Dave vs. Goliath. We’re Dave.

Dave is a financial app on a mission to build products that level the financial playing field. It is redefining the financial landscape by leveraging technology to create an affordable, transparent, and user-centric access to liquidity for millions of Americans. As a leading innovator in the U.S. financial services sector, Dave’s digital financial platform offers products designed to meet the credit needs of those underserved by traditional financial institutions. Dave’s offerings include its flagship ExtraCash product, providing members up to $500 in short-term advances within minutes. The company is on track to launch several new product offerings in 2026, including a Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) option.

Dave is focused on serving Americans who are financially vulnerable or living paycheck to paycheck. Dave is leading the charge in creating a new era of credit products that prioritizes speed, affordability, and accessibility, making it the go-to financial partner for those who need it most.

We’re hiring a Lead Product Designer to help take new ideas from zero to real features and products in members’ hands.

The opportunity

You’ll lead design for new products and feature iterations, turning ambiguous problems and emerging opportunities into clear, shippable experiences. You’ll partner closely with Product, Engineering, Research, and Growth to explore ideas, define direction, and launch products that can scale to millions of members.

No direct reports—but real leadership, real influence, and real responsibility for what gets built.

What you’ll build and own

• End-to-end design for new products and foundational features, from early exploration and concepting through launch and iteration

• Discovery work that helps teams identify the right problems to solve—framing opportunities, testing assumptions, and shaping product direction early

• Design direction for new initiatives with the potential to become major product lines

• Experiences that balance speed, clarity, and trust, especially in moments where members are making important financial decisions

• Product strategy alongside Product and Engineering, contributing to goals, success metrics, roadmaps, and sprint commitments

• Clear design narratives that help cross-functional teams align, make trade-offs, and move forward with confidence

• Mentorship and craft guidance for other designers, helping raise the bar for early-stage thinking and execution

The impact

You’ll help define Dave’s future product portfolio. The work you lead will determine which ideas make it to market, how members experience them for the first time, and which products earn trust and long-term adoption. Your decisions will shape both member outcomes and Dave’s next phase of growth.

What we’re looking for

Experience and skills

• 8+ years of product design experience in fintech or other scaled consumer product environments

• Strong experience taking products or major features from idea to launch

• A portfolio that demonstrates 0 → 1 thinking, strong craft, and the ability to evolve ideas over time

• Deep expertise in mobile app design

• Strong visual design sensibility paired with practical UX judgment

• Fluency in Figma and modern design workflows

• Clear, confident communication with Product, Engineering, Research, and other cross-functional partners

Bonus

• Experience designing financial products with ongoing member relationships (credit, banking, subscriptions, or similar)

• Exposure to products serving gig workers or people with non-traditional income
