Description
We are a big (and growing!) family. Overall we serve more than 670,000 people across Canada through Equitable Bank, Canada’s Challenger Bank™, and have been around for more than 50 years. Equitable Bank’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Concentra Bank, supports credit unions across Canada that serve more than six million members. Together we have over $125 billion in combined assets under management and administration, with a clear mandate to drive change in Canadian banking to enrich people’s lives. Our customers have named our EQ Bank digital platform (eqbank.ca) one of the top banks in Canada on the Forbes World’s Best Banks list since 2021.
Equitable Interview Process
As we continue to scale our team, candidates selected for our comprehensive interview process may be considered for a different level — either higher or lower — based on their interview performance. This equitable hiring approach allows us to ensure that talented individuals from a variety of industries are set up for long-term success within EQB’s dynamic, growing environment. Our goal is to support candidates in building lasting careers, rather than relying solely on perceived experience. The hiring committee will thoughtfully assess each candidate’s skills and potential, and adjust the level of the role as needed to create the best possible fit.”
About The Role
Senior Product Designers play a key role in owning Design decisions for our key product lines. As such, you will work closely with our Engineering and Product Management teams to translate business problems into user-centric, best in class digital experiences.
Why join EQB Product Design Team
This is a team that drives impact. We thrive in a startup environment with the stability of an enterprise organization, leading the definition, creation and execution of Design experiences for critical aspects of the platform. Our goal is to challenge the status quo and reimagine the banking experience for half a million Canadians. We do not rely on process, we influence it.
As an ideal candidate you:
- Are excited by good Design just as much as the business logic behind it
- Bring a strong point of view for Design, with the ability to clearly express the WHY and HOW of its contributions to overall business growth
- Can navigate ambiguity comfortably
- Are skilled at influencing work in its early stages, asking the right questions and proactively seeking answers when they are not immediately available
- Have a growth mindset
- Embrace giving and receiving feedback, continuously evolving your thinking and adopting more efficient ways of working
- Have strong opinions, loosely held
- Come to the table with a clear perspective, but leave space for healthy debates that lead to paths forward
- Love working on 0 to 1 projects
- Have worked on a few projects for launch and understand the grit that it takes to make it to the finish line
Your day-to-day
- You know the in’s and out’s of Figma and are able to share designs early and often to collaborate and solicit feedback
- You have a full-stacked Design toolkit to run essential Design activities (e.g. problem discovery, user testing, workshops)
- Own the end-to-end Design process from discovery to hand-off
- Use Design exploration and discovery to contribute to the EQ Bank Design System
- You are not shy to bring in cross-functional stakeholders and the Design team into the conversations whenever necessary
