Role Overview

We are seeking an experienced and hands-on Product Design Manager to lead our design team while shaping the future of our platform. This is a "player-coach" role for a leader who is passionate about both mentoring a talented team of designers and contributing directly to key design initiatives. You will drive our design strategy, foster a culture of excellence, and lend your own craft to our most impactful projects. You'll bring a deep enthusiasm for the crypto/Web3 space and a proven track record of creating best-in-class consumer experiences. This is a unique opportunity to build and shape a design function while staying deeply connected to the craft. Applicants must submit a design portfolio showcasing both exceptional hands-on design work and their ability to lead projects and mentor other designers.

Responsibilities

  • Lead, mentor, and grow a team of product designers, fostering their career development through coaching and direct feedback.
  • Define and drive the overall product design vision and strategy for our NFT marketplace and mobile app, ensuring it aligns with business objectives and user needs.
  • Lead the design of major features and, when needed, contribute directly with hands-on work including user flows, wireframes, and high-fidelity prototypes.
  • Own the vision and strategy for our design system, guiding its development while also contributing to its core components to ensure scalability and consistency.
  • Collaborate closely with Product and Engineering leadership to align on roadmaps, prioritize efforts, and ensure a high-quality, cohesive user experience.
  • Establish and refine design processes (e.g., critiques, reviews, user research) that fit our fast-paced environment and empower the team to do their best work.
  • Recruit, hire, and onboard new design talent who align with our collaborative and ambitious culture.

What You Bring

  • 7+ years of experience in product design, with at least 1-2 years of experience in a formal management or a senior leadership role (e.g., Design Lead, Principal Designer) with mentorship responsibilities.
  • Deep personal passion for crypto required.
  • A compelling portfolio showcasing both exceptional, recent hands-on design work and your ability to lead projects and mentor other designers. Your portfolio should reflect a high degree of visual craft and strategic thinking.
  • A "builder" mindset, with a track record of operating with autonomy and thriving in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment.
  • Proven ability to lead teams in simplifying highly complex concepts into delightfully simple and intuitive user experiences.
  • Expert proficiency in Figma and other modern design and prototyping tools.
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to articulate design decisions and build consensus from the team level to the executive level.

What You Get

  • A fast-paced and collaborative environment
  • Competitive compensation and equity package
  • Flexible PTO
