In 2017, our founders started Sarwa due to a lack of financial services offered to most of the world, and out of a need to help empower people in the region to invest in their financial future. Sarwa is poised to continue growing into the go-to platform for people to grow their wealth.
We do this through expert, affordable and easy investing. We're a small team working on the region's first and fastest growing investment and personal finance platform, making investing easy, low-cost and transparent, with a human touch woven into every step of the process.
We are a remote-first team. Where you choose to work is up to you — we have an office in Dubai and Abu Dhabi that you can utilize as often or little as you'd like.
We’re looking for a Product Designer to help shape Sarwa’s product strategy and vision. You will be accountable for every feature you design - from the very first sketch through to implementation, you’ll drive all stages of the design process.
To thrive in this role, you'll need strong UI/UX thinking, collaboration skills, and a keen eye for visual design. As a senior member of the team, you will partner closely with product and engineering to define, iterate, and evolve critical features from concept to launch.
This might be a right fit if you:
- Have a 4+ years of experience in fast-paced creative environments.
- Experience in all phases of the design process including user research, copywriting, wire-framing, prototyping, visual design, interaction design, and usability testing.
- A compelling portfolio of work that demonstrates high-quality design work and also tells a story that you are a deep design thinker.
- Have a well trained eye for great visual design execution - one pixel off is a big deal to you.
- A strong ability to communicate your thinking and design decisions (visually and written) - you’re able to get people along on the journey with you.
- Excellent teamwork skills that enable you to thrive in cross-functional work.
- Experience with design and prototyping tools (e.g., Sketch, Invision, Figma, etc.,).
- Ability to collect and interpret both qualitative and quantitative feedback.
- An interest in mentoring others in their professional development as designers.
Some of what you’ll do:
- Define the user experience, interactions, and user interface through user flows, information architecture, sketches and wireframes, and visual design.
- Get leadership buy-in, share customer insights and areas of improvement through research and data visualization
- Build functional prototypes to validate and test designs
- Develop product marketing content to support the marketing team in creating the designs for product launches
- Help create and maintain visual and brand consistency between all products and outlets
- Mentor and coach junior designers helping them grow in their development.
- Stay up to date on current industry trends and market conditions.
Some of our benefits:
- Remote and flexible work environment.
- Diverse, driven and supportive team with a positive work atmosphere (one of our core values).
- Market-competitive salaries.
- A culture of growth - being mentored, coached and supported to grow in your career.
- Great company healthcare package with dental and optical coverage.
- Learning and development budget.
- Equity plan for all employees.
- Initial Interview (20 minutes)
- Take-home assignment (4-5 hours)
- Deep Dive Interview with CPO (resume review + assignment review - 90 minutes)
- Final Interview with CEO (45 minutes)
Sarwa is dedicated to hiring a diverse workforce with varied experiences, perspectives and opinions. We believe diversity helps our team excel and enables us to build outstanding products for our customers.
