Job description

About Mercuryo
Mercuryo is building the financial infrastructure for the new digital economy. We empower businesses and users to connect crypto and traditional finance through seamless payments, card issuance, and on/off-ramp solutions. Our mission is to enable access, speed, and convenience for a global economy in transition.

Our Product Culture
Our product teams are empowered to solve challenging problems—both customer-related and business-oriented—in ways that delight our customers and benefit our business. We ensure that these teams have the necessary skills to devise solutions that are valuable, viable, usable, and feasible.

Role overview
We are looking for a UX lead to join the product team and take full ownership of the user experience across our ecosystem. This role is for someone who thinks beyond UI — you’ll own how people feel when they use our products. You will lead the product design function, mentor and grow a small team of designers, re-architect the design system, and embed AI into our design and feedback workflows.
You will also be a key driver of how our product communicates with users — from visual design and interaction flows to support messages and empty states. This is a leadership role for someone excited to shape a design culture in a product-led, crypto-fintech environment.

Key responsibilities:

Own the end-to-end user experience across all Mercuryo products: on-ramp, off-ramp, cards, swaps, recurring buys, dashboards, etc.
Lead, mentor, and grow the product design team
Improve and maintain the design system to make it clear, consistent, and easy to scale
Collaborate closely with product managers, engineers, data analysts, and customer success to integrate design into every stage of product development
Implement and maintain workflows that connect designers with the rest of the team (engineers, PMs, data analysts, business analysts, compliance)
Apply AI tools to help designers move faster and make smarter decisions, like collecting feedback, creating prototypes, and testing usability
Contribute to strategy by surfacing user insights and turning them into actionable design opportunities
Ensure UX quality at every release — from new features to UX debt fixes
Represent the voice of the user in internal discussions and ensure empathy is built into every interaction

What we’re looking for:

5+ years of product design experience, including 2+ years in a lead or managerial role
Proven track record of leading design teams in fast-paced product environments
Experience working in fintech or crypto is a strong plus
Strong understanding of systems thinking and component-based design
Deep understanding of usability, accessibility, and design for conversion
Interest in using AI to improve design processes like workflows, research, and iteration
Excellent communication and storytelling skills
