You’re passionate about sharing your knowledge, and raising the bar for design practice at Punk Money. Previous experience mentoring designers is a big plus.
You understand that writing is designing, you’re a confident writer, and the copy in your screens is clear never an afterthought.

OUR VALUES
From the first hire to the last, from the most junior to the most senior it is important that everyone shares our core values:
Make it Happen: Punk’s always been a DIY culture and we’re all about getting things done. We’re after people who share this ethos, who roll up their sleeves and get stuck in and make amazing things happen.
Be a Champion: We’re a champion of the people. We stand for the little guy, the overlooked, the ripped-off and abused. We’re here to make a difference to people’s lives, not to challenge other companies.
Be Excellent to Each Other: This is us to the core. It means, do what’s right for all parties involved, even if it’s hard to achieve.
Be Brave: We’re the rebels with a cause. We’ve been ripped off by banks long enough. Now is the time to fight back, to unite, to create new services which are fairer, cheaper and easier to use.
Community First: This is at the heart of everything we do. We unite people and solve their problems as a collective allowing them to better understand their finances and get out of debt and invest their savings in other members so that everyone prospers.
If you think this sounds like your kind of place to work then we’d love to hear from you
