Job description

7shifts is a scheduling and payroll platform designed to help restaurant teams thrive. With an easy-to-use app and industry-specific solutions, 7shifts saves time, reduces errors, and helps keep costs in check for over 55,000 restaurants. Our mission is to simplify team management and improve performance for restaurants, with a long-term vision of creating a thriving restaurant industry through the power of connected & engaged teams.

As a Growth Designer at 7shifts, you’ll design and execute experiments that drive conversion, activation, and engagement across key product experiences. Reporting to the Manager, Product Design, you’ll work closely with product managers, marketers, engineers, and analysts to identify opportunities and deliver data-informed solutions. You thrive on curiosity, iteration, and outcome-focused work, leveraging user insights and performance metrics to guide decisions. Balancing business and user needs, you’ll rapidly prototype, test, and optimize experiences without compromising usability or quality. Your impact will be seen through measurable improvements in growth and performance.
We’re building an inclusive work environment that is representative of the diverse industry we have the pleasure of serving, and encourage candidates from all backgrounds to apply.

What you’ll do:

• Design and execute experiments to improve key growth and expansion metrics (e.g., signup rate, onboarding completion, retention)
• Own and optimize user journeys from first touch to engaged user — landing pages, onboarding and setup flows, paywalls, and more
• Collaborate with product managers, marketers, analysts, and engineers to ship tests with measurable outcomes
• Analyze quantitative and qualitative data to generate insights, validate hypotheses, and guide design decisions
• Design rapid prototypes and iterate based on real user behaviour and test results
• Balance speed and quality, focusing on impact without sacrificing user experience
• Champion growth thinking within the design team, advocating for experimentation and data literacy
• Leverage and contribute to our Design system throughout the design process

What you bring:

• Experience in product or UX/UI design, with a focus on growth, experimentation, or performance-driven design
• A portfolio showcasing data-informed design decisions and measurable impact on key product or business metrics
• Deep understanding of user psychology, conversion funnels, and behaviour-driven design principles
• Experience designing and iterating on landing pages, onboarding flows, paywalls, or other key growth surfaces
• Familiarity with A/B testing tools (e.g., Optimizely, Amplitude, or similar) and the ability to interpret test results to inform design decisions
• Collaborative communicator who works cross-functionally with product, engineering, marketing, and data teams, effectively advocating for both user needs and business goals through clear storytelling
• Brings a growth mindset and a bias toward action, with a passion for rapid prototyping, experimentation, and solving problems through design, data, and iteration

It’d be even cooler if you had:

• Previous experience in the restaurant-tech industry or working in a restaurant

Our commitment to our Shifties:

• Opportunity: Our product is evolving in exciting ways, and we’re focused on delivering even more value to restaurants. This momentum creates real opportunities to learn and grow. Whether you’re honing your craft or exploring new paths, you’ll be supported and empowered to own your growth and impact a product shaping the future of the restaurant industry.
• Challenge: We’re tackling real problems in a fast-moving, complex industry. The work is scrappy and ambiguous, but meaningful. You’ll think critically, act with intention, and shape solutions that make a real difference for restaurant teams.
• Culture:We’re proud to be recognized among the best workplaces in North America. Guided by our mission and values, we move fast to solve meaningful problems and celebrate wins together. Whether through in-office and remote events, team offsites like Sparks, or everyday moments of connection, we create space for shared growth, collaboration, and fun.
• Equity: We’re a Series C, VC-backed SaaS company, and we believe everyone should share in the success they help create. When we build together, we grow together.
• Health and Wellness:We support Shifties in and outside of work, knowing that what people need can change over time. From day one, you’ll have access to benefits like health and dental, lifestyle spending accounts to a parental leave program built with flexibility in mind, to help you bring your best self to work.
• Flexibility:Our team is intentional around how and where we work, whether remotely, in person, or a mix of both. We prioritize candidates who thrive in a hybrid work environment with offices in Saskatoon and Toronto, ensuring in-person collaboration and connection when possible. Plus, we offer a flexible vacation policy to encourage everyone to recharge when needed. Oh, and our ‘90 Day Shift’ program lets Shift work from (almost) anywhere because who wouldn’t want to trade their desk for a beach view once in a while?
• Support: We set Shifties up for success with the tools they need, like the latest Apple tech, a home office setup, and some 7shifts swag to make it official. But support goes beyond day one. We’re serious about professional growth, offering coaching, feedback, development planning, and opportunities to grow from within.

We know you might not check every box, and that’s okay. If you’re excited about this role, inspired to contribute to a meaningful product, and eager to share ideas that drive real change, we’d love to hear from you. We’re building an inclusive team that reflects the diverse industry we serve, and we welcome applicants from all backgrounds.

We thank you for your interest in joining the 7shifts team!
