The company
Small businesses move fast. Opportunities often don’t wait, and cash flow pressures can appear overnight. To keep going, and
growing, SMEs need finance that’s as flexible and responsive as they are.
That's why we built iwoca. Our smart technology, data science and five-star customer service ensures business owners can act with
the speed, confidence and control they need, exactly when it's needed.
We’ve already cleared the way for 100,000 businesses with more than £4 billion in funding. Our passionate team is driven to help
even more SMEs succeed, through access to better finance and other services that make running a business easier. Our ultimate
mission is to support one million SMEs in their defining moments, creating lasting impact for the communities and economies they
drive.
The team
The Website team sits within the Brand team and is part of the wider Direct Acquisition team, which also includes Sales and
Performance Marketing. The Brand team is relatively new and is tasked with ensuring we show up consistently, with authority and
credibility. It’s also responsible for creating demand at the top of the funnel, as well as empowering marketing, sales, and the
wider business.
The role
We're looking for someone who is excited to both design and build digital experiences. You have a solid grasp of design
fundamentals, basic frontend development skills, and are actively integrating AI into your workflow.
Working alongside our senior team members, you’ll build and update pages, maintain reusable components, and continuously refine
the site to ensure it looks great, supports our brand strategy, and reflects our position as one of the UK’s leading fintechs.
We currently use Webflow to build and manage our website, and we’ll support you in learning the platform. Direct Webflow
experience isn't essential-a strong foundational understanding of HTML and CSS, a good eye for design, and an eagerness to develop
your skills are what matter most. We may also look to move away from Webflow and build on our own infrastructure in the future,
giving you the opportunity to help shape our future approach.
You’ll be responsible for:
Drive our site’s visual identity
Design and implement reusable components and page templates that empower other team members to create their own pages
Be responsible for our website design system, making key decisions on everything from fonts to layouts
Lead on elevating and upholding our brand identity on the site
Collaborate and grow
Bring our new products and ventures to market, working with teams across the business to tell their story
Work with analysts to uncover quantitative and qualitative insights that inform design decisions
Tap into the community of iwoca designers and frontend engineers to work on solutions and develop your skillset
Example projects
Building out a scalable website component library
Exploring how animation can support our brand narrative
Designing a high impact landing page for an ad campaign
Implementing features to make our digital experience more personalised
Requirements
Essential:
You apply core design principles confidently and creatively
You have a basic understanding of HTML and CSS
You have a systematic approach to design, and enjoy making things organised and structured
Bonus
Knowledge of JavaScript
Experience building and maintaining websites in Webflow
Experience developing a design system
Knowledge of Figma
Experience using animation in design
Experience working in a commercial environment - balancing technical, resource and revenue constraints
The salary
We expect to pay from £40,000 - £50,000 for this role. But, we’re open-minded, so definitely include your salary goals with your
application. We routinely benchmark salaries against market rates, and run quarterly performance and salary reviews.
The culture

members. We value thought and skill diversity, and encourage you to explore new areas of interest to help us innovate and improve
