Job description

If You’re looking to shape design culture in a high impact role, we’re hiring a full‑time UI/UX Designer who will craft user experiences, drive research, and influence product evolution.

What You’ll Do

• Conduct user research (interviews, surveys, usability testing) to understand customer needs and pain points.
• Translate research insights into user journeys, personas, and workflows.
• Create wireframes, prototypes, and polished UI designs that balance usability, aesthetics, and technical feasibility.
• Define design patterns and contribute to building a scalable design system.

• Work with Product to explore concepts, iterate quickly, and validate solutions before development.
• Partner with Engineering to ensure designs are implementable, responsive, and consistent across platforms.
• Support Sales and Marketing by creating product collateral (sales decks, sheets, clickable demos) that communicate value to customers and prospects.

• Design intuitive ways to present complex datasets, dashboards, and analytics.
• Focus on clarity, interactivity, and storytelling in data‑heavy contexts.

• Introduce and champion best practices in UI/UX design (design systems, accessibility standards, usability testing frameworks).
• Educate and guide internal stakeholders on user‑centered design principles.
• Lay the foundation for future designers to join and thrive as the team grows.

Requirements

• 3‑6+ years of professional experience as a UI/UX designer (startup or enterprise).
• Strong portfolio showcasing end‑to‑end design process: research → wireframes → prototypes → final UI.
• Proven experience in mobile and responsive web applications.
• Hands‑on experience with data visualization, dashboards, or analytics tools.
• Proficiency in design tools like Figma, Sketch, Adobe XD, or similar.
• Excellent communication and facilitation skills — able to bridge product, engineering, and business teams.
• Comfortable taking initiative, making design decisions, and being the voice of design in the company.

Nice to Have

• Experience in healthcare, enterprise SaaS, or regulated industries.
• Familiarity with design systems, accessibility standards (WCAG), and responsive frameworks.
• Motion design or micro‑interactions expertise to enhance user delight.

Benefits

• Health insurance
• Business travel when needed
• 3 weeks of vacation
• 10 sick days
• Flexible work hours
• Hybrid in Toronto or Montreal
