About Us

We are a proudly NZ owned award-winning KiwiSaver and Wealth manager. Since inception, our goals have been to educate and empower our customers to help them make good financial decisions and to provide them with strong long-term performance. To date, we have achieved both of those goals and we are relentlessly focused on these goals for the future. Ultimately, we exist to grow Kiwi’s wealth and help them achieve materially better financial outcomes in retirement.

We are a business that cares about making this difference and our people play a key role in bringing our mission to life. We encourage our people to bring their ideas to the table and empower them to lead initiatives that will positively impact our business, community, and members.

About The Role

As our Senior Product Designer you will help shape intuitive, engaging B2C digital experiences that make managing and growing wealth easier for New Zealanders.

You’ll take ownership of the end-to-end design process, from customer discovery and problem-solving through to design, delivery and continuous improvement. Working closely with Product Managers and Engineers, you’ll turn complex challenges into simple, seamless customer experiences that balance user needs with commercial outcomes.

This is an opportunity to influence product direction, champion exceptional design, mentor other designers and make a meaningful impact on the digital experience we deliver to our customers.

You can expect your day to day to look something like this:

• Lead end-to-end product design: Own the design process from customer discovery and research through to prototyping, testing, delivery and continuous improvement.
• Solve complex customer problems: Turn complicated financial information and workflows into simple, intuitive and engaging digital experiences.
• Shape product direction: Collaborate with Product Managers and Engineers to identify opportunities, challenge assumptions and influence product decisions.
• Create exceptional user experiences: Design high-quality customer journeys, combining strong UX thinking, interaction design and visual craft.
• Research and validate: Conduct user research and usability testing, using customer insights and data to inform design decisions.
• Collaborate to deliver: Work closely with engineering teams to bring designs to life, ensuring quality, consistency and accessibility.
• Champion design excellence: Contribute to design systems, share best practices and mentor other designers to lift overall design capability.
• Drive innovation: Explore emerging technologies and AI tools to improve design processes, efficiency and customer outcomes.
