About Vcheck

We started in 2012, in an era when due diligence was still largely manual, opaque, and inconsistent. Financial institutions needed reliable intelligence but faced a frustrating choice: slow, expensive boutique firms or fast, superficial automated checks. We saw an opportunity to bring the investigative rigor of boutique firms to scale through technology.

From our early days conducting background checks for commercial real estate lenders and private equity deals to building a best-in-class portfolio monitoring platform and what is arguably the industry's most advanced investigations platform, our vision remains unchanged: help businesses see clearly through complexity and make decisions with confidence.

Where We Are Today

• Based in New York City with global operations spanning the US, Romania, India, and soon-to-be London
• 25,000+ investigations annually across six continents
• Five consecutive appearances on the Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing companies
• Backed by Sunstone Partners, a leading private equity firm supporting our next phase of growth
• Trusted by top-tier financial institutions, private equity firms, and Fortune 500 companies

Vcheck has a talented and collaborative team. While many of our team members come from backgrounds in compliance, law enforcement, journalism, or intelligence, many others have built successful careers here without prior investigative experience. What unites us is intellectual curiosity, attention to detail, and a commitment to getting it right.

We're building something different: a comprehensive portfolio risk management platform that operates with the rigor of a top-tier investigative shop and the efficiency of a modern technology company. If you're excited about that combination and ready to build learning programs that scale operational excellence, we'd love to hear from you.

About the role

We are seeking a talented Product Designer to lead the design vision and execution for the Vcheck platform. In this role, you'll be both a strategic design leader and hands-on practitioner—setting design standards and best practices while also creating high-quality UI/UX designs that solve complex problems for our enterprise clients. You'll partner with senior leadership and cross-functional teams to shape product strategy, while diving deep into the details of execution. You'll work closely with product management and engineering to design intuitive experiences across our client portal, continuous monitoring, and ID verification products.

• Partner with executive leadership and senior management to align design strategy with business objectives and product roadmap

• Create wireframes, user flows, prototypes, and pixel-perfect UI designs in Figma that bring product concepts to life
• Conduct user research, usability testing, and gather feedback to inform design decisions and validate solutions
• Collaborate closely with product managers and engineers to define features, prioritize design work, and ensure seamless implementation
• Refine and evolve our existing design system, creating reusable components and patterns that drive consistency and efficiency
• Present design work, strategy, and insights to executive stakeholders, building consensus and driving design-led decision making
• Partner with stakeholders across the business to understand user needs, pain points, and translate them into elegant design solutions
