About the role

Payments is one of our most strategic product areas — directly shaping revenue, cost-to-serve, customer trust, and long-term scalability. The group owns everything from the core money movement platform powering the Perk ecosystem, through to customer checkout and subscription management experiences. It's a critical enabler for teams and product lines across Perk, meaning the work here has broad reach across the business For payments to unlock that potential, it needs to be reliable, easy to operate, and invisible to customers — a seamless experience that builds trust without friction.

At Perk, we build in small, empowered teams that move fast and care deeply about the quality of what they ship. As the Senior Product Designer in this group, you'll own the experience, quality, and vision across a key area of our payments product. You'll uncover real user problems, shape how they get solved, and drive execution with the craft and attention to detail that makes the difference between good and great — working closely with product and engineering to build experiences that are simple, considered, and built to last.

We're looking for someone with a proven track record in payments or payment-adjacent domains, who understands the nuance of building in a space where precision and user confidence go hand in hand.

What You’ll Do

  • Drive high-velocity execution in close collaboration with product and engineering, holding the bar on both craft and speed

  • Bridge user needs and business goals, making sure design has a clear voice in shaping what gets built and why

  • Conduct and synthesize user research to deeply understand customer problems, translating insights into clear, intuitive experiences that reduce complexity and guide users toward confident outcomes

  • Design experiences that help millions of employees and thousands of finance teams seamlessly manage expenses, cards, and invoice processing.

  • Prototype rapidly using tools like Claude and Cursor to explore interaction patterns early, accelerate decision-making, and shorten the path from idea to shipped product

  • Stay current on emerging AI trends and product patterns, building a clear point of view on what matters and bringing that perspective into how we design at Perk

  • Push design practice forward: championing the user inside the triad, contributing to a culture of high craft, and moving toward more iterative, AI-native ways of working

What You’ll Need

  • Experience that counts: 5+ years of product design experience at a fast-growing tech company. Experience with Expense Management, FinTech, or SaaS products is a strong plus.

  • Payments domain strength: Proven experience in at least one core payment area (e.g., payments processing & orchestration, payment methods, subscription management) and familiarity with financial concepts (e.g., reconciliation, invoicing).

  • Strong customer empathy and design thinking, with a passion to understand the business traveler's journey — from booking intent through spend management — and the friction points unique to managed travel

  • Strong customer empathy and design thinking

  • Fluency in data, using qualitative and quantitative signals to v
