Job Description
Head of Design Full-time · Amsterdam, London, or Cape Town · Hybrid ABOUT CAPCADE Capcade is building the collaboration infrastructure for private markets. Fund managers, investors, and the service providers around them run their most important work across scattered tools and email threads. That work covers fundraising, due diligence, investor onboarding, post-close reporting, and structured-product programmes. We replace all of it with one secure, structured environment where people, documents, data, and tasks live in the same place. The work our users do is high-stakes, data-heavy, and heavily regulated. They are executives at fund administrators, heads of investor relations, dealer desks at global banks, and procurement leaders at large institutions. When the product works well, billions move with more visibility and less risk. We already have many of the best names in global finance on the platform, including hundreds of the Fortune 500. We are a team of around 50 people across seven jurisdictions. We are small enough that your work shows up the week you ship it, and the problems are real enough to keep the work hard and interesting. ABOUT THE ROLE We have built a powerful platform. We now need to build a design discipline to match it. You will be our first design leader, and you will set the craft bar, shape the process, and define how design works alongside product and engineering. You will own how the product feels, not only how it looks, and you will be measured on whether your work changes what users actually do. You will have a real say over the roadmap and over how the product gets built, with direct backing from our COO, CEO, and Head of Product. You will report directly to our CEO. This is a senior role, but it is not a role where you direct from a distance. Today the design team is one talented individual contributor, and you will shape and grow the team from there. You will be in the work itself, prototyping, designing, and shipping alongside the team
