Lead Product Designer

Role Overview

• 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

• 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
