Lead Product Designer

Responsibilities

Own end-to-end design for a product squad — from discovery to shipped — covering consumer

financial journeys or B2B / merchant experiences depending on placement.

• Translate complex financial flows (KYC onboarding, payment initiation, wallet management,

settlement dashboards) into interfaces that feel simple and trustworthy to users.

• Partner closely with Product Managers to define design direction, challenge product assumptions,

and deliver high-quality solutions against tight delivery timelines.

• Design within regulatory and compliance constraints — KYC/KYB verification tiers, transaction limits,

AML disclosure requirements — without sacrificing usability.

• Build and maintain design components that scale across the Yassir FS product suite: consumer app

(iOS + Android), merchant portal (web), and agent interface.

• Produce thorough, developer-ready design handoffs and follow implementations closely to ensure

quality at launch.

• Present design work and rationale to product, engineering, and business stakeholders with clarity

and confidence.

• Conduct user research and usability testing; contribute insights that shape product decisions.

• Mentor and review the work of junior designers; help raise the design team's craft and standards.

• Champion accessibility and localisation — our users include French and Arabic speakers, and our

interfaces must work correctly in both LTR and RTL layouts.

• Participate in shaping the design culture, process, and standards at Yassir Financial Services.

Requirements

• 6+ years of experience designing digital products professionally, with a portfolio demonstrating

strong product thinking, visual craft, and the ability to handle complex flows.

• Experience in fintech, banking, payments, or a similarly regulated and complex product domain —

strongly preferred.

• Proven ability to design for complexity: multi-step financial flows, state-heavy UIs, data-heavy

dashboards, and thorough error/edge-case handling.

• Experience designing for iOS, Android, and web — native and responsive.

• Advanced proficiency in Figma, including component architecture, auto-layout, and design token

management.

• Experience building and contributing to design systems at scale.

• Deep understanding of iOS and Android design language, platform standards, and system

behaviour.

• High proficiency producing high-fidelity prototypes to communicate interaction design intent.

• Strong knowledge of design principles and the end-to-end product development process.

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English and Arabic (both required); French is a

significant plus.

• Comfortable in a high-ambiguity, build-from-scratch environment — you make good decisions with

incomplete information and adapt quickly.

• Experience designing for Arabic-speaking or French-speaking markets, including RTL layout

considerations, is a strong advantage.

• Degree in interaction design, computer science, or equivalent — or equivalent demonstrated

experience.

Previous experience at a high-growth fintech, digital bank, or payments company in MENA is an advantage.

Yassir Financial Services is a young domain inside a proven superapp — which means you get the

distribution and user base of an established platform, and the creative latitude of a team still writing its first

design principles. This role is based in Cairo, Egypt.
