Branch Overview
Branch is a leading AI-based lending fintech with 50M+ downloads across India and Africa.  We use alternative data to reach millions of people that are largely excluded from the financial sector.
Headquartered in Silicon Valley with operations in India, Nigeria and Kenya, Branch is a for-profit, socially conscious company built for scale and impact. Our mission-driven team—founded and led by the former CEO of Kiva.org—now spans 400+ employees globally. We’re backed by investors such as Andreessen Horowitz, Visa, and the IFC.

Job Overview
You'll design financial experiences that reach millions of people across India and Africa who've been largely excluded from traditional banking. Working within our global design team and closely aligned with Growth, you'll own end-to-end design across our core products: wallets, savings, loans, rewards, and debit cards.
This role sits at the intersection of craft and impact. You'll design experiences that help users discover Branch, activate quickly, and build lasting financial habits — from onboarding flows and referral programs to conversion optimization across the funnel. You'll experiment fast, measure what works, and iterate based on data. If you're energized by measurable outcomes and believe great design can turn first-time users into lifelong advocates, this is the role for you.

Responsibilities

• Own design end-to-end: Lead projects autonomously from PRD to engineer handoff — user flows, wireframes, hi-fi mockups, prototypes, usability testing, and design QA. You ship work, not files.
• Design for acquisition, activation, and retention: Own onboarding, monetization, and referral experiences that help users understand Branch's value quickly and turn them into advocates.
• Experiment rapidly with data-informed iteration: Work in quick cycles — test hypotheses, ship experiments, define KPIs, and iterate based on A/B results, funnel analysis, and user behavior patterns.
• Deeply understand our customers: Collaborate with UX Researchers on foundational and formative research. Translate insights into designs that work for customers with varying levels of financial and digital literacy.
• Partner cross-functionally: Work with Product Managers, Engineers, User Researchers, and Marketers to drive growth initiatives from concept to launch. Communicate clearly across globally distributed teams.
• Leverage AI to accelerate your work: Use AI tools fluently — for ideation, prototyping, content generation, and building functional demos. Explore emerging capabilities like MCPs, generative AI, and AI agents.
• Strengthen our design system: Contribute to our design system's evolution — ensuring consistency and scalability across products and markets.

Qualifications

• Experience
  • 3+ years of product design experience with shipped consumer products — fintech or mobile-first apps strongly preferred
  • Demonstrated ability to design simple, intuitive experiences at scale across diverse user contexts
  • Experience with Android and Web design patterns for consumer-facing products
• Growth Design
  • Track record designing for growth: onboarding, conversion-focused features, referral mechanics, and user education
  • Experience with experimentation — running A/B tests, interpreting results, and iterating based on learnings
  • Familiarity with growth metrics and funnel thinking (acquisition, activation, retention, referral, revenue)
• Craft & Execution
  • Proficiency in Figma 
  • Strong visual design skills with excellent attention to detail
  • Motion design and micro-interaction skills are a plus
• AI × Design Fluency
  • Actively use AI tools and LLMs  to augment ideation, copywriting, asset generation, or research synthesis
  • Comfortable vibe-coding with tools like Figma Make, Lovable, Cursor, or similar to prototype functional experiences
  • Curious about emerging AI capabilities in design workflows
• Mindset & Collaboration
  • You balance craft with velocity — knowing when to polish and when to ship
  • Strong communication skills; you present clearly and listen well
  • Comfortable with ambiguity and changing priorities in a fast-paced startup
  • Resourceful and scrappy — you've done a lot with lean teams
• Education
  • Bachelor's degree in HCI, Product Design, Interaction Design, Architecture, or related field (or equivalent practical experience)

Benefits of Joining
