Founding Product Designer / Design Lead (AI B2B Fintech Startup) - Dublin


Are you a senior designer who loves building things from the ground up? We’re looking for a founding-level product designer to join an ambitious early-stage AI B2B fintech startup backed by leading investors.


This is a unique opportunity to shape the product, the design culture, and the user experience from day one. You’ll be part of a small, scrappy team, working closely with the founders to turn ideas into reality.


What you’ll do:

  • Own the end-to-end product design process - from research and UX to visual design and prototyping.
  • Establish design principles, workflows, and systems for a rapidly scaling product.
  • Solve a real-world problem: help financial professionals leverage AI to automate complex workflows, make smarter decisions, and save time.
  • Make an outsized impact: your work will directly influence the product and company strategy.


What we’re looking for:

  • 5+ years in product design, shipping complex B2B products.
  • Comfortable taking ownership of design decisions and working in a fast-moving environment.
  • Strong portfolio demonstrating problem-solving, UX thinking, and polished visual design.
  • Thrives in ambiguity and enjoys building processes where none exist.


Why this role is exciting:

  • Founding-level opportunity: influence product, design culture, and company strategy.
  • Help solve a high-impact AI + finance problem that will transform how enterprises work.
  • Small, empowered team: your ideas matter and are implemented fast.
  • Generous chunk of equity, so you have skin in the game.


Salary

  • Flexible depending on experience - open to senior or principal/lead-level backgrounds.


Location

  • Hybrid - 2 days a week from the Central Dublin office.
