Senior UI / UX Designer

At the time of inception, cloud-based systems and API fluency were new. But that didn't scare us. We waved goodbye to legacy systems and embraced modern technology – where our true innovation began and didn't stop.  

No hierarchy, no egos. Just a spirit of collaboration that flows right throughout our organisation – it’s woven into our DNA. We genuinely want to know about each other’s learnings and expertise, especially where it can help us achieve bigger things.   

At ClearBank, we make things happen. We solve problems together because we know that many heads are always better than one. Valuing different perspectives is what sets our culture apart. And being able to disagree and commit is key to our progress. Above all we’re a team because when we win together, it feels so much better than doing it alone.  

What you can expect:  

ClearBank is a place where you can do things differently and challenge the status quo. We will give you a high level of autonomy and transparency, and we trust you to make the right decisions for the bank. 

If that excites you, how about joining our Product & Marketing team as a UX & UI Designer? Reporting to the Head of Product, you’ll take the lead in re-designing our banking portal and other platforms to create an innovative, consistent and modern user experience that aligns perfectly with our brand, ensuring our clients are always impressed.

• Develop wireframes, prototypes, and high-fidelity designs.  

• Advising on industry trends and best practices to continuously improve the design process.  

• Ensuring accessibility requirements are front of mind in design delivery. 

What you’ll bring:   

To excel in this role, you’ll also need:  

• Pragmatic approach to design and problem-solving. 

• Ability to work at a very high pace in an exciting and sometimes challenging but always supportive environment. 

• Confidence in explaining designs and decisions to stakeholders of all levels. 

• Previous experience working on banking/fintech portals, ideally desktop propositions.

• Proficiency in design tools and software, including Figma, Adobe suite, and Miro.

• Keen attention to detail and a passion for creating exceptional user experiences. 

Regretfully we are not able to sponsor applicants for immigration purposes at the current time.  

What makes a great ClearBank team member? Does this sound like you?  

• You focus on solutions and positive outcomes, thinking radically and responsibly to find the best result for our customers, your colleagues and the bank;  

• You actively seek feedback from others to drive your growth and development, always assuming positive intent from others and develop strong, trusting relationships you’re your colleagues and customers: you really, genuinely care;  

• You always strive for the highest quality, but you know that done is better than perfect; you welcome a challenge knowing that they learn as you go and iterate;  

• ‘I’ before ’we’, isn’t in your vocabulary
