About us

Here at GoCardless, we’re building the world’s bank payment network. Bringing simple and secure direct bank payment solutions for people and businesses everywhere, as well as making open banking more accessible. GoCardless is used by 75,000+ organisations and counting, processing more than $30 billion of payments across 30 countries.

We’re an award-winning London based fintech, with additional offices in Riga, Paris, Melbourne and New York.

The role

We are looking for inspired and curious people to join the design function to help develop the culture, define principles, and collaborate with the wider team and our stakeholders to set the direction for the future of the GoCardless brand.

The team strives to deliver meaningful change to the people and processes we serve. Whether in internal communications or a product launch campaign, we take pride in our craft from insight to application.

What excites you

You will be accountable for crafting best-in-class brand experiences.
You will challenge briefs constructively, solve design problems creatively, and generate ideas with strong conceptual foundations.
You will be partnering with the Marketing and Growth teams – as well as working closely with other areas of the business – to achieve the best way of communicating the personality of our brand and landing our messaging.
You will be drawing on experience, knowledge, and data to help define the future of the GoCardless brand, pushing the boundaries of our visual identity while ensuring a coherent brand expression and integrity across different regions and languages.
You will be confident using Adobe CC and Figma – if you don’t know how to use Figma, we can teach you. Motion design experience is desirable but not essential.
You will be using your skills to communicate concepts and processes with an emphasis on clarity and understanding.

What excites us

You have an excellent understanding of the foundations of design, such as space, form, colour, layout, typography and imagery.
You demonstrate great care and attention to detail, and interrogate everything you do with precision.
Your work is your craft and has a high bar, holding yourself and others to account while also welcoming criticism with integrity.
You understand the delicate balance of desirability vs delivery. You know when to ship and when to stand. You can manage and complete multiple projects, meeting agreed deadlines.
You consider processes and scalability by default, appreciating the impact your actions and outputs have on others.
You thrive on autonomy and accountability with care and consideration for your collaborators.
You are curious, empathic, open to new viewpoints and have an interest in what happens around you and beyond.
