What the job involves
- We’re seeking a Senior Brand Designer who will help elevate our brand, with a focus on web & digital touchpoints
- ✨ In this role, you'll create the visual content that lives within our website frameworks, while also supporting social and broader brand initiatives. You'll bring a strong understanding of design systems and cohesive branding, paired with a passion for creative storytelling and thoughtful execution — always curious about the “Why?” behind the work ✨
- Collaboration is core to this role, as you’ll work closely with other creative partners, contributing your perspective, refining ideas together, and helping shape a brand that resonates clearly and meaningfully
- Partner with the Head of Design to create responsive website designs, landing pages, digital campaign experiences, and digital assets across desktop and mobile
- Develop and evolve modular design systems, UI components, templates, and digital style guidelines
- Translate brand ideas into intuitive digital experiences that bring together visual design, UX, UI, accessibility, motion, content, and development considerations
- Generate strong digital concepts rooted in both brand and user experience, and communicate them clearly through design and presentation
- Refine UX and UI frameworks to create consistent, elegant experiences across devices and breakpoints
- Present work with a clear articulation of the design rationale and collaborate closely with product designers, developers, and stakeholders through implementation
Our take
People are increasingly not satisfied with the products being offered by traditional banks, which have proven slow to react to the needs of younger consumers who expect more from their everyday experiences.
Cleo was one of the first companies to make great use of chatbots that sit within Facebook's messenger app. This chatbot-first approach and Gen Z user base have given it strong virality. It now has millions of registered users, 99% of which are based in the US, leading to a decision to take a year break from the UK market to focus on its US Gen Z customers. And after a successful year in the US its now eyeing up a return to the UK.
Its Series C funding will help the company to double down in the US, where it will make a significant increase in employee headcount, and enable Cleo to maintain and expand its service during an economic downturn.
Financial advice delivered via bots is a crowded space, so Cleo benefits from having a strong brand presence. It has gone for very bold, fun, Gen Z-focused messaging which helps it to stand out from competitors such as Emma, Plum, and Chip.
