Ideally, seeing misaligned buttons or clashing colours on a website makes you want to #facepalm. But not only that, it gives you a tingle in your fingertips and makes you want to jump headfirst into improving the site. In short, you show initiative.

You’ll be the deity of design, working with the Marketing and Development teams to refresh and develop our design, implement new promotions and beautify interfaces. In fact, since you’ll be the only fully-fledged designer in the team, you will own the design process, giving you a unique chance to leave your mark on the UK’s biggest and most established money marketplace.

The position would suit a creative mind with some experience in the design field, who can self-manage and thrives for pixel perfect design, and wants the opportunity to take significant responsibility for Zopa’s web design and brand. You will have a direct positive impact on our business and learn a tremendous amount in the process.

For those of you who like lists, Zopa would like you to:

• Have around 2+ years’ experience with online design, from creating user interfaces to simple landing pages to improve conversations.
• Be competent with Adobe CS suite, particularly Photoshop and Illustrator.
• Understand HTML / CSS / JS and standards compliance, although you don’t need to be a coder.
