About Aspora

People on the move deserve a bank that moves with them. Since 2022, Aspora has been building a borderless financial operating system that makes money as mobile and transparent as its users.

Backed by influential venture capitalists like Sequoia Capital, Greylock Partners, Hummingbird Ventures, Y Combinator & Global Founders Capital. We're a team of 75+ across India, the UK, the UAE, EU and the US, working with extreme ownership, radical candour, and an obsession with customer impact.

We celebrate builders who question assumptions, ship fast, and turn regulatory complexity into elegant solutions. If you're driven to redefine what global banking can be, we'd love to build the future with you.

About the Role

As Head of Product Design at Aspora, you'll lead and scale the design function responsible for delivering a world-class experience across our international fintech platform. You'll shape the future of our product experience - combining strategic vision with hands on design execution. This role is ideal for a design leader who thrives at the intersection of craft, systems thinking, and team leadership.

You'll guide a team of talented designers while remaining deeply involved in the product work yourself - roughly 60% individual contribution and 40% leadership and management. You'll partner closely with Product, Engineering, and Growth leadership to align design direction with business goals and customer needs in a fast paced, evolving environment.

What You Will Own
  • Lead and scale the Product Design function - from hiring and mentoring designers to defining team culture and design operations.

  • Drive the design vision and strategy for Aspora's platform, ensuring cohesive, human centered experiences across mobile (iOS/Android) and web.

  • Collaborate cross functionally with Product and Engineering leaders to define product direction, shape new features, and ensure design excellence from concept to launch.

  • Evolve and maintain Aspora's design system to balance speed, scalability, and brand consistency.

  • Champion user centered design, leading research initiatives, usability testing, and design critiques to continuously improve user experience.

  • Uphold and elevate design quality, ensuring best practices in accessibility, interaction design, and visual craft.

Who You Are
  • 8+ years of experience in product design, with at least 2 years in a lead or management capacity.

  • Proven track record of building, leading, and growing high performing design teams.

  • Strong end to end design skills, from user research and UX flows to high fidelity UI and prototyping (Figma or equivalent).

  • Deep understanding of design systems, responsive design, and modern UX principles.

  • Skilled at balancing strategy and execution - able to zoom out for long term design vision and zoom in to deliver pixel perfect experiences.

  • Excellent collaborator and communicator, able to influence stakeholders across disciplines.

  • Thrives in ambiguous, fast moving environments with a bias toward action and ownership.

Why Aspora?
  • Highly competitive salary

  • Professional development budget and learning stipends.

  • Wellness benefits and team bonding initiatives.

  • Equity package aligned with seniority and impact.

  • Opportunity to lead a foundational customer facing function in a fast growing fintech scale up.
