About The Position

Product Designer (Fidelity Labs – Fidelity Private Shares) Note: Fidelity will not provide sponsorship for this position. At Fidelity Private Shares, we empower business innovators by simplifying the complex logistics of running a startup. We provide the tools that help founders easily raise funds from investors and reward employees with equity ownership, handling the heavy lifting of compliance and paperwork so they can focus on innovating. Join us in championing the entrepreneurs who are building the businesses that will shape our future. Situated in Fidelity Labs, we blend the fast-paced, innovative culture of a tech startup with the rock-solid foundation of a Fortune 500 company. We tackle ambitious challenges—like democratizing private markets—with the creative freedom to fail fast and iterate, all while leveraging Fidelity’s vast network, data, and financial strength. It is an environment designed for builders who want to move at startup speed but demand the impact and reach of an industry leader. We are seeking a Principal Product Designer to drive customer and business outcomes during a critical and exciting period of growth for the team. In this role, you will thrive in ambiguous problem spaces, transforming complex financial concepts into straightforward, comfortable experiences for founders, their employees, legal counsel and other key users. You will own end-to-end success, focusing on measurable impact rather than just beautiful artifacts. You will collaborate closely with product, engineering, and customer success partners to define the path forward where one doesn't yet exist.
