Head of Product Design

About Odin Odin is building infrastructure for the future of private markets. We believe capital is one of the most powerful tools for shaping the world - and more people should be putting it to work. Our mission is to make it radically easier to raise and deploy capital, so that anyone, anywhere, can back the companies and ideas they believe in. Our first product is a full-stack platform for launching and running private investment firms - think Shopify for VC and PE. We handle all the infrastructure: from legals and investor onboarding to KYC/AML, payments, tax, reporting, and exits. We’re already trusted by over 10,000 angels, VCs, and founders. We administer over $500m in assets, covering investments from pre-seed to series E. This includes household names like ElevenLabs, OpenAI, SpaceX, xAI, Anduril, etc. but also new companies creating everything from synthetic brains to small nuclear reactors. Mission We’re looking for a senior design leader who combines exceptional visual craft with systems-level product thinking. You’ll play a central role in defining and elevating the customer experience at Odin as we prepare for a major US launch. The scope here is intentionally broad. Your remit spans across product and visual brand identity. You’ll help evolve our brand identity alongside the founders, expressing the philosophy, ambition and cultural stance of a company that is rethinking what progress means and how we get there. Working with our existing designer, our Head of Product and the wider product team, you’ll help set the design direction for the company, raise the quality bar and shape how design operates as we grow. You’ll bring experience and conviction to make strong design decisions quickly, while creating the systems, practices and feedback loops that allow consistently excellent work to scale. You’ll remain close to the work: exploring complex problems, building and testing prototypes, speaking directly with customers and translating what you learn into polished, production-ready experiences. You won’t be stepping into a finished structure. You’ll be helping to shape the next stage of it. Your remit spans both product and brand. You’ll turn complex, regulation-heavy workflows and dense interfaces into experiences that feel clear, intuitive and inevitable. Your Must-Have Qualities We value designers who combine rigorous reasoning, high agency, exceptional craft and deep customer empathy. You’ll succeed in this role if you are: Deeply user-centric: You advocate for the customer and care about how people experience the product. You use interviews, data and observation to understand real behaviour—not just what users say. Exceptional in your craft: You have a highly developed eye for composition, hierarchy, interaction and detail. You create polished, cohesive experiences and hold the shipped product to a very high standard. Reasoned and curious: You challenge assumptions, ask sharp questions and look for root causes rather than applying surface-level fixes. Decisive with strong judgment: You make thoughtful trade-offs between speed, quality, complexity and compliance. You explore enough to make an informed decision, form a clear point of view and move quickly. High agency: You don’t wait for perfect information or detailed direction. You identify what needs to happen, bring others with you and take responsibility for moving the work forward. Systematic about discovery: You build repeatable ways of learning from customers, test assumptions early and establish regular feedback loops rather than treating research as a one-off stage. Clear and collaborative: You articulate your thinking simply, write clearly and give engineers the context and detail needed to build what was intended. You debate constructively, respond well to feedback and operate with conviction without ego. Comfortable with complexity and ambiguity: You create structure from incomplete information and navigate technical, regulatory and operational constraints without losing momentum. Outcome-driven: You care about what happens after something ships. You measure impact and ensure your work genuinely improves the customer experience, business outcomes or operational efficiency. Your Experience Must-Have 8+ years of product design experience, with a strong track record of shaping complex products end to end. Experience as an early or senior designer within a high-growth product team. In-house experience, with ownership of complete customer journeys rather than isolated screens. A portfolio demonstrating exceptional visual design, polished production-ready UI and measurable business or customer impact. Strong information architecture, interaction design and prototyping skills. The ability to produce high-quality work at pace, make confident visual decisions and maintain a consistently high bar across the product. Strong systems thinking, with experience designing complete workflows spanning user actions, communications, automations, permissions, operational processes and technical constraints. Experience designing complex, multi-party products or working within regulated environments. The ability to independently lead discovery, including customer interviews, assumption validation, prototyping, usability testing and iteration. Experience establishing structured, repeatable customer-research and feedback practices.
