Start your adventure with Zip
We are Zip, a global Buy Now, Pay Later company providing fair and seamless solutions that simplify how millions of people pay.
Our purpose is unlocking financial potential, together. Our mission is to bring exceptional experiences, innovation, and partnership to every financial journey. We put the financial well-being of our customers and merchant partners at the heart of everything we do. As we evolve, AI is not just a product capability. It is a force multiplier for how we design, test, and deliver better outcomes.
In this role, you will act as a driver of AI adoption within Product Design and cross-functional teams. You will identify where AI accelerates insight, reduces operational friction, and increases design quality. You will experiment, implement, and scale new workflows. You will work across the stack, partnering with Product, Engineering, Data, Risk, and Compliance to ensure AI tools are used responsibly and effectively in discovery, experimentation, and execution.
This is not a passive contributor role. We are looking for someone who:
Identifies inefficiencies and proposes AI-enabled solutions
Builds confidence in new workflows with PM and Engineering partners before scaling them
Notices overlap or dependencies across initiatives and escalates alignment conversations
Implements change, not just suggests it
Interesting problems you’ll get to solve
Redesign design workflow using AI to accelerate research synthesis, ideation, and validation
Create repeatable AI-assisted frameworks for rapid prototyping and experimentation
Define best practices for AI-supported discovery, including insight generation and hypothesis development
Improve how we measure design impact by leveraging AI for pattern detection and signal extraction
Embed AI into cross-squad collaboration, enabling faster scoping and clearer trade-offs
Explore multiple design directions quickly using AI-assisted tools, then articulate trade-offs clearly
Identify where AI reduces manual effort in documentation, edge-case mapping, and system thinking
Build scalable processes for responsible AI use in regulated financial environments
Document complex systems clearly and onboard others into AI-enabled workflows
Participate in roadmapping and planning conversations, ensuring AI-driven efficiencies are factored into delivery models
Address post-launch issues by leveraging AI to analyze feedback and surface improvement opportunities
Help other designers and writers grow through skill shares and feedback on AI-assisted craft
Suggest and implement improvements to team culture and rituals that normalize experimentation

Requirements

• A portfolio demonstrating systems thinking and measurable impact, not just polished screens
• 5+ years of experience designing at scale in product, UX, or interaction design

• Experience leading lean experiments and validating hypotheses quickly
• Comfort exploring a breadth of options and articulating trade-offs clearly
• Experience documenting complex systems and onboarding others effectively
• Strong storytelling and presentation skills, with clear and concise written communication
• A clear, predictable design process that partners can rely on
• Ability to manage bandwidth and surface risks early
• An open mindset toward change, actively seeking opportunities to expand your skills
• Experience incorporating AI-powered tools thoughtfully into research, prototyping, documentation, or design operations
• A pragmatic understanding of how your work contributes to business outcomes and customer financial well-being
• Our values in your DNA: Customer First, Own It, Stronger Together, and Change the Game
