarity in ambiguous situations.
• Strong communication skills while working closely with partners across the company.
• Humble, curious, and motivated to ship the best product.
• Experience working in Figma and other industry-standard design/prototyping tools.
• Have an online portfolio or PDF that you can share with us. Applications without a portfolio are unlikely to be considered.

What will put you ahead:

• You have experience working with design systems.
