At Aptitude, we’re on a mission to change the way the world’s leading enterprises understand and grow their businesses. Our industry-leading finance data platform, Fynapse, helps organizations streamline their operations, unlock trusted insights and accelerate growth.
We’re proud to be building a global team of passionate and ambitious people who love solving complex challenges and making an impact. We celebrate diverse perspectives and believe that our differences make us stronger, smarter and more creative.
With our headquarters in London and offices in seven locations worldwide, we’re proud to partner with clients across four continents. Wherever you join us, you’ll be part of a global community shaping the next generation of finance technology.
We’re looking for a Product Designer who will take end‑to‑end ownership of a new product vertical within our digital product ecosystem. This is a high‑impact role responsible for shaping how our customers understand, manage, and operationalize workflows.
You will partner deeply with cross functional teams to design experiences that transform complex accounting logic into intuitive, trustworthy, and efficient tools.
If you thrive on complexity, enjoy breaking down ambiguous systems into elegant designs, and are excited by the intersection of finance and product experience, this role is for you.
What You’ll Do
Product Strategy & Discovery
· Lead design vision and execution for a new product area.
· Conduct user research with users and SME’s to uncover needs.
· Translate complex accounting requirements into usable product experiences.
· Collaborate with cross functional teams to define scope, prioritize iterations, and influence strategy.
Design Execution
· Own end‑to‑end design—from flows and wireframes to polished UI and functional prototypes.
· Create system‑level solutions that balance configurability, clarity, and accuracy.
· Design visualizations for revenue schedules, allocation models, contract structures, and period-based reporting.
· Ensure designs integrate well with the broader product ecosystem, patterns, and design system.
Cross‑Functional Collaboration
· Partner closely with SMEs to deeply understand domain requirements.
· Work with engineers to clarify edge cases, data models, and system constraints.
· Collaborate with the design team to contribute reusable patterns for financial workflows.
Facilitate workshops, design reviews, and alignment sessions across teams.
Quality & Outcomes
· Validate concepts through user testing, analytics, and iterative improvements.
· Ensure the product experience supports auditability, transparency, and compliance.
· Track and optimize metrics related to workflow efficiency, accuracy, and adoption.
· Maintain a high bar for product craftsmanship and interaction quality.
What You’ll Bring
· Strong portfolio demonstrating systems thinking, interaction design, and problem‑solving skills.
· Ability to distil complex, technical concepts into intuitive user experiences.
· Experience working on multi-step workflows, data modelling, or rule-based logic interfaces.
· Comfort collaborating with technical and non‑technical stakeholders.
· Proficiency in research methodologies, prototyping tools, and design collaboration practices.
· Ideally experience within complex systems (FinTech, SaaS, B2B platforms, ERP, financial software, or data-heavy tools).
· Bonus: Experience with accounting, billing, revenue recognition, payments, subscriptions, or financial reporting.
Why This Role Is Exciting
· You’ll shape a mission-critical pillar of our product with strong ownership and autonomy.
· You’ll solve deeply complex problems that directly impact customer operations and financial accuracy.
· You’ll work in a collaborative environment where design has a seat at the table.
