About the role
The product designer will contribute across multiple areas of our brand, creating rich and engaging in-app experiences. The ideal designer is a hands-on, inventive individual with the ability to think from visual, UX and content perspectives. On an average day, the product designer might layout app screens, create illustrations for use across the brand, collaborate with writers, engineers and product managers to deliver quality product, create imagery for news on The Post, design financial infographics, and design assets for external communications.
Our design values
- Simplicity: there is a massive, tangled web of financial products. We work tirelessly to make Albert simple and easy to use. This is done with great design.
- Clarity: our goal is to create a transparent and straightforward experience for our users. We believe design should always elevate and enhance content, not distract from it.
- Friendly: understanding personal finances isn’t just about the numbers: building a healthier relationship with money impacts all areas of a person’s life. That extra layer of empathy is crucial to our brand.

- Detail: You have an expert eye for typography, color and layout.
- Information design: You are able to distill complex problems and information into designs that are engaging, easy to understand and simple to follow.
- User experience: Ability to think holistically, in a user-centric fashion, with a sharp eye for detail and consistency.
- Flexibility: You are comfortable laying out designs that are mainly typographic and highly informational and are also able to design and illustrate for content that is highly visual.
- Organization: Work across multiple layers of our organization, including design, product, writing, marketing, engineering, financial services and senior management.
- Communication: Keep lines of communication open and seek out feedback on a regular basis.
- Teamwork: at Albert, the underpinning of our culture is caring. We care about our customers’ financial wellness, we care about the health of our business, and we treat each other with kindness and respect.
