About the role
- You'll own design across Finch's entire surface area — product, brand, and the emerging AI experiences in between.
- Build the internal case management tools that make our legal ops team faster and more capable.
- Design law firm-facing portals that give partners real visibility and control over their cases.
- Shape client experiences that make a complicated legal process feel clear and navigable.
- Define how Finch shows up publicly — brand, marketing site, and visual identity.
- Establish our earliest design system, creating a shared language of quality across product, design, and engineering.
Requirements
- 4+ years as a founding or sole designer, or 7+ years in a senior/lead design role with broad ownership

- Proven ability to operate in 0→1 environments where the brief is rarely complete
- Ability to work across product, brand, and visual design without a dedicated team around you
- Experience designing for operations-heavy or workflow-driven B2B products (nice-to-have)
- Familiarity with AI surface design — particularly where trust, clarity, and error states matter (nice-to-have)
- Prior experience building or contributing to a design system from the ground up (nice-to-have)
Benefits
- 100% coverage for health, dental, and vision.
- 401(k) retirement plan.
- In-office snacks, drinks, and daily team lunches and dinners.
- Flexible PTO (we trust you to take the time you need).
