Freelance Senior Product Designer, Fintech | Remote UK | £400/day | Outside IR35 | 6 months
A fintech building a brand new digital banking product needs a freelance Senior Product Designer to own the operational, agent-facing side of the build. This is the engine room: the internal tooling the bank's own people rely on to serve customers. Think case management, agent helpdesks, manager dashboards and Customer 360 views. Complex, data-dense work where the detail decides how well the bank runs.
You will be embedded from day one, working end to end from journey mapping through to shipped screens. Multiple connected systems and real ambiguity from the start, so you bring the structure rather than wait for it. The split is roughly 50% UX and 50% UI, so you are as happy untangling a messy flow as sweating the detail on a dense screen.
What you need:
- Senior product design experience, UX and UI in equal measure
- Fintech or financial services experience, a genuine must
- Solid mobile app design experience, non-negotiable
- Strong systems thinking, sharp visual detail, and confident communication of your rationale to stakeholders
- Figma primary, comfortable in Atlassian day to day
- UK timezone, ideally London for occasional meet ups
- Really hot slick UI, not corporate UI, they are looking for a minimal start up vive FinTech UI
- Bonus points for RTL Arabic experience, as the product serves an Arabic-speaking market, and for any real experience with AI-assisted design workflows.
The details: Rate £400 per day. Length 6 months, with genuine potential to extend. Start Monday 6th July. Remote, UK timezone essential, London preferred for occasional meet ups. Occasional paid travel to Cairo. Full time, 5 days a week. Outside IR35, Limited company or Umbrella only, no sole traders.
