Hi, we’re Trust & Will. We’re making estate planning simple, affordable, and accessible with a design-first approach and amazing customer support.

About the Role
We’re looking for an experienced UX Designer to work directly with our Product team on transforming the world of estate planning.
As part of the Product team at Trust & Will, you’ll be instrumental in optimizing and expanding our current product - giving us a leading edge in user experience and data-driven design.
