What are the responsibilities and job description for the Product Designer position at Arch?
Our Company
Arch is a Series B financial technology company that automates the management of private investments, improving access, understanding, and the human experience of investing across asset classes.
Private investments such as venture capital, hedge funds, and private equity, make up roughly 25% of the investment universe. Traditionally, investors, advisors, banks, families, and managers track hundreds of investments in complicated spreadsheets, file folders, and busy inboxes. Not only is this tedious and time-consuming, but it is rife with opportunity for manual data entry errors, inconsistent reporting, and lost information. Enter, Arch.
Arch delivers standardized data, documents, and insights in a single platform, avoiding the need to chase information across dozens or hundreds of ‘portals’. Our purpose is to save investors’ time while empowering them to make more informed investment decisions, leading to better financial outcomes.
We are a fast-growing, dynamic team of 200 , serving over 400 clients, including several of America’s largest banks, families, and financial institutions. We’ve over doubled the size of the company every year since inception and we are looking to hire in all departments as we scale.
The Role
We are looking for a Product Designer to help shape intuitive and impactful experiences for Arch users. As a Product Designer at Arch, you’ll collaborate closely with product managers and engineers to translate user insights into thoughtful, data-driven designs. You’ll play a key role in problem discovery, prototyping, and continuous iteration—ensuring our solutions are not just visually compelling, but also drive meaningful outcomes for our clients.
Your Responsibilities Will Include
Most of our full-time roles are based onsite at our New York City office, where our team thrives on in-person collaboration and dynamic teamwork. Being onsite daily enables us to build strong connections, move quickly, and deliver exceptional service to our clients.
For select roles, we are also open to candidates based in Boston. If a role is open to Boston, it will be listed explicitly in the job location.
We encourage applicants who are located in or open to relocating to the listed location to apply and join us in this hands-on, collaborative environment
