Product Designer

Department/Team Purpose:

With a set of market leading products in custody, settlement, clearing, liquidity access, and our position as a leading infrastructure provider in the industry, Copper is well placed to become a pillar of future digital and tokenised assets industry. Although the product suite is established, evolving regulatory requirements and market practices demand continuous refinement, modernisation, and innovation of our solutions.

The Product Design team is small, highly ambitious, and plays a pivotal role within Copper’s Product organisation. Design is a critical function that shapes the user experience and drives business success. You’ll have the opportunity to make a meaningful impact from day one, influencing both our products and the effectiveness of the team.

Role Purpose:

We are looking for a talented Product Designer to help us set the institutional standard for the digital asset industry.

This is a role for someone who gets excited about turning ambiguity into clarity. You'll collaborate closely with product managers, engineers, and other functions to ship features and products that matter—balancing user needs, technical constraints, and business impact.

You will be supported from day one by a great team, so you are able to hit the ground running.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design end-to-end experiences for new and existing products. You'll take ownership of the full design process—from early prototypes and user flows to high-fidelity designs ready for development.
• Collaborate cross-functionally. Partner with product managers to define problems, work alongside engineers to ensure feasibility and quality.
• Think in systems. Contribute to our design system and create scalable patterns that work across platforms. Your designs should feel cohesive, consistent, and intentional.
• Champion the user. Run discovery sessions, analyse user feedback, and use data to inform design decisions. You'll become an expert on our users' workflows and pain points.
• Push the craft forward. Willing to go beyond delivery, not satisfied with the status quo and always thinking of ways to improve.

Skills and Experience:

Essential

• 4-6 years of product design experience. You've shipped features or products that solves real user problems, ideally in complex domains like fintech, SaaS, or technical workflows.
• Strong portfolio. We want to see work that demonstrates your ability to solve real problems, not just make things look pretty. Show us your process—your use of personas/user data, the messy exploration, the iterations, the final execution.
• Visual and interaction design skills. You have a sharp eye for composition, typography, iconography and layout. You know when to create the right type of interaction to guide users and when (not) to use animations in a meaningful way.
• Systems thinking. You understand how individual features connect to our wider suite of products.
• Design tool expertise. You know your tools inside out. We use Figma for our designs and component library.
• Clear communication. You can articulate design decisions to engineers, stakeholders, and users You're comfortable presenting work, soliciting feedback, and building consensus.
• Self-sufficiency and ownership. You manage your time well, prioritise effectively, and know when to ask for help. You're proactive about identifying problems and driving solutions.
• Curiosity and adaptability. You're excited to learn about new domains, whether that's blockchain technology, institutional finance, or emerging design tools and practices. You thrive in environments that evolve quickly.

Desirable

• Experience designing for crypto, fintech, or financial services
• Familiarity with design systems, component libraries and design tokens
• Experience designing for iOS
• Experience with user research and usability testing
• Experience in designing accessible experiences
