Selma – funded fintech team with the Swiss-Finnish flare

Selma is a friendly personal investment assistant that helps you do the right thing with your money. The web, iOS and Android based app is offered in Switzerland to nearly 10k customers. Our funded, remote-first team of 20 has office hubs in Helsinki and Zürich. 🇫🇮🇨🇭

Design-centred from the start

The 6-year old company is co-founded by a designer. All of us like to make nice things with design thinking. And, as a result, clients really seem to enjoy Selma (Swiss Google rating 4,8 ⭐️ (280+), 05/22). Our team likes to use Miro, Figma, Adobe CC, Canva and other exciting tools that make designing more accessible for all.

Join to build and grow with a talented team

This job is best suited for a confident, experienced creative who wants to focus on one product, take ownership, see the impact of design decisions immediately and eventually lead a team of their own.

• Involvement in strategic design decisions

• A unique opportunity to scale a fintech scale-up with a passionate, client-centric team

• Support and resources for you to work productively and to excel in your role

• A competitive salary package (4’400 – 5’000€), incl. options component of your choice

• Trust to manage your own work and schedule

• Ability to work remotely and/or at our Helsinki office

• Properly fun retreats with our lovely Selma crew, including dinners and padel

Appreciation for your skills

Your strong visual design skills and ability to find the optimal solutions for the job will make Selma grow further. Building towards a fresh and consistent brand and design system makes our work faster. And your ability to prioritise, involve people and work with calm endeavour will get ideas moving from vision to production smoothly.

Focus on design

Your daily work is a mix of creative thinking and hands-on graphic design. This means e.g. building towards consistent brand, asset libraries and reusable templates, making top-of-the-class designs and managing outsourced productions from the design angle.

Solve things together – in a friendly team

Our marketing team of 5 is a creative bunch of acquisition, engagement, copy and community talents. The team is led by Carina (CMO), who enjoys ideation sessions and is an expert in magically making Swiss German phrases short and punchy.  

Your “home base” is Selma’s design team. Valeria (Head of Design) and Henrik (Senior UX/UI designer) are here to provide you with guidance and peer support. The design team’s shared responsibility is to mature and shepherd the brand – making Selma look lovely and appealing across all touch points. We value smooth DesignOps and provide our team with access to well-maintained libraries and easy “DIY”-templates.
