As Senior Product Designer, you'll shape the design culture, systems, and strategy for a company building world-class products. You'll need to be a self-starter who thrives on execution, owns the design process end-to-end, and collaborates cross-functionally with teams across Product, Engineering, Marketing, and Sales. This is a pivotal role for someone passionate about creating scalable design engines and delivering exceptional user experiences.
The impact you will have:
- Lead the end-to-end design process, from discovery and wireframing to prototyping and delivery, ensuring a high standard of quality across all touchpoints.
- Create and maintain design systems, workflows, and tools that enable rapid execution and consistency as we scale.
- Partner with Sales, Marketing, Product, and Engineering to align on shared goals and deliver user-centric solutions that also drive business impact.
- Champion user-centered design across the organization, influencing product strategy and fostering a high-performance design ethos.
- Rapidly onboard to TRM’s product and business to begin delivering value within the first 90 days.
What we’re looking for:
- A proven track record of success leading product design efforts at fast-paced startups with world-class products.
- Expertise in design tools, particularly Figma for design execution and Notion for documentation and collaboration.
- A self-starter who thrives on fast execution and demonstrates a high degree of ownership.
- Strong ability to develop scalable design systems and align them with cross-functional goals.
- Exceptional collaboration and communication skills, with experience working closely with diverse teams including Sales, Marketing, Product, and Engineering.
- Deep ownership of complex design problems, paired with the ability to balance strong product instincts with cross-functional alignment, never working in a silo.
About the Team:
- Designers closely collaborate with product managers, reviewing and thinking through product specs, asking questions and adding suggestions. They understand the value we need to provide with each feature, and are able to come up with multiple approaches for it while considering timelines and efficient use of resources.
- Designs are dynamic and flexible; work doesn’t finish once mockups are approved. It is common that a design that was approved needs to be updated/adjusted on the spot as the team is building. Iteration is quick and mostly live through Slack threads or huddles. Designer needs to be responsive, promptly providing rationale for design decisions and be open to quickly iterating on alternatives when needed.
- Work hours vary and can be flexible, as long as communication on availability is clear.
Learn about TRM Speed in this position:
- Design mocks within 24-48 hours.
- Understand product priorities efficiently, organize design tasks and align with the team to assign the right scope for a feature and deciding whether you need to design the 1 day, 1 week, or 1 month version.
Life at TRM
We are building a safer world. That promise shows up in how we work every day.
TRM moves quickly. We are a high velocity, high ownership team that expects clarity, follow-through, and impact. People who thrive here are energized by hard problems, experimentation, and continuous feedback. If something takes months elsewhere, it will ship here in days.
Our work sits at the intersection of AI, national security, and fighting financial crime. The problems are complex, the stakes are real, and the environment evolves quickly. The pace and intensity of the work reflect the importance of the mission. As a result, the way we operate requires a high level of ownership, adaptability, collaboration, and creative problem-solving.
At TRM, you should expect:
- Priorities and targets to change quickly as we experiment and iterate
- Work that often requires operating with a high degree of ambiguity
- A high level of personal ownership and accountability
- Close collaboration across teams and functions
- Frequent, high-touch communication
- • Creative problem solving and out-of-the-box thinking

This environment is energizing for people who enjoy building, solving hard problems, and making progress in situations that are not always fully defined. It also requires comfort navigating ambiguity, adjusting course as new information emerges, and maintaining focus and positivity in a fast-moving and intense environment.
We also recognize that this style of operating is not for everyone. If you are primarily optimizing for predictability or a consistently balanced workload, we encourage you to use the interview process to pressure test whether this environment is truly the right fit.
