The Opportunity

Design at Abacum shapes how modern finance teams think, plan, and act. We’re looking for a Director of Design who thrives in complexity and can scale both systems and people.

This is a unique opportunity : you’ll take over from our current Director, who laid the foundation and is transitioning out after scaling the team and design practice. You’ll inherit a strong group of senior product designers and guide design through its next stage of evolution — from solid foundations to operational excellence, strategic influence, and brand expression.

You’ll report directly to the founder and collaborate closely with product, engineering, and marketing leadership.

Design Operations & Systems

  • Establish and continuously improve design processes, rituals, tools, and documentation
  • Maintain and evolve our Figma component library to support speed and cohesion
  • Champion the development of a scalable design system that reinforces UX consistency and accelerates delivery
  • Ensure quality through effective critique practices, heuristics, and shared design principles
  • Partner with product and engineering leadership to shape roadmap priorities and long-term direction
  • Create vision prototypes that align teams and surface new opportunities
  • Provide framing and feedback throughout the design process — from discovery to delivery
  • Identify system-level improvements across initiatives and drive scalable solutions

Advocacy & Influence

  • Represent the design team in cross-functional and company-wide forums
  • Champion user-centered and inclusive design thinking
  • Advocate for design’s role in building trust, clarity, and confidence in a complex product space

    • What You'll Bring

  • 10+ years of experience in Product Design, including 5+ years in a leadership role - Proven ability to lead senior ICs , build strong teams, and grow people - A portfolio that shows recent hands-on design contributions — from conceptual thinking to polished execution - Experience shipping complex SaaS products , ideally in B2B environments - Strategic thinking and strong product intuition — you’ve influenced roadmaps, not just screens - Proven collaboration skills across product, engineering, and executive leadership - Comfort with ambiguity and a passion for simplifying the complex - Bonus : experience in financial tooling, planning, or data-heavy domains
