Job description

Hi there! Thanks for stopping by

Are you actively looking for a new opportunity? Or just checking the market? Well… you might just be in the right place!

We are looking for a talented digital Senior Product Designer to join our Financial Services team. Your primary focus will involve collaborating to create exceptional user experiences through a combination of user research, design, and prototyping.

The Financial Services team helps shape seamless, world-class experiences across Payments and Capital products. Success in this role means designing experiences that are: Integrated – Payments feel native across every surface and workflow; Invisible – Friction is eliminated; we get out of the user’s way; Instant – Funds are fast, accessible, and clearly accounted for. The ideal candidate is an experienced Product Designer who is comfortable working in a fast-paced environment with complex, interconnected problems at scale. You excel at identifying opportunities to deliver value and thrive in collaborative environments, working closely with engineers and product managers to create exceptional customer experiences.

What you’ll do:

• Lead project work from a design perspective with autonomy and authority, facilitating design reviews and working sessions to help the teams deliver the best possible solutions
• Leverage your UX expertise and deep understanding of design systems, UI design, and how micro-interactions can help users complete a task
• Turn nebulous concepts into specific ideas that are useful and delightful product features
• Design holistic systems, flows and interfaces that are simple, elegant, and user-friendly
• Understand how to use the current design system best to ensure consistency across platforms and contribute to its continuous improvement
• Draw insights from research and data, and know how to turn those insights into tangible solutions
• Build relationships and advocate for the user when collaborating with cross-functional teams in product, engineering, and marketing.
• Be a positive role model and culture carrier within the studio as well as an advocate for design within the Lightspeed organization.

What you need to bring:

• At least 5 years of practical, in-house product, UX/UI design experience.
• Excellent communication skills. You can bring internal stakeholders on your design journey and explain work with focus and brevity.
• Strong aesthetic skills to help elevate the visual identity of our brands.
• Applied experience with service design practices and a curiosity to evolve your design process.
• Applied experience working across all digital and physical manifestations of what we design - from the responsive web to native applications to the next technological leap.
• Experience leveraging AI tools to aid in the product design process to deliver better, more user-centered products.
• Fluency in use of design systems, prototyping, and user research methodologies.
• An acute level of self-awareness and deep empathy - for both the customer and your team’s goals.
• A deep curiosity and ability to consider product strategy and vision. You don’t just care about “how it looks,” or “what we should design,” but “why are we designing this at all?”
• An arsenal of design tools such as Figma, Google Suite, JIRA, and other prototyping tools.

We know that people are more than what’s on their CV. If you’re unsure that you have the right profile for the role... hit the ‘Apply’ button and give it a try!

What’s in it for you?:

You’ll enjoy:

• A flexible work environment that empowers you to do your best work
• A culture that celebrates performance
• The chance to make an impact in a team that’s big enough for career growth, but lean enough to make your voice heard
• Career-defining opportunities

Plus benefits designed to keep you happy, healthy and fulfilled.

• Flexible paid time off and remote work policies
• Equity options, because this is your company too
• Contributions to your pension plan. Your future matters
• Training opportunities to grow your skills and career
• Health and wellness credit so you feel your best
