About Finom
Finom is a European tech startup headquartered in Amsterdam, and we’re on a journey towards revolutionizing the financial landscape for entrepreneurs worldwide. Our mission is to develop an all-in-one financial B2B solution that integrates banking functions, accounting, financial management, and invoicing into a seamless, mobile-first platform.
We recently closed a €115 million Series C equity round (around $133 million), bringing our total funding to approximately $346 million. This significant investment follows a $105 million growth funding round from General Catalyst, a long-term backer since 2021 known for supporting companies like Airbnb, HubSpot, KAYAK, and Stripe.
Finom's platform goes beyond traditional banking, offering invoicing and a growing suite of features, including AI-enabled accounting, aiming to simplify financial management for entrepreneurs. We're actively expanding our reach across key EU markets like Germany, France, the Netherlands, Italy, and Spain.
At Finom, we’re not just redefining the entrepreneurial experience — we’re empowering our employees to make a real difference. Your work matters, and your impact extends far beyond product metrics. We nurture innovation and an inspiring work environment where bold ideas thrive, prioritizing thorough research, swift implementation of solutions, and ensuring that every effort we make benefits our users, employees, partners, and our business as a whole.
Maintaining our start-up spirit, we prioritize thorough research, swift implementation of solutions, and ensuring that every effort we make benefits our users, employees, partners, and, of course, our business.
Finom is looking for a Principal Product Designer to set the design direction for Core Experience — the foundational product surface used across our platform by every customer. This is a senior individual-contributor role: no direct reports, but real scope to define what "good" looks like and prove it in shipped product. You'll work alongside Product Managers, Engineers, Analysts, and Research to turn complex financial workflows into experiences that are simple, accessible, and consistent at scale.
What You’ll Do
- Own design across the full product lifecycle, from discovery and problem framing to final implementation, QA, and polish.
- Turn complex fintech and SMB workflows into clear, user-centered experiences, using research, product data, and customer feedback to guide decisions.
- Collaborate closely with Product Managers, Engineers, Analysts, and fellow Designers to scope work, define outcomes, and ship high-quality solutions.
- Create essential design artifacts including flows, wireframes, prototypes, high-fidelity mockups, and clear product specs.
- Contribute to our design system and product quality bar, improving consistency, accessibility, scalability, and craft across the interface.
- Support high-priority initiatives such as modular pricing, onboarding UX transformation, and AI Copilot features.
Who You Are
- 5+ years in product design, including experience setting direction beyond your own individual work.
- A portfolio that shows both strong craft and clear, defensible reasoning — not just polished screens.
- Hands-on experience designing native mobile app products (iOS/Android)
- Proven ability to design complex, multi-state platforms (permissions, edge cases, cross-team dependencies).
- Comfortable challenging and being challenged by Product, Engineering, and Research using data and business context.
- Fluent professional English.
Nice to Have
- Fintech background (industry experience overall isn't required — fintech specifically is a plus).
- German fluency, or experience designing for German-speaking users.
- AI tools as a working habit (e.g. rapid prototyping, research synthesis) — not a buzzword.
Hiring Process
-
Step 1: Async Portfolio Review — We review your portfolio link and one written response to assess craft and design quality before scheduling any calls.
-
Step 2: Hiring Manager Call — A video chat with VP of Design focusing on your ownership, drive, and collaborative style.
-
Step 3: Take-Home Assignment — A practical Finom product case study (3–5 days turnaround) evaluated for strategic thinking, user insights, and design execution.
-
Step 4: Live Presentation & Cross-Functional Interview — A full walkthrough and Q&A with design and product leads.
