Job Level
About the role
- The Lead Product Designer owns the experience of the ElectronX exchange — from first login to live trading.
- Establish, lead, and own end-to-end user journeys across the exchange — onboarding, funding, trading, risk and position management, and settlement.
- Design and iterate on high-stakes transactional experiences — orders, collateral, withdrawals — where accuracy, timing, and comprehension are critical.
- Define and evolve a unified visual language and interaction guidelines that makes every interaction a meaningful experience.
- Contribute to product roadmaps, refine design processes, and share knowledge through documentation and presentations.
- Translate complex financial and technical concepts into clear, trustworthy flows for a diverse range of users from institutional energy and market traders to commercial energy participants.
- Stay close to users (traders, market makers) through research, interviews, and data, and turn insights into prototypes and shipped products known for ease of use, reliability and cohesive design.
- Present work with clarity, grounding strategy in research, reasoning, constraints, and expected impact.
- Break down open-ended problems, prioritize for impact, and align closely with Product, Engineering, and Compliance to deliver user-focused, impactful designs.
- Balance rapid iteration with meticulous attention to interaction detail, information architecture, and visual polish.
- Lead and participate in design reviews, provide clear and actionable feedback, and contribute to a culture of high standards by showing through doing.
Requirements
- 6+ years of product design experience, with meaningful time spent on transactional, financial, or trading products
- Fluency and excellence in design and prototyping tools (Figma, Sketch, Penpot, or Adobe XD etc.)
- Proven track record of successfully leading design function across a product area
- A portfolio demonstrating ownership of complex, user-centered interfaces and end-to-end UX thinking
- Strong grasp of interaction design fundamentals — flows, states, edge cases — not just visual execution
- Comfort working in fast-moving, ambiguous environments where you help define the problem as much as the solution
- Ability to communicate design rationale clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders
- Experience conducting user research and translating findings directly into product decisions
Benefits
- Health, vision and dental insurance
- 401K
- Supplemental health and disability insurance
