Role
Who you are
- You have a few years of experience. You’ve shipped consumer-facing products before, ideally in a startup, and you know what it feels like to design something, see it in the wild, and adapt when it doesn’t land
- You’re a design generalist. You might have a refined specialism, but you’re comfortable covering the full design spectrum. In our squads there aren’t researchers, content designers or copywriters to rely on, so you enjoy switching hats
- You care deeply about craftsmanship. You believe design isn’t just about making something usable, it’s about making it feel effortless, trustworthy and a joy to use
- You sweat the details not for the sake of perfection, but because you know they change how people feel
- You enjoy talking to users. You’d rather put ideas in front of members and learn than design in a vacuum
- You communicate openly and often. You share early, bring people into your process and see engineers and PMs as creative partners
- You care about impact, not output. You believe shipping a feature doesn’t count unless it genuinely helps members
- You track the impact of what you build, not just the volume
- You’re a scrappy operator. You’re not precious about testing rough ideas when speed matters more than polish, but you also know when it’s time to slow down and get it right
- You work like its 2025. You like experimenting with new tools and approaches. We already use AI in our work, and we expect you to explore how it can make you faster and sharper
What the job involves
- You’ll be the third designer in the company, joining Craig (Head of Design) and Bryony (Principal Designer)
- You’ll be embedded in a small squad with a product manager and two engineers
- Turning big, messy problems into simple, fun experiences. You’ll take broad challenges and shape them into flows, prototypes and eventually polished features that feel effortless and delightful to use
- Running your own research. Designers here don’t sit at arm’s length from members. You’ll speak with them directly, test concepts, run usability sessions and use those insights to guide what we build
- Working shoulder to shoulder with your squad. You’ll be in the room shaping ideas with a PM, front end and back end engineer, not waiting for handovers. You’ll figure out solutions together and make sure the end result feels like it was built as one team
- Balancing speed with craftsmanship. Some weeks you’ll move quickly, putting scrappy ideas in front of members just to learn. Other times you’ll slow down and obsess over the typography, spacing, colour and motion that make Yonder feel premium, fun and trustworthy
- Keeping our design system alive. You’ll add to it, refine it and make sure it helps us move fast without sacrificing consistency or quality
- Depending on your skills and interests, you’ll join either:
- Growth & Activation – focused on sign-up, onboarding and everything that helps new members feel confident using Yonder straight away
- Member Value – focused day-to-day spending and making Yonder feel like the account members rely on the most
Application process
- We take the candidate experience really seriously, so we’ve made the process as transparent as possible. We also promise to be super responsive, and will never leave you wondering where you stand for weeks on end
- Here’s how it works:
- Apply
- Send over some previous examples of your work and your CV
- Stage 1: Hiring manager call (30 mins):
- We'll have an initial call to find out a bit more about one another, and if there's alignment on the role
- Stage 2: Portfolio Review (60 mins):
- We’ll dive deep into one or two projects to understand how you approached the problem, what solution you came to, and the impact you had on your end user and the business
- Stage 3: On-Site (3-4 hours):
- You’ll come into our Old Street office to meet the team. This’ll include:
- App critique: You’ll lead Craig and another Yonderer through a conversational examination of an app you regularly use. This’ll help us better understand your mobile product design know-how
- Values interview: We'll discuss both of our working styles and values, sharing past experiences and learnings, to see if we’re fully aligned
- Lunch with the team: This is just a chance to get to know each other a bit more naturally - fully on us!
- Offer:
- We promise to make a decision within 48 hours
Salary benchmarks
Our take
Two of Yonder's founders moved to the UK from Australia and despite having a stable income and a mortgage back in Australia, struggled to access high-quality credit products. After realising this was the case for over 8.3M people in the UK, they wanted to make money rewarding and credit-empowering; thus, Yonder was born.
The company promises to offer a modern rewards credit/debit card with no foreign exchange fees, worldwide travel insurance, and more. The team has significant experience in this space, having worked for multiple years at ClearScore, one of the UK's largest consumer credit marketplaces. By prioritising the customer, not the bank, Yonder offers a highly appealing alternative to traditional credit card options.
Further, the company has secured significant additional funding to expand into new verticals and launch in new UK cities. And with paid and free membership options, Yonder is widening their market and making sure there's an option for everyone.
