Job description

We’re a fast-growing team creating long-term solutions to meaningful problems. Our work combines design, data, and decision-making – building solutions that bring clarity to systematic challenges and helping our clients make informed decisions at scale. We’re committed to a culture that values thoughtful iteration, open dialogue, and inclusive problem-solving.

Your Impact :

Are you a passionate, detailed Product Designer who thrives on turning ambiguity into opportunity and creative thinking into real-world outcomes? This is your opportunity to join a product-driven environment where design plays a central role in navigating complexity and creating meaningful solutions.

As a Product Designer, you will collaborate with product managers, engineers, and other stakeholders to lead experiences from concept to execution. You’ll bring both a designer’s toolkit and a product strategist’s mindset – using user research to identify needs, working with data to uncover insights, and translating both into clear, impactful designs.

Your Superpowers :

• You’re self-directed and comfortable owning your work from start to finish.
• You lead with curiosity, ask thoughtful questions, and thrive in ambiguity.
• You have a passion for turning insights into action, applying both qualitative and quantitative research methods to understand behaviours, find opportunities, and support design decisions.
• You balance user needs, business goals, and technical realities with sound judgement.
• You collaborate with stakeholders and communicate with clarity and empathy.
• You care deeply about impact and work best in environments built on honesty, feedback, and shared accountability.

What You’ll Do :

• Identify research gaps, plan studies, and run effective user research to transform that data into design decisions that are intuitive and usable.
• Design end-to-end, build-ready experiences for a new SaaS platform – including defining jobs-to-be-done, mapping information architecture, and establishing clear nomenclature.
• Bring concepts to life, creating key design artifacts such as journey maps, user flows, wireframes, and interactive prototypes.
• Collaborate with product managers, engineers, and other stakeholders to shape and deliver high-quality solutions.
• Maintain high design standards, leveraging your toolkit to maintain product consistency and effectiveness.
• Partner with the CETO to align UX strategy with roadmap milestones and product development goals.

What You Bring :

• 4+ years of experience as a Product Designer in early and mid-stage SaaS environments.
• 4+ years of experience working with design tools and building high-quality prototypes.
• A strong track record of translating complex technical solutions into intuitive, user-centric digital products.

What We Offer :

• Competitive Compensation :

Salary Range : $120,000 - $140,000 CAD per year

• Bonus and ESOP structure
• Paid Time Off : 3+ weeks
• Comprehensive benefits to support your health and well-being
• Well-funded, fast-growing company backed by strong product vision and long-term strategy.
• Purpose-driven mission where your work contributes to real-world impact.
• Ongoing support for personal and professional growth
• A culture rooted in research and experimentation, where inclusion and diversity of thought lead to smarter ideas and better outcomes.
