VP, Creative. We are seeking a visionary Senior/Lead Designer who believes that a brand s most powerful storefront is its digital presence. This is a hands-on, high-impact role focused on our primary marketing engines: our marketing websites, landing pages, design systems, and interactive digital expressions. As a Lead Designer, you will raise the bar creating forward-thinking designs that set new benchmarks for brand excellence.

While you possess a strong curiosity for technical implementation—proactively leveraging motion, interaction, AI, and automation—your primary focus is the impeccable execution of web experiences that drive engagement and customer conversion. You will lead the charge in expressing how our brands show up in the world, ensuring that complex crypto concepts are translated into clear, compelling, and beautiful web narratives that move people.

• Execution & production: model efficient production practices for design-to-dev and content-to-design workflows for our marketing sites. Oversee and enforce visual QA to ensure build quality adheres to design intention and scalability.
• Publishing & content QA: maintain attention to detail regarding copy and brand alignment. Assist in publishing content updates via the CMS as needed.
• Design quality stewardship: take full accountability for the "pixel-perfect" details of your work—from typography and grid systems to micro-interactions, performance optimization, and file etiquette.
• Team mentorship: lead by example and inspire our team of visual designers, embedding a culture of demonstrated curiosity, rigorous refinement, low ego, and accountable execution.
• Proactive: identify and solve user-centered design needs, with flair.
