🚀 Role Summary

• Lead the end-to-end design process for Peratera's Digital Wallet product, encompassing discovery, user flows, and final UI.

• Create intuitive and user-friendly experiences for B2B clients, administrators, and internal operations teams within a complex fintech environment.

• Actively contribute to product strategy and roadmap decisions by representing design in cross-functional discussions.

The "Lead" title implies significant autonomy and responsibility for setting design direction.

• Ensure that the design of financial products adheres to regulatory requirements and compliance standards where applicable.

📝 Enhancement Note: The responsibilities emphasize a blend of strategic input and hands-on execution, typical for a lead role in a growing fintech startup. The focus on "internal operations teams" suggests a need for designing back-office tools as well as customer-facing interfaces.
