Senior Product Designer, Community Building

Acorns is a financial wellness app that helps everyday people and families save and invest money for the long term. As the Senior Product Designer on the Community product team, you will design engagement features and mechanics to enhance user experience and drive organic growth.

Responsibilities:

• Design the engagement loops, sharing moments, and habit-forming mechanics that get people genuinely hooked on saving and bring Acorns into their households
• Set the quality bar for the Community product including the micro-interactions, the feel, and the delight on a team where design is a competitive advantage
• Create a product experience that brings to life the central idea of Acorns - from tiny acorns mighty oaks do grow - and feels natural, trustworthy, and alive for a diverse audience that is often new to investing
• This team moves fast and ships, learns by building, and you’ll be central to how quickly we find what works
• Operate with agility together with engineering and product to make sure design intent survives to production, every time

Requirements:

• Designed engagement or retention features at a social, gaming, or high-growth consumer app (streaks, sharing flows, social proof, habit loops) and can point to outcomes
• Owned the full design process end-to-end: discovery, concept, high-fidelity design, and shipped product
• Translated ambiguous briefs into sharp, opinionated product directions without waiting to be told what to build
• Sweated the smallest details across all areas of the product and pushed back when implementation fell short of the intent
• Worked on a small, cross-functional team with high ownership and low process overhead
• Built or contributed to a design system that scaled across a product
