We’re looking for a UI/UX Designer to own and push forward all aspects of our user experience - be it engaging our customers' employees through our mobile apps or guiding HR through creating and administering their benefits programme through our SaaS tools. You will work at the heart of our small team in an exciting role that spans Product, Marketing and Engineering, to build products that are functional to use, beautiful to see, and solidly coded.

1/ Our Mission

Ben is building the best way for companies to care for and partner with their teams.

The way companies reward their people today is broken - it's a rigid, one-size-fits-all approach that hasn't evolved to meet the demands of the modern workforce. How we work is changing, but compensation - salary, bonus, equity, benefits - still takes the form of a static paper slip or PDF. Ben is changing that, starting with benefits.

Ben enables companies to provide benefits that teams will actually love, with zero hassle. We issue prepaid payment cards to each team member, so people can choose how they want to be rewarded.

We're proud to be backed by two of Europe's leading VC funds and the people behind companies such as Indeed, Transferwise, Workday, Nested and GoCardless.

2/ Your Mission

As the owner of UI/UX at Ben, you'll be in charge of thinking through what the best product experience should look like both for our customers' teams who engage with our products every day as well as HR as they create and manage their benefits programme. Our ambition is to to build a consumer-grade brand in B2B - and the user experience is at the core of that.

We’re looking for self-starters who are seeking a fast-paced environment where they can make a difference. Our team is small, which means high autonomy, ownership, and responsibility. We love what we do, have fun and, while we ship on time, take life-work balance seriously.
