Lendio

Do you want to know why Lendio is an awesome place to work? It’s people like you. 

Seriously. 

As a company that puts a massive emphasis on work culture and community, we’re always looking for talented, dedicated, and good-spirited individuals to fill our open roles. When you work with us, you’ll find that we’re inclusive, we lift each other up, and try to have fun—even when we’re being professional. That combination, along with our desire to help small business owners find easy access to capital, is probably why we rank as one of Glassdoor’s Best Places to Work. When we say we care about people and their success, we actually mean it.

We’re a new business unit—think internal startup bolstered by an early-stage acquisition. We enjoy the backing of Lendio and share a few resources, but we behave like a startup with high autonomy and a mission to find product-market fit for a new line of products for lenders. We wear multiple hats and do what it takes to get the job done.

We are looking for a Senior to Principal UX Designer to help us launch a new suite of software products for lenders. We need an individual contributor who’s ready to discover, design, and test solutions to unmet needs. 

You’ll have direct access to lenders to conduct user research. You’ll be our first UX hire in this Business Unit, working closely with our Head of Product, a dedicated Product Manager, and a small team of engineers. You’ll report to our director of UX and have access to your peers from other Lendio business units to upskill your craft and seek independent feedback. You’ll lead the design of several new products and help to grow a team of designers over time, with expectations of moving into a manager role as the team grows.
