Job Description
In 2019 we set out to offer individual and smaller institutional investors access to top-tier private equity funds through an easy-to-use digital platform that enables investors to tailor their portfolio. The global private equity space is quickly expanding with net asset value having grown seven-fold since 2002. That’s almost double the growth in public equity markets. Investors have been backing entrepreneurs at record pace and last year, startups attracted $675 billion of Venture Capital (VC) funding globally, with Europe being the fastest-growing region.
We’re now a fully remote team of 80+, with hires from UBS, Bain & Co, BCG Digital Ventures and more, and we’ve already opened up a pool of $50tn underserved capital – we’re scaling this year to do even more, and looking for talented folk to join us on our journey.
We’re looking for an inspiring and talented Head of Product Design who is excited to help shape and build a best-in-class investment platform to shake up the status quo in private equity markets. We’re expanding fast, so we’re looking for people who are natural initiative-takers, who bring out the best in others, are brilliant listeners and can grow our business without compromising standards, integrity or culture.
The Head of Product Design will define and implement the overall design strategy for the core Titanbay products and will be responsible for its delivery alongside their team of UX/UI Designers to create exceptional products which will delight the Titanbay users
