About the Role
Hello, we’re Starling. We built a new kind of bank because we knew technology had the power to help people save, spend and manage their money in a new and transformative way. We’re a fully licensed UK bank with the culture and spirit of a fast-moving, disruptive tech company. We’re a bank, but better: fairer, easier to use and designed to demystify money for everyone. We employ more than 3,500 people across our London, Southampton, Cardiff and Manchester offices.

As a Digital Brand Designer, you'll help shape and elevate our brand identity across our primary digital touch points, with a core focus on our web experience. You won’t just be building UI components; you’ll be turning ideas into thoughtful, crafted digital experiences that capture the imagination and elevate the Starling brand. You will bring a high level of creativity to everything from major web campaigns to the small, delightful interactions that make a website sing.

You’ll collaborate closely with writers, marketing teams, data analysts, and developers to bring your visions to life. Please apply by close of business Friday 31st July.

Brand Application and Visual Consistency
Apply our visual identity consistently across web, landing pages, and digital marketing channels.

Stay aware of digital design trends, web technologies, and creative work across industries to keep our digital presence ahead of the curve.
