Senior Product Designer

What’s Yonder?

“It's as if Time Out, Amex and Monzo had a baby” - Will T, Yonder Member

Yonder combines credit and debit in one membership that’s fair, flexible and actually enjoyable. No jargon. No dusty points system. Just rewards that actually feel rewarding, from bao to beer to a boarding pass.

We're a small, ambitious team, and design sits right at the heart of how we grow. We're looking for a Senior Product Designer to help take us there.

Design isn’t just making something look good. It’s how a new member decides they can trust us with their money. It’s how we take something as complex as a credit account and make it simple, clear and fun. It’s how we turn rewards into something you actually look forward to using, rather than just a bunch of useless points you never touch.

That’s why design sits right at the centre here. You’ll be given big, ambiguous problems and trusted to figure them out with your team. The expectation is that you care deeply about the quality and detail of your work, as much as the larger ambition driving everything we do.

You’ll join a small team where design carries real weight, in a lean squad with a product manager and two engineers. You'll lead the design and research for your squad, owning your product area end to end, taking problems from a rough idea to something in members' hands quickly. You'll be:

• Solving ambiguous problems. You'll take difficult, knotty problems, like making a credit account as simple to understand as a current account, and work out how design cracks them: the end-to-end flows and prototypes that turn something complex into something effortless.
• Crafting experiences people love using. Yonder feels different from other finance apps because of how much we obsess over the craft. You'll design beautiful, enjoyable products that feel premium and worth coming back to.
• Running your own research. Designers here don’t sit at arm’s length from members. You'll speak with them directly, test concepts, run usability sessions and use those insights to guide what we build.
• Working shoulder to shoulder with your squad. You'll work in the open with your PM and engineers from the first sketch, solving problems together so the final product feels like it was built by one team.
• Balancing speed with polish. Some weeks you'll put scrappy ideas in front of members just to learn. Other times you'll slow right down to get the details right. Knowing which a problem needs is part of the job.
• Evolving our design system. You'll add to it, refine it and keep it pulling its weight, so it helps the whole team move fast without losing consistency or quality.

• You operate at a senior level. You can own problems without close direction, make the call on what matters most, and see the roadblocks coming. You're not counting years on a CV, but you've shipped enough consumer products to work this way without thinking about it.
• You’ve designed world-class mobile apps. You've shipped native experiences people love, and you treat mobile as its own craft. Yonder lives on a smartphone, and we hold a very high bar for how it feels.
• You are a confident generalist. You're comfortable across the whole design spectrum. We don't have researchers, content designers or copywriters to lean on, so you're happy switching hats and covering the gaps.
• You sweat the visual details. Typography, layout, colour, spacing, hierarchy. You believe these are what separate a good product from one that feels effortless, and you can't leave them alone until they're right.
• You communicate openly and often. You share early, bring people into your process and see engineers and PMs as creative partners.
• You care about impact, not output. You believe shipping a feature doesn’t count unless it genuinely helps members. You track the impact of what you build, not just the volume.
• You work like it's 2026. You experiment with new tools and ways of working. We use AI a lot, and we want someone curious enough to find the edges of what it can do for design.

• You’d rather wait for instructions than take ownership. We expect designers to run with…
