DS is a specialist fintech and financial services brand agency — ambitious, and scaling internationally. We’ve built trust with challenger fintechs and large institutions alike, and we’re hungry to keep growing. At DS, you have a say. You’re not just here to fill a seat — you’re part of shaping the future of how financial brands look, sound, and scale. There’s meaningful room to grow if you’re up for it. We operate on a flexi-hour, hybrid model. Core hours are 09:00–14:30. We are a remote-first team with optional office space, valuing outcomes over timesheets. You’ll work directly with high-performance fintechs, banks, insurers, and payments players — the kind of clients who push us to deliver globally competitive work. We are a tight-knit team of strategists, creatives, and operators who back each other, solve hard problems, and celebrate wins.

We are still small and fast-growing — which means you’ll feel the pressure and see the gaps. Building this agency takes enthusiasm, resilience, and a genuine passion for what you're doing. We move quickly. Priorities and projects can shift overnight, and you need to thrive in that pace. Everyone here is mission-driven. We care deeply about building trust for our clients and doing work that matters. If you’re looking to coast or hide, this isn’t the place. The bar is high. Our clients are fintechs competing on global stages. That means your thinking, communication, and delivery need to be sharp.
