We’re on a mission to back the UK’s small businesses like no one else 🚀
Small businesses are the backbone of the economy, and we’re here to help them win. We’ve built a platform that uses clever data to get them the funding they need in minutes, not weeks.
At Funding Circle, we have the restless energy of a fintech start-up with the stability of a public company. It’s a unique mix that gives Circlers the autonomy to take ownership and the scale to make an impact that truly counts.
We’re a high-performing team that chooses to lift each other up. We challenge, we champion, and we have each other’s backs - because we know that when we stand together, we move faster and build better.
The impact is real: Last year alone, the businesses on our platform generated £7.2bn for the UK economy 📈 Come and join a mission that matters!

We are looking for a Senior Product Designer in our Product Design team. As we move beyond a single product to a multi-product experience, we are looking for strong craft and vision to define our newly created design language.
Lead end-to-end design projects, tailoring your approach to the challenge at hand. You know when to run a full sprint and when to just sketch and ship
Create elegant, systematic UI and maintain our design systems. You’ll take ideas from scribbles on a whiteboard to high-fidelity, production-ready interfaces
Use diagrams, user flows, and wireframes to untangle complex problems. You’ll ensure every pixel pushes both user needs and business goals forward
Work side-by-side with PMs, Analysts, and Engineers. We don't work in silos here
Plan and conduct user research/testing to validate your hypotheses. You’ll be the voice of the customer in every room
Pitch your ideas effectively and help mentor the wider team on design best practices
-
Proactively problem solving, identifying and confidently mitigating any risks, issues or control weaknesses that arise in your day-to-day
What we’re looking for 🌱
We value deep expertise, but a growth mindset and good energy are what really make our team click. We’re a group that chooses to lift each other up and think smart every day.
Native Mobile Expertise: You possess a deep understanding of native platform design patterns and UI. You know when to leverage common patterns and when to innovate.
You have a portfolio that proves you can take a vague problem and turn it into a shipped native product.
You are comfortable with Lean UX and moving fast. You treat process as a toolkit, not a checklist—adapting your methods to deliver value without getting bogged down.
You know your way around a Design System and can produce UI that is scalable and consistent across both web and native environments.
You are efficient, organized, and capable of building interactive, high-fidelity prototypes that accurately represent native transitions and interactions.
You are a full-stack designer. You have a deep command of UX methodology and interaction patterns. Crucially, you have the visual skill to translate robust solutions into elegant, appealing UI that thrives on small screens.
You can articulate the why behind your design decisions—including why a specific native pattern was chosen over a generic one—to stakeholders and engineers alike
We’re building a place where everyone truly feels they belong. Even if your past experience doesn't align perfectly with every requirement, we'd still love to hear from you.
Why join us? 💜
We back you to build an incredible career. As a flexible-first employer, we use a "best of both" approach. We’ll see you in our London office to collaborate – with barista coffee and subsidised Just Eat lunches on us!
