UI-focused Product Design Senior or Lead role, with a bank who are redefining what it feels like to work in finance.

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 would require you into a London office twice a week (Tuesdays and Thursdays).

Sponsorship or more flexible working is not being offered.

£80,000-£100,000 – possible for some flex, for the right person.

They will consider both Senior-Lead level for this role.

The role

This is a primarily hands-on role 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. You’ll potentially line manage 1-2 other designers yourself if coming in at lead level.
