About Odin
Private markets are overdue a design transformation, and there is still no design-led company setting the standard for the category. Most products in the space look and feel like a bank statement from 2009. We’re looking for someone to help us change that.
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.
The Role
- 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.
- You’ll lead and develop the design team as it grows, providing clear direction, thoughtful feedback and the support people need to do their best work. You’ll also help define the structure, roles and capabilities we need as design scales at Odin.
- 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, while helping the founders evolve Odin’s visual identity and express the philosophy, ambition and cultural stance behind the company.
- By the end of your first year, you’ll be playing a significant role in the brand and marketing push behind our US launch, helping to shape and own its visual direction.
- Working with our existing designer, Head of Product and wider product team, you’ll set the design direction for the company, raise the quality bar and shape how design operates as we grow. You’ll bring the experience and conviction to make strong 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 shaping the next stage of it.
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.
