Investments

Chip Financial (Investments) Ltd is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority, under firm reference number 1005114. When investing your capital is at risk, and the value of your investments can go up as well as down and you may receive less than your original investment.

Chip does not provide investment advice, and you as an individual investor should make your own decisions or seek professional independent advice. Your money may be protected up to £85,000 by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (“FSCS”) under their Investment Scheme. This means that in the event Chip Financial (Investments) Ltd is declared to be in default and cannot meet their obligations, you may be able to claim compensation.

Job Description

We need a junior web designer to join our fast growing web team.

We want someone who’ll bring creative flair tempered with web design best practice, and technical skills to build the designs they sketch out.

You’ll be a key part of a tightknit team tasked with building and scaling Chip’s website.

This job is perfect if you love tinkering with websites and new tech, and enjoy playing with a website to build, grow and improve it with new functionality. So we’d hope you're technically minded and confident with a range of tech and software that goes into building a website.

We use a CMS called Webflow, which is designed to empower designers to develop websites, so bonus points if you’ve used it before (or something like Webflow, i.e. another similar no-code website builder).

But above all, this is a design job, so we’d expect you to bring some serious creative ambition and eye for design to the job, the bolder the better.

What You Can Expect To Be Doing

• Working within our web team to build and maintain a beautiful high performance website
• Designing web pages and customer journey flows
• Playing an integral part of the design team to embed our brand design system in the website
• Collaborating with content marketers to create compelling narratives to sell our products and make finance simple
• Working closely with performance marketers to improve web click through rates and SEO performance

What We’re Looking For

• Evidence of design ability, specifically web design (a portfolio of work)
• Experience with designing with Webflow (or similar web design CMS), and developing and maintaining the built-in Webflow CMS
• Experienced with Figma (or similar design platform)
• Basic working knowledge of HTML and CSS
• Confident using third party tools to extend functionality of Webflow (such as: LottieFiles, Zapier, Make)
• Understanding of plug and play API tools (Zapier or similar)
• Confidence to tinker with tech to learn and master new softwares and functionalities
• Switched on to design trends and best practices for web
• Impressive attention to detail
• Have worked in collaborative environment

Nice to haves

• Basic Javascript knowledge
• Experience with other creative tools (photography, filming etc.)
• Experience working and evolving an existing brand
• Interest in finance, and ability to create clear designs which help our audience navigate and understand financial products in a smart and straightforward way
• Experienced with Adobe CC including After Effects, Premiere Pro, Photoshop, InDesign and Illustrator

What we’re really looking for:

Someone with a genuine interest in Chip and is excited about being part of a fast-growing company and our mission to build the investment super app of the future.

Although we’re in the financial space, and under the scrutiny that comes with it, the current marketing team works well together, and even sometimes with a smile. We’re sure you’ve got the technical skills, otherwise, you would have stopped reading by now, so let us be clear on what will make us want to work with you.

We want a real person, with interests outside of work, to join our team. You could be a dancer, a gamer, a musician, a parent, a hockey fan, or even that one person that still writes Twilight fan-fiction. Doesn’t matter to us.
