A UX-design lead with a good heart, great talent and world-class ambition

First things first:

Let’s talk about what really matters, what is truly essential to being a UX-designer lead at Fairlo.

A passion for doing good things for the users:
We believe in a fair world, even when it comes to money. We believe people deserve better. Fairlo is on a mission to level the playing field and outsmart the predatory credit market. This vision dictates that everyone at Fairlo needs to be passionate about doing good, within the framework that is an inherently shitty credit industry. For our new UX-designer this means that you need to have a heart and truly care as well as experience from financial services and a portfolio that proves both these things.

A passion for being great at what you do:
We’re looking for a hybrid polymath talent, with proven skills and craftsmanship from designing amazing user journeys as well as a knack and passion for making brand values shine through. Striking eye candy, delightful interactive elements and tasty little treats. We live by the credo that there’s never an excuse for being boring, a credo proven in no small part by our UX-design. By you, that is.

A passion for becoming a world-class leader:
We’re aiming high, not only in the scope of our fairness vision but also in terms of how ambitiously we’re approaching UX-design. We want to create a unique product experience that sets a new standard. We want to think new and experiment. We want you to grow with the task, pushing the rest of us to grow alongside you. We have our roots in Stockholm and we’re on the verge of launching in the UK and beyond that, the world. And everything in it.

Now, where we’re coming from:

Two brothers with artistic dreams. A mother with a hard will to give her children the foundation to realize them. A wallet with holes in it. The loan, which was the answer to everything, became the beginning of a disastrous journey. Because even though she paid back on time, the loan amount still increased. As did the hole in her wallet. An event that left its deep marks.

There and then, a seed was planted. A seed that has grown into a business built around mutual respect and fairness. Our solid values inspire us to consistently be innovative and create new services that surpass banks and well-known credit card brands. And the best part is we've just begun!

About Fairlo:

With innovative technology as our tool and our desire for equality as our energy, we've come far. But we're nowhere near where we want to be. Our ambition is to help millions of people get access to sustainable finances.

In 2018 we launched our first-ever service: Fairlo Varda. To this date, Varda has helped over 40,000 people access a sustainable and beneficial credit line.

With our second product, Fairlo Levla, we combined cutting edge tech and modern behavioral science to give our customers access to a tool that encourages better financial health.

We’re also happy to brag about:

• Some of Sweden's most experienced business angels and investors share our vision and support our work.

• Won the yearly accelerator program at Sting (Stockholm Innovation & Growth) in 2019, amongst a group of 19 hot startups.

• Put down roots in the UK. We'll be launching to the British public this spring.

• A team spread across three countries that's grown from 3 to 30 in just a couple of years. All working for a fair(lo) world.

• Over 3600 reviews on our Trustpilot page, with an average rating of 4.8 out of 5.0, combined with an exceptionally low customer churn.

• Our very own tech hub on Crete, developing our proprietary innovations.

• Not to forget; a competitive benefit package, a hybrid work model and a fun and caring culture that will help you to grow with us.

But most importantly, we’d like to brag about our culture:

The Fairlo culture that we cherish and are very proud of, is characterized by truly caring for each other, teamwork, courage and respect - and of course a burning passion for trying to do good and be fair in everything we do. We are convinced our strong and kind culture is one of the main reasons for Fairo's success. We are now looking for a natural team player and people oriented superstar to join us as our UX-design lead and help us become an even greater place to be and the best global financial partner out there, all based on a culture of fairness.
