Role
Who you are
- You should ideally have 5 + years of relevant experience as a designer including time working in a similar new bets, innovation or 0>1 focused role
- You can share mobile app focused design work that shows high quality execution across UI and visual design, rapid prototyping and ideating early stage concepts through to MVP and launch
- You are skilled at taking loosely defined or ambiguous ideas and turning them into tangible and practical and pragmatic potential solutions through an insights and research driven approach
- You have experience of facilitating workshops to drive ideation and align people around a future vision for products and features
- You thrive on and have extensive experience in working quickly and iteratively to bring ideas to life quickly and to test and learn with users
- You are also a strongly outcome-focused individual motivated by the measurable impact your work has on our users and on the product whilst aligning with business OKRs
- You are a strong cross-functional collaborator who can partner successfully with product managers, engineers and commercial teams
What the job involves
- You’ll be joining a new, lean, cross-functional ‘Discovery’ squad set up under our ‘New Bets’ pillar
- This squad owns the entire concept discovery process with a goal to quickly validate multiple new concepts and identify the most promising to take to build
- It’s a great opportunity to join an established, successful startup that is continuing to invest in new ideas that will have a major impact on the future growth of Cleo and impact our user’s financial health journey
- Polished UI and motion prototypes to inspire a new vision or bring a range of potential concepts to life
- Identifying and targeting the specific needs of users looking to improve their financial health and relationship with money
- Rapid concept testing solutions for users
- Refining and improving product offerings through conducting in-app surveys and harnessing user feedback
- Building an MVP to impact immediate user pain points related to earning more money, reducing bills, switching mortgages or insurance, selling items, and maximising tax deductions
- Rapid testing and feedback with in-app surveys and other feedback mechanisms to quickly iterate and refine concepts to assess Product-Market Fit (PMF)
- Uniting a new pillar of work around the identified user value
Application process
- We aim to move as fast as possible. Usually 3-4 weeks is enough time for us all to get to know each other
- Step 1: An initial intro phone call with a member of our Talent Team to learn more about your experience and why you want to work at Cleo
- Step 2: A design craft interview with one of our design team to go through some of your relevant design work, assessing design quality, execution and data-driven impact with a focus on prototyping and bringing new concepts to life
- Step 3: A case study with a design manager and product director presenting a more in-depth example of your end-to-end design process for 0>1 or innovation work, your product thinking and impact you’ve delivered
- Step 4: A final Cleo Values interview with two cross-functional peers from our Product, Data, marketing or Engineering teams
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.
