About Salary Finance
Salary Finance is underpinned by a social purpose. Through technology and innovation, we strive to make the lives of millions of working people less stressful, more productive and much happier.
We partner with employers to offer financial wellbeing benefits that help employees live healthier, happier lives. We do this by offering simple savings, access to pay as it is earned, and affordable loans – all underpinned by accessible, engaging money management tips and tools.
Launched in 2015, we have made excellent progress, and are scaling fast. We are named BITC’s Responsible Business of the Year 2018, included in KPMG’s Global Fintech 100, listed top of the Forbes’ list of socially-responsible startups, and profiled by the Financial Times, the Times, the Wall Street Journal, the Guardian and the Telegraph.
We were co-founded by entrepreneurs Asesh Sarkar (CEO), Daniel Shakhani, and former Head of Google UK and Ireland Dan Cobley (Chairman) and are authorised by the FCA.
Your Role in Our Mission

You’ll be part of a growing Product Team, with an initial focus on an entirely new Product. You’ll be working extensively with potential customers, Product Designers and stakeholders from across the business to identify customer problems, draft solutions, prioritise them and then communicate those solutions to the delivery team.
Your day-to-day will vary widely, from running customer interviews to working with 3rd party implementation teams and getting SF team members excited about the product. We want to keep you on your toes – one thing’s for sure: you’ll always be learning here. Don’t worry – you’ll be working with a world-class Product team so you’ll have the opportunity to learn from doing as well as from your colleagues.
