Our beliefs: Diversity brings success. We actively recruit people from a range of backgrounds, employ inclusive hiring techniques; and work with our external partners to continually increase and improve our DEI initiatives. As a result, we obtained a rating of 89/100 in 2022 for the annual Index of professional equality and are happy to say that 44% of our teams are women.

At Qonto, we aim to study and push the technique and craftsmanship to excellence. On the job, we like to think deeply about the strategic aspects of design to create emotions and constantly build the most thoughtful experience for our clients.

We are currently growing our design team with experienced designers willing to build the most amazing finance solution in the world as well as to keep growing their skills and expertise.

Organize and train the team’s knowledge: You will be responsible for ensuring guidelines and systems are organized in an optimal way so they can be used by the team and scale as the team knowledge grows.

She studied architecture and urban planning before designing anything from a new mega city to a mini-feature on a consumer app. She is also a cross-cultural leader, she lived and worked on 4 continents, and managed teams of 15+ different nationalities from Mexico to Singapore. She now runs brand design at Qonto and leads strategic projects like last year’s multi-media rebranding.

What she can bring to the team? She knows what designing for hypergrowth and global virality feels like. She was heading the design department of Mobike, the Chinese mobility technology unicorn during the few years it grew from 1 to 20 countries and from 500k to over 200m users. She loves applying the Qonto way to build the brand system and stimulate Qonto's brand vision. She’s very passionate about her team and a huge fan of continuous learning constantly pushing individuals to grow and progress on soft skills as much as hard skills.
