About

is how PhonePe is rebuilding trading and investing for India. Its a full-stack broking platform stocks F&O ETFs mutual funds IPOs and WealthBaskets with a research and intelligence layer (factor analysis on every stock expert-curated baskets) sitting on top. Its a separate app from the main PhonePe one and its backed by PhonePes reach trust and distribution.

This is a hard interesting design problem. Youre working with regulated financial products real money and a spectrum of users that runs from a first-time investor buying their first stock to an active trader running F&O strategies. The job is to make something genuinely powerful feel calm and trustworthy not to bolt more features onto a busy screen.

The role

Youll own design for end to end. Today that means you the craft and a close partnership with product and engineering this is a hands-on leadership role not a manage-from-a-distance one. As the product grows youll build and lead the team around it.

Youll set the design direction ship the work yourself when it matters and be the person accountable for the quality of the experience. Youll report to the Head of Design (PhonePe Group) and work alongside the broader PhonePe design org but design is yours to own.

What youll do

• Own the experience. Set the bar for what good looks like on and hold it. Strategy flows visual craft microcopy youre accountable for all of it.
• Ship dont just direct. Get into the file. Design the hard screens yourself. Prototype to find the answer rather than arguing about it in a doc.
• Make complex things simple. Turn dense financial data and regulated flows into something a first-time investor trusts and a serious trader respects. This is the core craft of the job.
• Partner closely. Work shoulder to shoulder with product and engineering as an equal. Bring the users point of view to roadmap and tradeoff conversations early not at the end.
• Build the team. As grows manage and grow the designers around you and set the standards theyll work to.

What were looking for

• 12 years in product design with real ownership of consumer products at scale. Some of that as a lead whether managing people or anchoring quality for a product.
• Proven craft. A portfolio that shows depth not just breadth interaction design visual polish and clear thinking about why each decision was made.
• Domain knowledge is a strong advantage. This is a genuinely complex space broking F&O market structure the way regulation shapes every flow. If youve worked in trading broking or wealth or you invest seriously yourself and understand it from the inside thats a real head start. Not a hard requirement but it counts for a lot.
• Comfort with complexity. Youve designed for data-heavy or regulated products fintech trading health anything where the details are hard and the stakes are real. Or you can show us youll get there fast.
• Systems thinking. You design with the whole product in mind not one screen at a time. Youre fluent with design systems and know when to extend one versus break from it.
• Strong written and verbal communication. You can write clear microcopy make a tight argument for a direction and give direct useful feedback.
• Player-coach instinct. Youre senior enough to lead and still want your hands on the work.

What we care about

We hire and grow people around three things: craft context and community.

• Craft the quality of the work and the attention to detail behind it.
• Context understanding the bigger picture: the user the business the system youre part of.
• Community building the people and the relationships around the work not just the work itself.

We believe in subtractive design: the best version of a financial product usually has less in it not more. Wed rather remove the right thing than add another feature. If that resonates youll like it here.

Why this matters

Most Indians have never owned a stock. The ones who do often find investing intimidating opaque or built for someone more sophisticated than they feel. Getting this right means more people participating in the countrys growth with confidence and without getting burned. Thats the work.
