Finch Legal Founding Product Designer at Finch Legal owning end-to-end product design for external-facing case management product. Work closely with engineers, product, and legal operators to identify friction and propose solutions.

Responsibilities

Own product design end-to-end for our external-facing case management product, from discovery through implementation.
Sit with attorneys and paralegals, watch how they work in Finch’s tools and systems such as Filevine, and identify friction before proposing a solution.
Turn individual stakeholder requests into solutions that work across the product, rather than one-off fixes that create clutter elsewhere.
Work closely with engineering and the codebase, shipping simple copy, layout, or styling changes yourself where it makes sense.
Help extend the external product experience into our internal paralegal tools as the two converge.
Bring a clear point of view to design reviews, explain your reasoning, and push back constructively while remaining open to new evidence.
What will make you successful
You’ll likely thrive if you have
4-10+ years of product design experience, with direct ownership of complex workflows.
A demonstrated habit of doing discovery before designing: spending time with the people doing the work, rather than relying only on a brief.
Experience designing operationally intensive software, such as B2B or other workflow-heavy products.
Comfort thinking in code and working closely with engineers, carrying decisions through implementation rather than stopping at a Figma handoff.

Direct ownership of complex workflows
Experience doing discovery before designing
Experience designing operationally intensive software
Comfort working closely with engineers and codebase
Ability to form and defend design decisions collaboratively

Preferred

Experience across both consumer products and B2B or operational software, bringing a high bar for craft to complex workflows.
Comfort using AI-native design tools to ship simple changes independently.
Experience supporting brand or marketing work alongside product design.
Genuine curiosity about personal injury or legal work, or a track record of learning unfamiliar, operationally complex industries quickly.
This role may not be for you if
You do your best work when the roadmap, problems, and success metrics are already defined for you.
You prefer to stay in Figma and hand off designs rather than work with real users and bridge into code.
You’re most excited by polished consumer interfaces and have little interest in the operational details behind them.
