Product Designer

Recently named by The Times newspaper as one of the UK’s Top 20 financial technology (fintech) companies, Allica is a new bank that exists to empower established small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) to succeed, through our unique combination of modern technology, local relationships and tailored expertise. Established SMEs are one of the last untapped opportunities in UK banking. They are the backbone of local communities - representing about a quarter of the economy - yet have been largely left behind both by traditional high street banks and modern fintech providers.

We’ve grown rapidly and won multiple awards in our first year of trading, and you will be playing a key role as we continue to build a bank dedicated to established SMEs, at what is a crucial time for them. We believe that freedom, autonomy and trust bring the best out of people, so we work with team-players who get the importance of owning their responsibilities but know the value of collaboration. We are curious, honest and supportive.

About the role:

Allica is a business that is undergoing rapid growth and transition—Having already launched a range of successful SME banking products and started work on a ground-breaking business current account, we’re now focusing on extending and enhancing our digital capabilities and customer experience. That’s where you come in. As Product Designer, you’ll work in our Deposits squad, where you’ll help deliver key banking features and refactor the current saving experience across multiple digital channels.

You’ll solve complex problems and be instrumental in defining, developing and delivering elegant user experiences—your design work will help shape our industry leading fintech products. By engaging in customer research and data analysis, you will develop a strong empathy for our users and envision how they will experience our products. You’ll work alongside other designers, product managers and developers during the design process - from creating user flows and wireframes to developing and testing interactive prototypes, through to crafting beautiful UI and assisting in developing Allica’s design system. You are a UX/UI hybrid.

Principal Accountabilities:

Assisting in user research and product discovery activities
Using data to measure the success of design output and to drive the continuous improvement of products
User-testing and improving designs based on feedback
Conceiving, sketching, and rapid prototyping of product ideas
Designing and delivering wireframes, user journeys and mock-ups, in a range of fidelities, for a variety of devices and interfaces
Working directly with engineers, product managers, marketers and other stakeholders across the business
Supporting the evolution of the design language system
Be a strong and vocal user advocate

About you:

You’re a thoughtful, empathetic product designer, with a broad skillset spanning all aspects of UX and UI Design
You have a solid portfolio demonstrating past work experience and deliverables
You have experience designing digital products and systems, not just websites, in a fast-moving or high-growth business
You love solving problems and simplifying complex processes. You articulate solutions clearly and concisely both verbally and diagrammatically
You are hypothesis-led and data-inspired: you are a scientist by nature, constantly honing in on problems and working with others to understand them deeply, before crafting elegant, validated solutions through a process of experimentation and rapid feedback, and using a range of media and techniques
You want to help shape and nurture a growing Design practice and discipline
You care about the future of financial services and want to shape the industry
You want to work with passionate, curious people who value bold ideas and attention to detail
You are among the best at what you do and want to work with peers who challenge you to get better every day

At Allica Bank we want to ensure our employees have the right tools and environment in which to succeed in their role and in support of our customers. Our employees are at the heart of everything we do, so our benefits are designed with you in mind:
