  • We are seeking a Director of Product Design to lead and evolve Fenergo’s design function across our product portfolio. This is a senior role responsible for defining and driving a bold design vision, building a high-performing team, and embedding user-centric and workflow-centric thinking across the organisation.
  • You will play a critical role in reimagining both user experience and underlying workflows, simplifying complex financial processes into intuitive, scalable, and impactful B2B SaaS solutions. This includes working closely with clients and internal stakeholders to uncover pain points, challenge existing paradigms, and design future-state experiences.
  • You will partner closely with Product, Engineering, and Customer teams to shape product strategy, influence the roadmap, and deliver differentiated experiences for complex, data-rich financial workflows.
  • This is a unique opportunity to work on mission-critical software used by leading global financial institutions and to redefine how users interact with compliance and regulatory platforms in a modern SaaS fintech.
  • **Key Responsibilities **

  • - Reimagine end-to-end user journeys and operational workflows to simplify complex financial crime, onboarding, and regulatory processes
  • - Partner with clients and customer-facing teams to co-create solutions, deeply understanding user needs, pain points, and real-world constraints
  • - Lead, mentor, and scale a high-performing product design team, fostering a culture of innovation, ownership, and excellence
  • - Establish and evolve design processes, standards, and best practices, with a focus on outcome-driven and hypothesis-led design
  • - Champion user-centered and workflow-centric design, ensuring insights and data directly shape product direction
  • - Collaborate closely with Product and Engineering leadership to align vision with feasible, scalable delivery
  • - Drive the development and adoption of a robust, scalable design system that supports consistency and speed across the platform
  • - Ensure cohesive, intuitive experiences across complex, configurable, enterprise-grade SaaS products
  • - Act as a strategic partner at the executive level, advocating for design as a driver of business value and competitive advantage
  • - Measure and continuously improve design impact through user outcomes, workflow efficiency gains, and product metrics
