Head of Design
WFA Digital Insight
XION’s Head of Design sits at the intersection of Web3 ambition and mainstream brand storytelling. The company’s recent $36 million funding round has attracted marquee clients like Uber and Lego, meaning the design leader will shape visual language that reaches both crypto‑savvy audiences and traditional marketers. Unlike a typical agency gig, this role reports directly to an award‑winning blockchain CMO and collaborates with product and engineering teams to embed design systems across product UI, social video, and live events. Candidates must be comfortable juggling AI‑driven tools such as MidJourney while maintaining a cohesive brand identity. Success will be measured by how well the new visual framework translates complex blockchain concepts into clear, compelling narratives.

Overview:
This is an opportunity to own and shape the end-to-end design and brand vision for a high-growth tech company that values creativity and originality above all else.
