Product Designer (19-month Contract)

Who we are:

Financeit is a point-of-sale financing provider serving some of the largest home improvement and retail organizations in Canada.

Our platform helps businesses close more sales by offering customers affordable monthly payment options for their next big home improvement, vehicle or retail purchase.

We are small enough that you can make an impact within the company and large enough to make an impact in the market.

Financeit is a company where collaboration, inclusivity, fairness, and respect aren’t just ideas that get talked about, but are part of who we are. If such a workplace intrigues you, we hope you’ll join us.

About the role:

We’re looking for a Product Designer to join our Technology team. As a Product Designer, you are talented and driven with a passion for making gorgeous, ground-breaking work. You create simple, compelling, and meaningful experiences that enable a wide variety of users to achieve their goals. You’re a creative problem solver and communicator, delivering concepts from initial sketches through to testing and evaluating final implementations.

What you'll do:

You’re ready to make hands-on contributions at every stage of the project lifecycle, brainstorming concepts with the project team and developing creative solutions and user flows, while ensuring deadlines are met. You should be curious about user behaviour and seek to apply quantitative and qualitative data from our research team to iterate and improve our product features.

Financeit is a seriously collaborative work environment, so we’re not only looking for a design-obsessive who cultivates excellence in their work, we also need a Product Designer who collaborates across disciplines daily. You’re able to collaborate with business stakeholders to translate product requirements into beautiful, usable UI. At the same time, you can work with developers and ensure your solution is technically feasible. You should be comfortable accepting input and feedback from these different groups, and occasionally making pragmatic compromises to deliver high quality products on time.

As focused as we are on creating unique, category-defining products, we are also building a distinct and inclusive culture. We have won awards for our culture—we want more.
