11:FS is on a mission to change the fabric of financial services. Our Ventures practice builds challenger propositions globally, like we did for Natwest with Mettle. Our Pulse team creates a benchmarking tool used by the likes of Monzo, Starling, Natwest and Tesco Bank. Our Foundry team are delivering a Financial Services Operating System to help businesses quickly add financial services to their offering. On top of all of that, we're a media company, our Growth team generate a stream of content that supports our brand and changes the conversation - not necessarily in that order.
To do this we need an amazing team so we have pulled together the best in financial services and beyond.
We truly live our values at 11:FS, and they are critical to your entire journey here. 'Cultural Add' is as, if not more, important as pure technical fit, and as part of your interview process we'll deep dive in our values and your beliefs. Everyone at 11:FS fits our 4 core values: Team, Attitude, Communication and Impact, and this remains at the core of our growth.
With a few years start-up, agency, studio or in-house experience, you have:
In short, you'll work on exciting projects that push you out of your comfort zone and become a better designer for it. We know that your work becomes stronger, and our clients benefit by investing in you. With proper design guidance and hands-on experience, you will be:
X You won't be working on one thing for years on end
X You won't be just working on the tiny details as a small cog in a big machine
X You won't be waiting for permission before trying anything out – just go for it
You aren't afraid of a blank page and have the conceptual and visual ability to draw on the UI patterns you already know, but add something special that makes people say 'damn, that's slick'.
You are learning to tell a good story around any piece of work – it doesn't just look good, but you can explain why it's been created that way, to anyone who needs to hear it. And hopefully make them laugh along the way.
Any product designer worth their salt can make a clean UI, but we're after exceptional thinkers who can make sense of the complicated and translate that into solutions, flows and layouts that people instantly find familiar and usable, guiding the team to the right solution.
We're not talking about motivation here, that should be a given. All of our people at all levels are free to own their work and think creatively. You need to care about the quality of the work you do and the impact it will have on the lives of the people you're creating it for.
It's definitely a bonus, but no you don't need it. We are not a bank and the environment is similar to a startup or design agency.
If you arrive here really knowing your design onions, our research tool Pulse will give you access to recordings of every fintech interaction you'd ever want to see to get you up to speed.
In the last 3 years we have built an amazing team from the best in start-ups, design studios, agencies and financial services. Our people have co-founded and grown challengers like Monzo, Starling, and Tandem, led the technology platforms at Nutmeg, Betfair and beyond.
You will join the design tribe, helping to create innovative products for our clients and working with people who've been creating the digital FS services you may now own a card from.
We strongly encourage people of colour, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and non-binary people, parents, and individuals with disabilities to apply. 11:FS is an equal opportunity employer and welcomes everyone to our team.
