Product Designer @ Town

Town’s mission is to give every small business the financial services edge of a Fortune 500 company. We’re starting by building the world’s most advanced small business tax advisory, powered by AI. Each year, more than 10 million business owners feel frustrated, anxious, and overwhelmed by their taxes—they need expert guidance. Town is that expert.

Meet the leadership

Jean-Denis Greze — founder — former CTO at Plaid, where he grew the Engineering, Product, Design org to over 500 while scaling the company to over $300M in revenue
Tony Vincent — founder — Director of Applied AI Product at Google, co-founder of Aspen (acquired by Google) and Sold (acquired by Dropbox)
Anisha Jain — Founding Designer — VP of Design at Cruise, Design Director at Dropbox, Product Designer at Meta

Key challenges you’ll be tackling

As a Product Designer you will partner closely with Anisha on the design of the customer experience for small and medium business (SMB) owners. You’ll own interaction and visual design, as well provide input into the broader scope of branding and marketing visuals. Your responsibilities will be pivotal in shaping the design ethos and user experience at Town from the ground up. Here’s what you’ll be diving into:
Reimagining Tax Product UX
Tax preparation is undergoing a transformation—what traditionally took months can now be completed in minutes. You’ll have the unique opportunity to design an entirely new user experience that integrates human expertise and AI insights. How do we replace lengthy questionnaires when we can pre-fill answers from customer systems? How do we create a seamless, intuitive interface that makes sophisticated automation feel simple and approachable? These challenges will require creativity, innovation, and a deep understanding of both interaction and visual design.
Building a Unified Brand and Marketing Experience
As a small team, we need a cohesive brand identity that spans our product, marketing materials, and website. You’ll take ownership of defining and refining our visual identity, ensuring consistency across all touchpoints. You’ll manage multiple brand and marketing vendors, guiding them to deliver materials that align with Town’s mission and voice while maintaining the high standards we set for our user experience.
Customer-Driven Design Insights
To design a truly transformative product, you’ll need to build a direct connection with our customers—current and prospective. You’ll lead user research efforts, uncovering the most critical pain points and refining our designs to address them. Your insights will guide the team in creating an experience that resonates deeply with small business owners.
Telling the Town Story
As the design lead, you’ll play a key role in translating our mission into a compelling narrative that reaches small business owners where they are. From marketing campaigns to product interfaces, your work will help position Town as the trusted, approachable expert they need.

How we work

No BS culture: we want to do great work, without politics or process getting in the way. We're hiring people who are excited to grow a company from day one. We seek individuals who are hungry to do their best work alongside a small group of like-minded colleagues. Join us if you want to push yourself, build something extraordinary, and learn from experienced teammates who will challenge you to grow.
Getting in on the ground floor:
Company Impact: As one of our first hires, you'll shape both design and product direction for this massive opportunity. Our early team is all engineers except for one designer — you’ll own the product and outcome from your first day!
Work directly with our world-class founding team. You'll collaborate in-person with Anisha, Tony, Jean-Denis, and Angela over the next 18–24 months. Join us for energetic whiteboard sessions, a vibrant environment, and the chance to do your best work!
We work as a small team in San Francisco, but are open to either hybrid or in-person work. We really like whiteboards and find they're most effective when the whole team can collaborate in front of them.
Both founders have kids and families, and we prioritize quality work over hours logged. We understand the need for flexibility—it's absolutely fine to take time for doctor's appointments, children's recitals, and other family commitments when needed.

Business traction

In just a couple of months, our strategy of partnering with fintechs to reach SMBs is showing early signs of success. We've signed several partnerships that will send us hundreds of SMBs for FY 2024 taxes (and have already sent us 10+ SMBs in just the last few weeks). Additionally, we will do smaller pilots with a few other players in the accounting tech space to prove the quality of our product, opening much larger revenue opportunities in 2026+.
We’ve raised an $18m seed round led by First Round Capital, with participation from Conviction (investor in Harvey, HeyGen, Cognition, Sierra, etc.) and Alt Capital (investor in Leya, Owner, The SF Compute Company), as well as world-class angels including Adam D’Angelo, William Hockey, Immad Akhund, and Christina Cacioppo.
