- A degree in an area related to English, Linguistics, Communications, Psychology, Business, Tech, etc
- A passionate writer, with an interest in writing for user-centred products
- A desire to learn, this is a varied role working closely with data scientists and AI, so an interest in new technologies is really important, though training will be provided

- An ability to adapt to different writing styles, voices and mediums
- Strong proofreading and editing skills
- Content Expertise: You’re a Content Design expert with a portfolio that demonstrates a mastery of writing for digital experiences

What the job involves
- As a Conversational Designer, you’ll be responsible for solving design challenges through words, concepts, systems, and terminology
- At Cleo, this often means (but is not limited to) creating new chat experiences, helping train large language models on our uniquely irreverent tone of voice, and working alongside an incredible team to build one of the most powerful AIs in the world, with the unique personality to match
- This role sits within the Chat Pillar, working on the conversational side of our technology stack, specifically powering generative chat experiences
- You’ll be responsible for implementing feature experiences within Chat and potentially other areas of the product into the generative environment, managing stakeholders, and working closely with ML engineers, data teams, product designers, and user researchers
- The scope spans the full LLM product experience—from infrastructure to customer-facing features—while applying financial health principles to ensure a cohesive and impactful consumer product
Salary benchmarks
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.
