Job description

Senior Product Designer - Scaling FinTech

London, Hybrid (3 Days / Week)

Circa £95,000 + Equity + Benefits

Summary

We're looking for a senior, end-to-end product designer to join a well-funded, ~70-person London fintech rethinking what a credit and rewards card can feel like. You'll take full ownership of a product area from research through to shipped solutions, reporting directly into the Head of Design, with a genuinely full year of work ahead.

The client

They've set out to fix a specific problem: young professionals and expats in the UK were being poorly served by traditional credit products, and by rewards schemes that barely felt like rewards at all.

Since launching, the company has raised well over £100m from top-tier venture investors, and spent its early years deliberately widening access, moving from a single paid credit card to a fuller range of free and paid credit and debit products.

That expansion work is largely done. The focus now has shifted back to the core experience: Deepening what the product does, refreshing how membership itself works, and building into genuinely new territory globally.

Design has real standing inside the business. It's a small team: a Head of Design, and shortly, this hire, but a trusted one. Members consistently cite the product experience, ahead of the rewards, as the reason they stay, and that translates internally into real influence over the roadmap.

The opportunity

You'd own a product area end to end: Your own research and usability testing, flows and prototypes, visual and interaction design, through to shipped, carefully finished product.

PMs here do real early discovery work, so you inherit well-formed problems rather than a blank page, and can put your energy where it counts: the decisions, the craft, the states and transitions some teams never get time for.

The next twelve months give you plenty to build, and room to drive massive impact.

A refresh of the core membership tiers is coming, including new sub-branding, and there's new product territory too, alongside an expansion into Europe.

It's a moment to join and help shape the future of the product.

You'll know it's a fit if you:

• Have an end-to-end skill set: Comfortable owning research and strategic thinking as well as execution, though craft and sweating the detail are what genuinely energise you.
• You've shipped native or mobile consumer products at a senior level, ideally from inside a product team.
• Typography, spacing, motion and the small states most people never get to are the things you notice and can't leave alone. You sweat the small stuff.

You want a senior individual-contributor seat with real creative latitude; leadership scope may come later, but it isn't role for the time being.

What's in it for you:

• Salary circa £95,000 DOE
• £70,000–£91,000 in equity
• 35 days' annual leave including bank holidays
• Benefits that include: Private healthcare, enhanced parental leave, annual learning budget and more.
• Structured development tailored to your career goals and trajectory.

The interview process:

1st: An intro call with the Head of Design

2nd: a case-study review

3rd: a short take-home challenge designed to test your eye for craft and detail

4th: An on-site with the wider team, including a values conversation.

4 stages, typically 2–6 weeks end-to-end depending on diaries.
