Job description

Overview

Lightspeed is seeking a UX Designer to join our Brand Creative team. Based in Montreal, this role partners with Brand, Dev, Growth and Product Marketing teams to design compelling, conversion-driven digital experiences across our marketing channels. You’ll shape how we communicate our value proposition to high-GTV retailers and restaurateurs across the web. This is a high-impact, high-visibility role focused on creating thoughtful, scalable user experiences on Lightspeed’s most important marketing surfaces, especially the website and lifecycle touch points.

You bring a strategic mindset, a strong grasp of UX fundamentals, and a passion for bridging business objectives with user needs. You’ll contribute to a globally distributed UX Design team that’s evolving how we think, design, test and deliver digital experiences for performance and brand affinity.

What you’ll be doing

• UX Leadership
  • Lead the UX execution of digital projects across the homepage, product verticals, landing pages, and lifecycle marketing.
  • Translate marketing briefs into elegant, scalable UX solutions with measurable business impact.
  • Own wireframes, flows, and UX patterns that form the foundation of our digital marketing experience.
  • Think like a system designer: contribute to and extend our modular component library with reusability, scalability and performance in mind.
• Design & Execution
  • Deliver presentation-ready design concepts that show strategic depth and executional polish.
  • Confidently balance brand constraints, business goals, and UX best practices.
  • Ensure consistency and scalability through design systems and documentation.
  • Apply CRO and A/B testing insights into ongoing UX improvements and design rationale.
• Strategic Thinking
  • Collaborate closely with developers, marketers, and brand designers to shape the user experience through a brand and performance lens.
  • Identify opportunities to improve lead conversion through UX enhancements, customer journey audits, and cross-channel experience alignment.
  • Advocate for user needs while also delivering against roadmap goals.
  • Maintain a high standard in design documentation and archive management.
• Collaboration & Communication
  • Present design work and UX strategy clearly to non-design stakeholders.
  • Advocate for the design team in meetings and contribute to process improvement.
  • Build strong relationships with cross-functional peers and managers from Brand, WebDev, Marketing, Product & Growth.
  • Lead meetings and creative discussions when required, inspiring and motivating the team.
  • Determine goals and objectives of design briefs and provide feedback and guidance to stakeholders.
  • Help shape how UX collaborates inside the marketing org and how we scale this function globally.
  • Contribute to building a positive, inclusive, and high-performing global UX culture.

Additional responsibilities

• Contributing to user testing and competitive audits to inform design.
• Recommending tools and workflows to help us scale the UX function inside Brand.
• Pitching ideas, facilitating feedback, and helping push the boundaries of how UX Design is done in SaaS environments.
• Partnering with team members across APAC, EMEA, and NOAM asynchronously.

What you need to bring

• 4+ years of UX Design experience in brand, performance marketing, SaaS, retail or e-commerce.
• A portfolio that showcases strategic UX thinking, design quality, and measurable outcomes.
• Proven work in modular design systems and CMS-based environments.
• Experience working closely with marketing, brand, product and web development teams.
• Comfortable presenting ideas clearly and facilitating stakeholder input.
• Strong proficiency in Figma and a good understanding of front-end implementation.
• Bonus: Experience with motion graphics, UI design and branding.
• As a global company with employees and clients outside of Quebec, fluency in English as a working language is required for this position.
