You’ll be working across two product, Bean (https://www.usebean.com), and a new open banking project. Bean set out to help people save money and optimise their outgoings through scanning their bank transactions and identifying recurring spend. Our purpose is to ensure people only spend what they needed to spend by cancelling what isn’t needed and switching to cheaper alternatives. Far too many companies use user apathy to charge more. Bean aims to stop that. Ultimately we want to help people improve their finances and take the stress out of it. Post BGL acquisition, we’re looking to massively scale this and fully embrace open banking.

If you’re interested, please send your CV to jobs@usebean.com.

**What we want:**

Someone who wants to use their skills to help people rather than getting them hooked, spend money, etc

Gets their kicks from users using their work, not white paper implementations.

Not scared of learning new things. Can bring their new learnings to their job and team.

Is team orientated. We deliver as a team, we fail as a team. No rockstars, ninjas or any other self absorbed titles.
