Staff Product Designer - AI Products

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Staff Product Designer - AI Products based in Canada . The Staff Product Designer will lead the end-to-end design of innovative AI-powered products, shaping experiences that redefine how people interact with financial services and intelligent technology. This is a hands-on, 0-to-1 opportunity to transform early concepts into polished products for both external customers and internal teams. You will take ownership of the entire design process, from discovery and research to prototyping, delivery, and launch. Working directly with product, engineering, and leadership, you will influence product strategy and help establish the direction of new AI experiences. The role requires creativity, strong product judgment, and comfort navigating ambiguity and rapidly evolving technologies. You will join a small, fast-moving team that values exceptional design craft, thoughtful execution, and meaningful customer impact. Accountabilities: - Own the complete product design lifecycle, from discovery, research, and concept development through prototyping, delivery, and launch. - Lead the design of new AI-powered products for external B2C customers, as well as internal AI tools that improve and transform organizational workflows. - Take products from zero to one, translating early ideas, complex challenges, and loosely defined problem spaces into useful, intuitive experiences. - Define product and design direction in ambiguous environments, making informed decisions and adapting as requirements and technologies evolve. - Design for non-deterministic AI experiences, considering how users interact with, interpret, understand, and build trust in systems whose outputs may vary. - Create visually compelling, forward-thinking interfaces and interactions that establish high standards for AI product experiences.

- Partner closely with product managers, engineers, and leadership to shape product strategy, influence roadmaps, and guide cross-functional decisions. - Build rapid prototypes to communicate concepts, explore interactions, validate assumptions, and gather feedback before moving into implementation. - Conduct user research and translate customer insights, behavioral data, and experimentation results into design decisions. - Continuously evaluate and improve products after launch, using feedback and performance insights to refine the user experience. - Maintain a consistently high standard of usability, visual quality, design craft, and coherence across all product experiences. - Apply systems thinking to create scalable, consistent design solutions that can evolve as products and user needs grow. Requirements: - At least 7 years of professional experience in product design, supported by a portfolio demonstrating exceptional design craft and measurable impact. - Proven experience leading products from initial concept through launch, ideally as the lead or sole designer with end-to-end ownership of the design process. - Excellent product thinking and the ability to navigate ambiguity, identify direction when requirements are unclear, and make sound decisions with incomplete information. - Experience designing AI-powered, generative, probabilistic, or other non-deterministic product experiences is highly desirable. - Strong UX and visual design capabilities, with a track record of solving complex, open-ended problems through clear and elegant solutions. - Advanced prototyping skills and the ability to communicate complex concepts, workflows, and interactions quickly and effectively. - Experience influencing product strategy and contributing to cross-functional decision-making beyond design execution. - Strong systems-thinking skills, including the ability to build coherent, scalable product experiences from the ground up.
