The Role

As a Product Designer at LearnLux, you’ll thrive at the intersection of craft, strategy, and systems.

This role requires a strong product mindset. You’ll deeply understand our users, the business, and the technical landscape—and use that knowledge to push our platform forward.

At LearnLux, great design is about creating experiences that drive engagement, build trust, and empower users to take action on their financial goals.
