Senior Product Designer

Plum is powered by automation, and acts like an autopilot for your money. You sit at the controls, with smart spending analytics and budgeting tools to help you set your financial destination. Plum gets you there safely, so you don’t need to remember things like setting money aside, getting the best deal on household bills.

Plum’s making your savings and investments work for you..

Here’s what we’re trying to tackle

• 11.5m people in the UK have less than £100 in savings
• 90% of UK savings accounts pay less than inflation
• £4bn lost to the loyalty penalty every year
• 2/3 of UK adults say money stress has affected the health or wellbeing of someone they know.

Our Mission

We’ve Imagined a world where people effortlessly manage their money without having to worry, or even think about it. A world where our users’ money has a brain that’s configured to automatically reach what is important to them.

And here at Plum, we made it our mission to build that world and we’re now ready to make it a reality for Plumsters. We welcome them to our reality! Where their money works for them, and their entire financial journey is easier by an autopilot, controlled by them.

In 4 years, we've grown from 2 co-founders sharing a rusty desk in Soho, to a brilliant, hard-working team of 120+, with offices in London (HQ), Athens and Nicosia. Now, with more than 1.5M people already using Plum across the UK, Ireland, France and Spain, we could use a little help and that might be where you come in!

The Role

As a Senior Product Designer, you’ll be working on improving the customer experience and building towards our mission of “Wealth for all, that’s automated and looked after”. This is a hands-on role, where you’ll spend most of your time designing parts of the Plum product within a cross-functional team. You can join our office in London, Athens or Nicosia, or work remotely.

What You Will Do

• Solve user problems from beginning to end. From carrying out research to implementing your polished flows and interactions with engineers.
• Collaborate with other designers to establish Plum’s design processes, tooling setup and core principles.
• Sketch and prototype ideas with your team, to assess their viability before fleshing out the finer details and interactions.
• Use research and testing to validate your work and build empathy and further understanding of Plum’s users.
• Buddy-up with Product Managers, to define how the product works and what it looks like in future iterations.
• Work closely with Engineers to build, iterate and ship your ideas.

Who You Are

• A product thinker - you care about why you’re designing something and what impact it will have for the user.
• Someone who has a design process that puts the human first. You use data and research where necessary, and validate design through testing.
• A brilliant communicator - you can explain and rationalise the reasons for your design decisions, and can receive and give constructive feedback.
• Able to work independently, but also know when to work with other designers and when to ask for help.
• Fluent in designing for mobile devices and with a strong portfolio of projects showing your interaction and visual design skills.
• Someone who understands how digital products get built, and you have 3+ years experience shipping them.
• Fluent in iOS and Android design and know when to reuse existing patterns versus going custom. And importantly, you know chips, toasts and snackbars are more than just tasty treats.
