Senior Product Designer in City of London

About Freetrade

Freetrade’s mission is to become the default place to invest. Investing has been too complicated and expensive for too long, keeping millions from making the most of their savings. We’re changing that. We’re building our team and looking for people who are excited to reshape how our customers invest and grow their wealth. If you’re driven by solving complex problems and building innovative products, you’ll fit right in.

2025 is a big year for us. In January, we announced a game changing deal to become part of the IG Group. We’ll continue to operate as an independent business while gaining access to the resources and support of an established leader in the space. This year, we’re accelerating our roadmap and taking our products to the next level. We’re building new features like mutual funds, bonds, and family investment tools. We’re also exploring how we can leverage AI to deliver an even better experience for our customers.

Why join the Design Team at Freetrade?

We’re looking for a Senior Product Designer to help define and elevate our product experience. You’ll be part of a cross‑functional team, working alongside Product, Engineering, and Data to solve meaningful problems for investors. Our Design team is hands‑on at every stage, from research to final implementation, crafting simple, elegant solutions that remove barriers to investing. With Freetrade growing and evolving, this is an exciting opportunity to shape the future of our product and have a lasting impact.

You will:

• Conceive, design, and ship new products and features that will excite our customers and aim to make their financial lives better.
• Contribute to and maintain our Design System foundation for iOS, Android, and responsive Web, aligned with our Design Principles.
