Job details:
Designation - Director Of Product Design.
Immediate joiner preferred.
Location:- Mumbai
Experience:- 8-10 years
At Billeasy, we're not just building a team, we're building a troop.
No mass hiring. No revolving door. Just real people, real passion, and a place you can actually grow.
We're looking for a design leader who isn't just chasing the next title. We want someone who's ready to stick around for at least 3 years, build with us, lead with us, and maybe even cry happy tears with us when we hit those big milestones.
✨ What you'll get:
- A team that feels like family (minus the weird WhatsApp forwards)
- A real seat at the table where product strategy is set, not a downstream execution role
- Trust, responsibility, and room to grow
- Honest feedback and a lot of learning
- Occasional bad jokes, but we're working on it
✨ Who you are:
- Committed, curious, and ready to own design at Billeasy end-to-end
- Not afraid of responsibility, or group lunch plans
- A leader who still loves the craft, and a craftsperson who is ready to lead
- Looking to build something long-term, not just update your LinkedIn headline
If you're tired of the short stints and want a workplace that actually feels like home, we'd love to meet you.
Job Description:
We are seeking a seasoned and visionary Director of UX/UI Design to lead the design function at Billeasy. In this senior leadership role, you will own the design vision, strategy, and execution across our product portfolio across transit ticketing, retail POS, and digital payments. You will build and mentor a high-performing design team, set the bar for craft and quality, and partner with founders, Product, and Engineering as an equal stakeholder in shaping what we build. You will translate complex financial and transactional flows into intuitive, accessible, and trustworthy experiences, and ensure every designer who works with you grows faster than they expected to.
Key Responsibilities
- Define and own the long-term UX/UI vision and design strategy for Billeasy's product portfolio, aligned with business and growth goals.
- Lead, mentor, and grow the design team. Hire designers and researchers, run 1-on-1s, conduct performance reviews, and build a structured design career ladder.
- Drive the end-to-end UX design process for high-stakes flows (KYC, payments, refunds, dispute resolution), personally reviewing critical work before it ships.
- Own and evolve the Billeasy design system in Figma, including components, tokens, patterns, and accessibility standards, ensuring consistency across all products.
- Stand up a repeatable user research practice (qualitative and quantitative): discovery interviews, usability testing, post-launch tracking within the financial domain.
- Translate complex requirements, user flows, and financial data into clean, intuitive, and easy-to-use interfaces.
- Partner with Product Managers, Engineers, Data Analysts, and Marketing as an equal stakeholder to define product requirements and deliver polished, user-friendly solutions.
- Use data analytics and user feedback to inform design decisions and iterate on features to improve key metrics like conversion, engagement, retention, and user satisfaction.
- Champion UX best practices across the organization; build a critique culture that raises the bar without bruising egos.
- Clearly articulate and present design rationale and vision to founders, clients, partners, and stakeholders at every level of the company.
- Set and track design OKRs tied to product and business outcomes; run sprint cadences, design reviews, and quarterly planning for the team.
Requirements:
- 8 to 10 years of product design experience, with at least 3 years leading designers (lead, manager, or director).
- A portfolio with 2 to 3 deeply shipped products you can walk us through end-to-end: research, decisions, trade-offs, and outcomes.
- Demonstrated experience in fintech, payments, banking, insurance, or similarly regulated and high-trust domains.
- Mastery of Figma (Mandate). Working knowledge of prototyping tools like Protopie, Figma prototyping, Sketch, or Adobe XD.
- Strong foundation in design systems. You have built or substantially evolved at least one at production scale.
- Hands-on user research experience: you can run a usability test yourself, not just brief a vendor.
- Proven track record of mentoring designers from junior to mid, and mid to senior, with references who can vouch for it.
- Strong written and verbal communication. You can write a design rationale doc that an engineer, a PM, and a founder all understand.
- Comfort being the senior-most designer in the room, and equally comfortable rolling sleeves up in Figma when the moment calls for it.
- Calm under ambiguity. Fintech timelines move; you move with them without losing the user.
- Good-to-have: experience designing for hardware-software integrated systems (POS devices, kiosks, ticketing machines), low-internet or regional-language users, and WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility standards.
Benefits:
- Modern and cozy office space designed with your comfort in mind, equipped with state-of-the-art technology, large monitors, and Apple products, creating a delightful workspace you'll love coming to every day.
- Fuel your creativity and productivity with premium coffee machines, a well-stocked pantry, and dedicated staff that ensure you stay energized and motivated throughout the day.
- Embrace the spirit of collaboration with other teams, as we foster a close-knit work culture that encourages cross-departmental synergy and celebrates the collective achievements of the Billeasy family.
- Enjoy regular team-building activities, social events, and celebrations that add a dash of excitement and create lasting memories, making your time at Billeasy both enjoyable and fulfilling.
- Access to cutting-edge technologies and projects that challenge your skills and keep you at the forefront of the industry, ensuring your professional growth and keeping your passion ignited.
- Monthly wellbeing counseling session, Open Door HR sessions, and one company-approved learning course every 6 months, because we mean it when we say we care about your growth.
