We are seeking a visionary, hands-on Director of Product Design to lead the design of Airwallex's developer platform. You will own the design strategy and execution for our end-to-end developer experience, spanning our APIs, SDKs, developer tools, documentation, ecosystem integrations, and whitelabel customer management tools. You'll partner closely with product and engineering leaders across the company and high-performing team of product designers focused on world-class developer experiences that power a thriving embedded finance and partner ecosystem. Responsibilities Product & Design Strategy - Define a clear, opinionated design strategy for how customers understand and use cash, high-yield, and credit accounts, and inter-account transfers as their organisation grows. - Partner with PM leaders to frame problems, prioritise opportunities, and ensure design is embedded early in product strategy, not only at execution time. - Establish moving money into, within, and out of Airwallex as a user experience foundation that other product areas (e.g. Spend management, Subscription billing, etc.) can build on top of. Design Leadership & Execution - Lead end-to-end experience design: Oversee research, object modeling, interaction design, research and testing, and UI design for your team's products and features. - Raise the quality bar: Set and maintain a world-class standard for UX and UI quality in complex, data-rich screens (e.g. tables, charts, reconciliation views, approvals), ensuring work is robust and polished across desktop, mobile web, and native mobile apps. - Drive a rigorous discovery and validation practice: Ensure your teams use research, experimentation, and product analytics to understand customer behaviour. - Build a collaborative, growth-oriented design practice: Help shape the rituals, feedback practices, and shared standards that keep designers connected across regions and domains. - Integrate with design systems and platform patterns: Collaborate with the design system team to ensure your team's experiences use and extend shared patterns. People Leadership & Org Building - Lead and grow a high-performing design team: Manage and develop senior and staff-level product designers across our London and Singapore design studios, setting clear expectations for impact, craft, and ownership. - Create healthy, effective design-product-engineering partnerships: Develop ways of working that make collaboration with PMs and engineers productive, with design engaged from problem framing through to launch and iteration. Requirements - Experience: 12+ years in product / UX design with significant time spent on complex, system-heavy products (e.g. B2B SaaS, developer platforms, financial or payments products). 4+ years leading designers, including managing senior designers or design managers. - Domain knowledge: Experience with developer platforms, APIs, SDKs, and technical tooling in fintech, payments, or financial infrastructure, ideally with exposure to embedded finance. - Design craft & systems thinking: Deep strengths in interaction design, information architecture, and UX for complex workflows and data-heavy products. Able to think at both the screen and system level: flows, states, permissions, object relationships, and edge cases. - Leadership & influence: Proven ability to set vision, align stakeholders, and lead multi-quarter initiatives that cut across multiple domains and teams. Comfortable debating trade-offs with senior product and engineering leaders, and advocating for customer outcomes with clarity and pragmatism. - Data- and research-informed: Familiar with partnering closely on user research and quantitative analysis to inform decisions, validate designs, and measure impact. - Communication & storytelling: Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to make complex financial and technical concepts accessible to diverse audiences. - Adaptability: Thrives in a fast-paced, high-growth environment with evolving priorities and ambiguous constraints. Nice to Haves - Background working with API products and developer-facing experiences. - Degree in Design, HCI, Computer Science, or a related field. Working at Airwallex - We work in a hybrid model, with teams collaborating in-office and remotely across regions. - Airwallex is a high performance, high responsibility, high impact workplace where you'll be expected to take ownership and ship meaningful work. - If you're excited to design the financial operating system for modern businesses and lead a pivotal part of that experience, we'd love to hear from you.
