About Starling
At Starling, we are on a mission to provide people with a fairer, smarter, and more human alternative to traditional banks. We are building a leading digital bank, driven by fast technology, fair service, and honest values. Our vision is to create a banking industry that serves everyone, which we accomplish by developing best-in-class proprietary technology, offering an exceptional customer experience, and establishing a strong, sustainable business.
Our five core values – Listen, Keep It Simple, Do The Right Thing, Own It, and Aim for Greatness – are at the heart of everything we do, guiding our strategy and shaping our culture. We're a branchless, largely paperless bank, committed to responsible banking, sustainability, and fostering an inclusive environment where everyone can thrive.
Working Hours: You will work a 37.5 hour week, with shifts between 9am - 5:30pm, Monday - Friday.
Hybrid working: All Starling colleagues spend a minimum of 10 days per month in the office with flexibility to work the rest from home.
As a Motion Designer, you’ll help shape how Starling comes to life through motion. Working across brand, marketing, campaigns and social, you’ll create thoughtful, expressive and beautifully crafted work that brings our ideas and personality to life.
Motion is an important part of our brand identity. We’ve developed a distinctive motion language built around confidence, clarity and a playful human touch. You’ll help build on this foundation, finding new and interesting ways to bring consistency, character and creativity to everything we make.
You’ll have an exceptional eye for motion, with a strong instinct for timing, rhythm, typography and storytelling. Whether it’s a big campaign or the smallest animated detail, you’ll understand how purposeful movement can make an idea more engaging, memorable and effective.
You’ll work closely with designers, writers and marketers, taking ideas from initial concept through to final execution. You’ll be curious, collaborative and passionate about your craft, always looking for opportunities to push the work further.

Hello, we’re Starling.
Banking was broken – so we decided to fix it. The vision? Fast technology, fair service and honest values. All at the tap of a phone, all the time.
We built Britain’s first digital bank.
One hard-won banking licence later, we set about giving people a new way to spend, save and manage their money (and take better care of the planet, too).
We’re changing banking for good.
Back then, we were obsessed with unravelling the knotty world of finance and solving people’s problems rather than selling them stuff. We still are.
Since then, we’ve grown. A lot.
Over four million accounts (and four account types!). A team of thousands. Headquartered in London with offices in Cardiff, Dublin, Manchester and Southampton. Seven years voted Which? Recommended Provider and Britain's Best Banking Brand. Still zero branches.
Our culture is open, inclusive and focused on solving real customer problems, with an emphasis on doing the right thing, even when it’s not always the easy thing. From our approach to working together and sustainability to how we build our products, our decisions need to make the world – and Starling – a better place to be.
Everyone at Starling is essential to our mission, which is really quite simple: to solve our customer’s problems – and build the best bank in the world!
And now we're providing Starling to other banks, via a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) proposition through our subsidiary Engine by Starling, using the proprietary technology platform that it uses to power our own bank.
