We need a junior web designer to join our fast growing web team.
We want someone who’ll bring creative flair tempered with web design best practice, and technical skills to build the designs they sketch out.
You’ll be a key part of a tightknit team tasked with building and scaling Chip’s website.
This job is perfect if you love tinkering with websites and new tech, and enjoy playing with a website to build, grow and improve it with new functionality. So we’d hope you're technically minded and confident with a range of tech and software that goes into building a website.
We use a CMS called Webflow, which is designed to empower designers to develop websites, so bonus points if you’ve used it before (or something like Webflow, i.e. another similar no-code website builder).
But above all, this is a design job, so we’d expect you to bring some serious creative ambition and eye for design to the job, the bolder the better.
This is a junior role, so we don’t expect you to bring years of experience, but we do want to see a portfolio of work, an aptitude for design (with professional skills and training), and some experience of working with a team in a professional environment would be useful.
Ultimately this will be a very rewarding role for someone with drive and who wants to design and build an amazing website. There’s space if you like to work autonomously and take initiative, and lots of room to grow. But you won’t be alone, as you’ll be part the wider design and Marketing teams, with experienced colleagues on hand to help you

What we’re really looking for: ✍️
Someone with a genuine interest in Chip and is excited about being part of a fast-growing company and our mission to build the investment super app of the future.
Although we’re in the financial space, and under the scrutiny that comes with it, the current marketing team works well together, and even sometimes with a smile. We’re sure you’ve got the technical skills, otherwise, you would have stopped reading by now, so let us be clear on what will make us want to work with you.
We want a real person, with interests outside of work, to join our team. You could be a dancer, a gamer, a musician, a parent, a hockey fan, or even that one person that still writes Twilight fan-fiction. Doesn’t matter to us.
At the interview stages, we will be looking for empathy, eq, fun stories, and the ability to smile even when things are tough.
