Product Design Manager

At Magic Eden, we’re breaking down barriers to make Web3 what it should be — intuitive, accessible and of course, magical. As the #1 Bitcoin dApp and the #1 NFT marketplace, we’re leading the charge to redefine the onchain experience. Backed by top-tier investors like Sequoia, Paradigm, Electric Capital and Lightspeed Ventures, we’re building a future where trading is seamless, tokenomics are meaningful and Magic Eden fulfills its mission of making digital ownership universal. Join our global team of passionate, scrappy and wildly talented people to help shape the next era of Web3 with us.

We are seeking an experienced and hands-on Product Design Manager to lead our design team while shaping the future of our platform. This is a "player-coach" role for a leader who is passionate about both mentoring a talented team of designers and contributing directly to key design initiatives. You will drive our design strategy, foster a culture of excellence, and lend your own craft to our most impactful projects.

You'll bring a deep enthusiasm for the crypto/Web3 space and a proven track record of creating best-in-class consumer experiences. This is a unique opportunity to build and shape a design function while staying deeply connected to the craft.

• Lead, mentor, and grow a team of product designers, fostering their career development through coaching and direct feedback.

• Define and drive the overall product design vision and strategy for our NFT marketplace and mobile app, ensuring it aligns with business objectives and user needs.

• Lead the design of major features and, when needed, contribute directly with hands-on work including user flows, wireframes, and high-fidelity prototypes.

• Own the vision and strategy for our design system, guiding its development while also contributing to its core components to ensure scalability and consistency.

• Collaborate closely with Product and Engineering leadership to align on roadmaps, prioritize efforts, and ensure a high-quality, cohesive user experience.

• Establish and refine design processes (e.g., critiques, reviews, user research) that fit our fast-paced environment and empower the team to do their best work.

• Recruit, hire, and onboard new design talent who align with our collaborative and ambitious culture.

What you bring:

• 7+ years of experience in product design, with at least 1-2 years of experience in a formal management or a senior leadership role (e.g., Design Lead, Principal Designer) with mentorship responsibilities.

• Deep personal passion for crypto required.

• A compelling portfolio showcasing both exceptional, recent hands-on design work and your ability to lead projects and mentor other designers. Your portfolio should reflect a high degree of visual craft and strategic thinking.

• A "builder" mindset, with a track record of operating with autonomy and thriving in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment.

• Proven ability to lead teams in simplifying highly complex concepts into delightfully simple and intuitive user experiences.

• Expert proficiency in Figma and other modern design and prototyping tools.

• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to articulate design decisions and build consensus from the team level to the executive level.
