About the role

We’re building the next evolution of Nubank: an AI-powered private banker that helps millions of people navigate their financial lives with intelligence, empathy, and trust.
As Sr Design Manager, you’ll lead a team of designers and writers crafting this experience — shaping how customers interact with our AI advisor, how trust is earned, and how complex insights become simple, actionable, and human. But You’re no longer just building for the AI Private Banker vertical — you’re establishing the foundational experience systems that will power AI across Nubank, while ensuring alignment with the broader Magic App vision (Nubank’s next-generation unified app experience).

• Build links with other business areas at all levels of the organization, influencing business decisions advocating for user-centered design;
• Inspire fellow product designers, by creating a high bar of quality design work;
• Establish and promote a healthy team culture that works hand in hand with cross-functional partners and design teams in other Nubank offices;
• Push the boundaries of your team’s UX/UI/visual execution and help Nubank challenge the status quo.
