Role
Who you are
- You’re a thoughtful, empathetic product designer, with a broad skillset spanning all aspects of UX and UI Design
- You have a solid portfolio demonstrating past work experience and deliverables
- You have experience designing digital products and systems, not just websites, in a fast-moving or high-growth business
- You love solving problems and simplifying complex processes. You articulate solutions clearly and concisely both verbally and diagrammatically
- You are hypothesis-led and data-inspired: you are a scientist by nature, constantly honing in on problems and working with others to understand them deeply, before crafting elegant, validated solutions through a process of experimentation and rapid feedback, and using a range of media and techniques
- You want to help shape and nurture a growing design practice and discipline
- You care about the future of financial services and want to shape the industry
- You want to work with passionate, curious people who value bold ideas and attention to detail
- You are among the best at what you do and want to work with peers who challenge you to get better every day
What the job involves
- Leading design for your product squad—You’ll drive the design vision and lead collaborative, user-centric design activities within your product squad. You’ll help make sure we’re designing and shipping the right things
- Building a deep understanding of our customers—You’ll support user research and learn from existing insights. You’ll be a strong and vocal user advocate so that customers are at the heart of everything we do
- Working through design problems from beginning to end—From translating customer insights into ideas to creating user flows, wireframes, and high-fidelity UI
- Creating simple, beautiful experiences that our customers love
- Validating ideas quickly by creating and testing prototypes—User feedback is an essential part of our design process; we learn and iterate as we go
- Working closely with product owners, product analysts and engineers—You’ll learn, scope and ship together and form a shared understanding of users, problems, and the product strategy
- Helping elevate the status of design within the business—We have big plans for the design team, and you’ll have a key role in helping with design strategy and improving our community of practice
- Supporting the evolution of the design language system

Our take
SMEs are one of the central pillars of the British economy, yet many are being let down by the banks in terms of access to finance and personalised long-term support. Allica Bank is a challenger bank established in 2019 specially built to help SMEs thrive in their industry.
The company sets itself apart by reimagining relationship banking, which is something that has been taken away from SMEs in recent years. Allica Bank is not only bringing it back but also improving on it, arming relationship managers with slick technology. This has been successful with the bank offering over £71m in SME loans in its first year of activity. Originally offering savings accounts, commercial mortgages, an asset finance, Allica is now a full-service digital bank for UK SMEs and professional landlords.
The company is a fully licensed bank and it aims to continue to simplify the complex financial world by providing clients with easy-to-understand products and transparent fees. Due to the high levels of demand for its financial products, it has seen significant growth year on year (and is now the UK's fastest growing fintech). Boasting nearly doubling its profit in the last year alone, Allica is really making a name for itself.
