Web Designer - Direct Acquisition

Website designer (Webflow) - Direct Acquisition Hybrid in London

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 Brand team sits within the wider Direct Acquisition team, which also includes sales and 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 an experienced website designer to own and steward the visual identity of our customer facing website. This includes ensuring it looks great, showcases our brand, supports our conversion strategy, and reflects our position as one of the UK’s leading fintechs. You’ll manage and evolve our website design system in Webflow, while also designing ad hoc layouts and one-off pages as needed. You’ll be the go-to person for visual assets, such as images and compositions, that fit seamlessly within our defined website components, ensuring everything is consistent, scalable, and easy to update. You’ll also collaborate closely with the Senior Website Owner and teams across the business to bring our brand to life online. This role also involves hands-on implementation, so while direct Webflow experience isn’t required, we expect a strong candidate to have a good experience of front-end development principles and to be comfortable bringing systematic designs to life in the platform.
