Staff Product Designer

Job Description

Company Overview: Zocks is an AI platform transforming how financial advisors work. Starting in the US financial services market, we're building technology that supports advisors across their entire workflow - from sales and meeting preparation to note-taking, follow-ups, scheduling, email, document intelligence, reporting, and integrations with the systems they use every day. Our goal is to take repetitive, manual work out of the advisor-client relationship and turn conversations, documents, and data into actions automatically. As our platform expands across more workflows, customers, and use cases, we're solving increasingly complex challenges around AI, real-time systems, data, security, integrations, and scale. Zocks is headquartered in San Francisco, while our entire R&D organization - Engineering, Product, Design, Data, and Infrastructure - is based in Budapest. This means our Budapest teams don't just execute on a product built elsewhere: they're directly responsible for shaping the product, technology, and how we build them as we grow. Location: Budapest, XI., Science Park (On-site Monday to Thursday, Remote on Fridays) About the Role You'll be the first Staff Product Designer at Zocks. That means two things simultaneously: doing the work and building the practice. There's no playbook for what this level looks like here yet. You'll help write it. That requires earning trust, demonstrating value in ways that are visible to leadership, and navigating ambiguity that goes beyond any individual project. If that sounds like a challenge you'd lean into rather than away from, this role is for you. This comes with real strategic ownership, direct partnership with leadership, and the autonomy to drive initiatives that shape our product and design culture. If you're a senior IC who wants strategic influence without direct reports, this is the role. You'll lead through craft, systems thinking, and mentorship, not headcount.
