Salary

£100k–£150k

Company Description

Accel-backed fintech ($14m pre‑seed) redefining financial advice with AI

Location

London, UK

Job Description

As the first dedicated design hire, you will own the end‑to‑end experience for a pre‑launch platform transforming access to financial guidance. You’ll set the craft bar across the existing Workplace offering and build a regulated Advice product from scratch, scaling expert‑led services to thousands of users through elite product design.

Why this role is remarkable

• Exceptional funding and backing: Secure $14m pre‑seed from Accel to disrupt a regulated, high‑trust market where design is a core differentiator.
• Foundational impact: Join as the first design hire in a small, senior team where you define the design culture, principles, and system from day zero.
• Mission‑driven innovation: Leverage AI‑native tooling to provide high‑quality financial advice to people historically locked out of traditional wealth management services.

What You Will Do

• Lead the product design direction and quality bar across all web and core customer journeys, ensuring high‑fidelity execution.
• Define and prototype the v1 “Advice as a Product” experience, turning complex regulatory requirements into a simple, trustworthy user interface.
• Partner directly with founders and engineering to ship at high velocity while managing and directing existing external freelance design support.

The ideal candidate

• Proven track record of shipping high‑quality, user‑centered products in 0→1 environments or early‑stage startups.
• Deep product mindset with the ability to connect design decisions to business outcomes and navigate high‑ambiguity problem spaces.
• Experience in trust‑sensitive domains like fintech or health, with a high degree of “taste” and excitement for AI‑native workflows.
