Product Design Lead

Hi! We're Mercuryo, and we’re on a mission to redefine finance by blending the best of traditional banking with the power of decentralized finance (DeFi). We believe everyone deserves seamless access to Web3 and traditional financial services, so we're building the platform that makes it real: one that simplifies crypto and integrates it into the broader financial ecosystem.

Since launching in 2018, we've grown into a recognized force in the industry, named one of Europe's Fastest-Growing Startups 2025 by Sifted and awarded Best Crypto On-Ramp & Payments Solution 2025 by Cryptonomist. We've partnered with leading brands including Visa, Mastercard, MetaMask, Trust Wallet, Ledger, and Jupiter, powering over 200 products and collaborating directly with major ecosystems like Solana, Consensys, and BNB Chain.

Why Mercuryo?

Industry Impact

Join us in helping world-class Web3 projects onboard millions of new users into the next generation of finance.

Innovative Environment

Collaborate with more than 200 talented professionals from diverse backgrounds — including banking, SaaS, and Web3 — all united in delivering outstanding user experiences.

Growth and Learning

Our expanding network of 200+ B2B partnerships and a user base of over 7 million means there’s always room to grow your skills, tackle new challenges, and push boundaries.

Flexible Culture

We’re remote-first, celebrating diversity across 30 countries. At Mercuryo, you’ll be empowered to take ownership of your work, spark creativity, and shape how we move forward together.

About the Role:
We are looking for a Product Design Lead to join our team and take full ownership of the user experience across our ecosystem. This role is for someone who thinks beyond UI - you’ll own how people feel when they use our products. You will lead the product design function, mentor and grow a small team of designers, re-architect the design system, and embed AI into our design and feedback workflows.
You will also be a key driver of how our product communicates with users - from visual design and interaction flows to support messages and empty states. This is a leadership role for someone excited to shape a design culture in a product-led, crypto-fintech environment.

Your Role:

• Own the end-to-end user experience across all Mercuryo products: on-ramp, off-ramp, cards, swaps, recurring buys, dashboards, etc.
• Lead, mentor, and grow the product design team
• Improve and maintain the design system to make it clear, consistent, and easy to scale
• Collaborate closely with product managers, engineers, data analysts, and customer success to integrate design into every stage of product development
• Implement and maintain workflows that connect designers with the rest of the team (engineers, PMs, data analysts, business analysts, compliance)
• Apply AI tools to help designers move faster and make smarter decisions, like collecting feedback, creating prototypes, and testing usability
• Contribute to strategy by surfacing user insights and turning them into actionable design opportunities
• Ensure UX quality at every release - from new features to UX debt fixes
• Represent the voice of the user in internal discussions and ensure empathy is built into every interaction

What We're Looking For:

• 5+ years of product design experience, including 2+ years in a lead or managerial role
• Proven track record of leading design teams in fast-paced product environments
• Experience working in fintech or crypto is a strong plus
• Strong understanding of systems thinking and component-based design
• Deep understanding of usability, accessibility, and design for conversion
• Interest in using AI to improve design processes like workflows, research, and iteration
• Excellent communication and storytelling skills

How to apply

Send us your portfolio and a note about the most important UX problem you’ve solved - and why it mattered.

What We Offer:

• Competitive market rate salary and performance-based incentives
• 22 days annual leave with an additional 6 company days, plus bank holidays
• Comprehensive health insurance plans
• Extensive Benefits program
• Flexible work schedule and remote work options
• Professional development and training opportunities
• Opportunity to shape the initiatives you’re working on
• Diverse and friendly team
• We are open-minded to new ideas
