Full Job Posting
About The Role
- As a Principal Product Designer on Questbank, you lead design across our consumer banking platform: everyday banking, lending, onboarding, money movement.
- Questbank is part of an integrated platform that spans investing, financing, and banking.
- This is a senior IC role with org wide influence. You'll partner directly with Product and Engineering leaders to shape what we build, how we build it, and what quality looks like.
- Design here is AI first. Work starts in Claude and Cursor to map logic and explore directions, moves into Figma for systems and craft, and gets tested with real users.
What You'll Do
- Lead design on the hardest problems: Own the challenges that don't fit neatly into one squad. Cross cutting flows, platform level patterns, and high stakes product decisions.
- Drive design vision across the platform: Work across banking, investing, and financing teams to ensure Questbank delivers a coherent, integrated platform experience.
- Start in AI, finish in Figma: Use Claude and Cursor to map product logic, surface edge cases, and explore directions. Bring validated concepts into Figma for state coverage, system alignment, and production readiness.
- Partner with Product and Engineering leaders: Influence roadmap decisions, scope tradeoffs, and product strategy. Provide design expertise at the org level.
- Elevate the design practice: Raise the bar for quality, process, and craft across the team. Mentor designers through the work: crits, reviews, and direct collaboration.
- Validate with evidence: Drive research and use data to inform direction. Synthesize findings into clear design rationale that aligns teams and moves decisions forward.
What You Need
- 8+ years of product design experience with increasing scope and influence.
- Strong product thinker. You understand how design drives customer and business outcomes, not just UI.
- Exceptional visual craft and high standards for interaction design, usability, and overall product quality.
- Deep experience working cross functionally with Product and Engineering leaders. You're a peer at the table, not a service function.
- Systems minded. You think about scale, consistency, and long term leverage.
- Strong understanding of how product needs evolve across stages of growth (0→1, 1→10, 10→100).
- Active use of AI tools like Claude, Cursor, or Figma Make in your design workflow.
- Ability to lead the most ambiguous, complex problems and bring structure, direction, and momentum.
- Strong communicator who can influence decisions, align teams, and articulate the 'why' behind design direction.
- A portfolio that demonstrates industry leading craft, systems thinking, and impact at scale.
- Domain experience in lending, banking, or fintech is a strong asset, but as important is your ability to ramp fast and think like an owner.
Compensation Information
- Base salary range: CAD 160,000 CAD 180,000.
- The final package will be commensurate with experience, skills, and geographic location (Canada).
- Includes a comprehensive benefits plan and a competitive incentive (bonus) program.
Additional Information
- This role requires three days of in office presence per week for Greater Toronto Area (GTA) residents. For candidates residing outside the GTA, a remote workplace arrangement is available.
