Goldman Sachs set out to centralise and elevate its design capability — creating a unified, strategic design ecosystem.
The brief was to hire 50+ exceptional designers and design leaders across the US and UK — at pace, without compromising on quality.
TDA was appointed as the exclusive design talent partner.
This wasn’t just volume hiring at pace.
Goldman Sachs needed designers who could operate at enterprise scale — and leaders who could embed design thinking across a global financial institution. The search spanned:
Directors of Design, Product Designers, Visual Designers, UX Researchers, Content Designers and UX Developers. Predominantly at the Principal and VP Director level.
Beyond craft, every hire needed strategic influence, stakeholder gravitas, and the ability to build sustainable design systems.
