Product Designer

Are you curious, excited by experimentation and always looking for a better way of doing things?

Do you want to keep learning and developing whilst getting hands-on experience delivering in the embedded payments space?

Do you want to have the opportunity to be part of the team that leads the execution of our strategy in our key verticals, ensuring we effectively launch the right products for our customers?

If so, we would love to hear from you!

We are the fastest-growing payments business in the UK and Europe and are looking to hire ambitious, and value-adding talent. Product Designers play a critical, cross-functional role, in leading the development of our products defining how our customers are onboarded, how they interact with our products and optimizing their experience.

About Us

At Modulr our mission is to move money efficiently to power business productivity. We are building a new digital payments service to make money flow more efficiently through businesses and the economy. This is a new type of payments account that is built for businesses that need faster, easier and more reliable ways to move money.

Our flexible platform and innovative approach allows our customers to utilise our payments account instead of a traditional bank account. Our accounts come with a sort code and account number, access to payment systems (eg Faster Payments and Visa) and everything our customers need from a payments account. They can instantly open as many accounts as they need, automate how they make and receive payments as well as the reconciliation processes these create. All in real time, 24/7 through their own systems utilising our API that integrates into any platform.

Our founding team has a wealth of experience in the payments industry and growing successful businesses. Modulr is backed by payments giants PayPal Ventures and FIS Ventures, as well as startup and scale up specialists Blenheim Chalcot, General Atlantic, Frog and Highland Europe which enables us to leverage their resources and expertise to drive our growth initiatives.

Modulr values

• Building the extraordinary and going that extra mile
• Owning the opportunity, be passionate and proud of the time you invest
• Move at pace, reach your goals faster with us supporting you each step of the way
• Achieve it together, working as a team and being a Modulite

The role 

Our web and mobile Front End (FE) Portals enable our partners and customers to onboard for our services, manage their introduced customers, setup and interrogate accounts as well as make and reconcile payments.

As we grow the capability of our FE Portals and extend into new customer types we are looking for an experienced Product Designer with background in UX and UI design, to join the team and drive the design and implementation of a portfolio of FE components.
