Plenti is hiringDigital Product Designer
Why Plenti?
We believe the financial system has become bloated and inefficient, and are using technology and data to give value - and power - back to the consumer. When it comes to money, every decision counts. From what you borrow, and when you pay it back. To where you invest it, and how you make it go further.
We’re on a mission to help everyone to make the right choices — about the choices that count.
The ambition is huge and the only way we can do this is by bringing the best people in the world to help us get there. That's where you come in.
Who are we?
Australia's best technology-led consumer lending and investing platform. We are on a mission to challenge the status quo of lending institutions because financial services should be more rewarding for all Australians. This commitment shows in our results including: Reaching $850 million in lending; Over 70,000 investors/borrowers; Over 100 employees.
As a passionate Digital Product Designer you will help us create exceptional experiences across our online products and self-service channels. Working closely with product managers, engineers, system analysts, you’ll deliver detailed UX and UI designs for each initiative that you work on.
We want someone who knows you can’t truly understand a customer problem without getting in front of them, someone who is driven to understand the market and is constantly looking at new opportunities for growth.
You have the luxury of bringing your own individual strengths to this role which will empower you to dive into the deep-end and do what is necessary to succeed. You will thrive in a flexible and diverse environment that craves leaders to improve the way things get done with a no-fear, can-do attitude.
A typical day for you may look like this…
- Collaborating closely with the Product team and other business stakeholders to understand our customers’ needs and ensure we are solving the right problems.

- Illustrating and communicating design solutions across complex use cases by creating and documenting user journeys, mock-ups and prototypes.
- Taking a pragmatic and iterative approach and understand that not all requirements can be delivered at once - you can hone in on what’s essential to meet user needs and deliver business value.
- Rapidly producing multiple concepts and prototypes to test out ideas with customers and stakeholders - you know when to make low-fi sketches and when pixel perfection is required.
- Advising front-end engineers on UI implementation best practices
- Working closely with UX designers, product managers and software engineers to implement versatile front-end solutions to tricky web development issues
