Head of Design

About Qonto


We aim at building the most user-centric business bank in the world leveraging best-in-class engineering, elegant design, and outstanding customer support. Qonto is the leading business neobank in Europe, just 18 months after launch 🙏.

What does it mean for our users?

We simplify everyday banking, finance management and accounting so businesses can focus on what matters the most: creating value for their own customers. We serve companies from 1 to 250 employees in France and will launch Germany/Spain/Italy in Q2/2019.

Why do we believe Qonto will succeed?

We believe that we can reach our goal only if we follow our four values:

  • Ambition | we tackle big problems
  • Teamwork | we can only create magic by working together, at the same pace
  • Mastery | we grow and get better every day
  • Integrity | we care and respect our community

What does it mean to work at Qonto?

We are building a company model that puts Qontoers' growth at the center of our scale-up strategy. We never deviate from the following: Good Products Come From Good Thinkers. If you want to learn more about our work philosophy, feel free to read this article.

We also believe that being a Head of Design at Qonto, especially now, is a lifetime opportunity: we are scaling our team as well as expending in Europe as we speak. Also, a lot of structural things already exist but there are still much to create and put in place.

What Product and Design means for us?

Our product team's main goal is to turn knowledge and creativity into product value. As Head of Design, you will be in charge of defining and implementing the company's design strategy from product to branding as well as growing and coaching our 4-person Design team. You will work directly with Qonto's CPO (John Vars) and Qonto's Co-Founder & President (Steve Anavi). Let's make some amazing things!
