THE CLIENT

This challenger bank has become one of the UK’s most loved places to work. They’ve been able to to carve out a reputable name within the market and have redefined what it feels like to work in finance. They strive for innovation and aim to provide the most honest and beneficial financial products in the market, with customers truly at the heart of their decision making.

THE ROLE

This is a hands-on, lead role which would also require some management (2-3 other designers), although there is a Head of Design there also.

You would sit within one of the banks squads – they often will change up which squad you work on, so that people don’t get bored and ideas are kept fresh.

Prior banking or fintech experience is a bonus but not essential. B2C experience and working as part of an embedded (in-house) team, is essential!

The bank is actively embedding AI into design workflows – including building internal tools to handle repetitive tasks like reviewing component-level work for design system alignment and accessibility compliance.

You’ll report to the Head of Design whilst part of an established design team.

THE CANDIDATE

\n
• Previously held a Lead Product Design position within a B2C (in-house) environment.
\n
• Experience working as a Lead Designer within embedded product teams and influencing across disciplines.
\n
• Comfortable in fast-paced, agile environments with hands-on delivery.
\n
• Strong native mobile apps experience – evidenced in portfolio.
\n
• Familiarity with AI-enabled design processes.
\n
• Strong portfolio demonstrating high quality UI/visual craft as well as UX process.
