Senior Product Designer

Headquarters: Canada
URL: https://pixel-one.com/

Full-time · Remote (Canada based preferred)

Pixel One is a design studio for ambitious B2B SaaS teams. We embed with our clients, join their standups, and stay with their product as it evolves. Average client retention is 24+ months, which means you'll see what your work does to a business over years, not weeks.

We're looking for a Senior Product Designer to own client work from concept through final delivery. This is not a role where you execute someone else's brief. You'll understand the business strategy behind each project, identify the user experience problems our client's customers have been stuck on, and use design to solve them.

You'll work directly with our leadership, our client's leadership, our design leads and you'll direct specialists in motion, and illustration on your projects.

Qualifications

• 7+ years designing digital products (ideally with an agency)
• Strong fundamentals:
  • Excellence in communication (can communicate with a team and various stakeholders)
  • Excellence in aesthetic (UI/Visual design)
  • Excellence in craft (Figma Hygiene, design principles and delight)
  • Excellence in strategy (Can interpret vague requirements and clarify them + can drive product change through compelling concepts, prototypes and mockups)
• Expert-level Figma. Comfort with prototyping (AI or traditional tools) and motion is a strong plus
• Ability to effectively prioritize tasks and delegate work to a teammate (production designer)
• Confident communicator who can present and defend work directly to senior clients and founders. Our clients are opinionated and educated about design, it's not your typical agency! You will need to defend great design less vigorously but it will be expected more often.
• Comfortable with ambiguity and able to move fast without dropping quality
• Self-driven and organized enough to run your own project workflows without being managed

Responsibilities

• Produce design work at a consistently high quality tier, with meticulous attention to craft, precision, and completeness.
• Define the design challenge at a strategic level, connecting solutions to client goals, strategy, and business vision. Identify the historical positioning problems behind each brief and design with those in mind
• Build and maintain style kits that give the team and collaborators a clear, consistent visual language
• Brief and coordinate specialists: translate client requirements into actionable direction for production designers and give feedback that keeps output aligned with the creative vision
• Communicate proactively with clients: estimate effort and timelines accurately, respond to Slack within one business hour during working hours.
• Own projects end to end, from brief through final delivery
• Maintain asset hygiene: files clean, structured, and aligned with team fundamentals
• Manage project operations in Notion, keeping planning pages, task boards, and meeting notes current without being prompted
• Prioritize effectively, focusing on the right tasks in the right order at the right time
• Participate actively in team rituals: crits, elevate sessions, and growth activities

Highlights

Meaningful work: Partner directly with founders and executives at companies building serious products. Your designs ship to real users and move real businesses. Our clients come back after they exit. We develop deep relationship with them which means we're able to see the impact of our work overtime (unheard of in a traditional agency).

Exceptional team: Work alongside designers who are generous collaborators, not competitors. Everyone here is deeply skilled and genuinely invested in lifting the team up.

Remote: We're distributed (mostly across Canada) and flexible about where you work, as long as you cover PT and ET hours with stellar internet.

Offsites: We meet in person at least 2 times per year! These are good moments to get the team together, celebrate our accomplishments and align on a unified vision. Past locations: Montreal, Toronto, Barcelona, Greece, Miami,  Mont-Tremblant,  Tulum

Growth investment: We cover courses, workshops, and other learning you want to pursue. Just bring it to your manager. We also run weekly elevate sessions where the team sharpens design and thinking skills together.

Cross-disciplinary collaboration: Work with motion designers, illustrators, and other specialists. You'll expand your craft and find more opportunities for delight.

️ Clarity: You'll know what's expected of you, what you need to succeed in the role, and how to grow beyond it.

⛑️ Health insurance: All Canada based employees receive private health insurance.
