Job Description
Design leader elevating customer experience and brand identity at a fintech startup. Overseeing design, user experience, and brand development for impactful product launch.
Responsibilities:
- Define and elevate the entire customer experience at Odin as we prepare for a major US launch.
- Set the design direction for the company and shape the design culture.
- Build the systems and practices that future designers will inherit.

- Own the development of our brand identity alongside the founders.
Requirements:
- 8+ years experience in design, with a strong track record shaping complex products end-to-end.
- In-house experience (not purely agency) with ownership over entire journeys, not just isolated screens.
- Strong in information architecture, interaction design, prototyping, and delivering polished, production-ready UI.
- Demonstrated strength in visual design and high-bar craft: an eye for detail, care for precision, and the ability to enforce quality even at the pixel level.
- Systems thinker who designs with the full workflow in mind - across user actions, emails, automations, permissions, operational steps, and regulatory constraints.
- Experience designing complex, multi-party systems or working in regulated environments.
- Able to run product discovery independently: user interviews, assumption validation, prototypes, usability tests.
- A portfolio showing real business impact-how design improved operations, clarity, conversion, or user experience.
- Numerical literacy and attention to detail, especially for financial or data-heavy products.
Benefits:
- Work from anywhere for up to 6 weeks a year
- Private health insurance, paid sick leave (including support for pregnancy loss and fertility treatments), and free access to Spill for mental health support
- Enhanced maternity, adoption, paternity, and partner leave
- 4% pension employer contribution, with salary sacrifice options and NI savings reinvested into your pension
- 25 days of annual leave, 2 wellness days, and flexible bank holidays (33 days total)
- An extra day off to celebrate your birthday
