The Design department at Anchorage Digital develops a deep understanding of the products we build and the problems we solve in order to create new patterns that meld traditional financial workflows with the world of crypto.
We design solutions to questions with no precedent for institutional users. How do we make the experience of sending funds secure, but also highly efficient? How do we balance the human need for privacy with the open and transparent nature of the blockchain? How do clients express their opinion in on-chain proposals with the newest digital assets?
You will lead a team of designers that are intentional, collaborative, and relentlessly curious, to play a core part in fostering design at our fast-growing company. This is a rare opportunity to help shape the future of the financial world by defining the way institutions (all over the world) interact with digital assets.
As a Product Design Manager, you will...
- Lead and grow a team of high performing designers working across multiple inter-related product lines.
- Improve and institute lightweight and effective design processes.
- Collaborate cross-functionally to research and define user problems, shape our strategy and help your team ship great experiences.
- Instill and ensure design principles throughout the product: security, usability, simplicity.
- Switch to hands-on mode if needed to help your team deliver.
- Work closely with Product and Engineering counterparts to craft the product vision, roadmap, and execution priorities.
- Effectively communicate design strategies, concepts, and solutions to peers, partners, and stakeholders throughout the organization.
- Uphold a company culture where Design, Product, and Engineering are valued equally.
You may be a fit for this role if you have:
- Lead design teams in a similar Product Design management position

- An understanding of design’s relationship to business goals
- A high degree of emotional intelligence and great communication skills
- Capacity to embrace change in growth environments with complex product challenges
- Some special combination of the following: creative, humble, detail-oriented, self-aware, curious, thoughtful, and tenacious
Although not a requirement, bonus points if:
- You have experience working with financial products
- You have kept up to date with the proliferation of blockchain and crypto innovations
- You were emotionally moved by the soundtrack to Hamilton, which chronicles the founding of a new financial system
