Job Description
Our Journey at Keep

You’ll lead the design vision and execution for our suite of financial services, ensuring our products are user-centric, visually compelling, and seamlessly integrated into our customers' workflows. Your role will involve improving the overall user experience while collaborating closely with cross-functional teams to ensure alignment between design, product, and engineering.
Who We're Looking For
=========================
- 5+ years of experience in design and product management, with a portfolio showcasing your design process and outcomes.
- Proficiency in design tools sulikeketch, Figma, or Adobe Creative Suite.
- Strong understanding of user-centered design principles and methodologies.
- Experience conducting user research, usability testing, and user feedback analysis.
- Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams.
- Passion for design and desire to create delightful user experiences.

Key Responsibilities

- Facilitate Cross-Team Collaboration: Implement effective handoffs between Product, Design, and Engineering for smooth execution.
- Lead UX Research: Conduct research and gather customer feedback to inform and guide design decisions.

Why You Should be Excited About This Role
=============================================
- Play a pivotal role in shaping the future of Canadian fintech by driving key financial strategies and initiatives that fuel our growth.
- Lead a high-impact function with visibility across the organization, working closely with senior leadership to influence strategic direction.
- Collaborate with diverse teams across the company, gaining a comprehensive view of our operations and contributing to the success of cross-functional initiatives.
- Be part of a dynamic, innovative environment that values continuous improvement and where your contributions will directly impact the way businesses utilize cross-border banking solutions.
- Join a passionate team that fosters a culture of innovation, collaboration, and professional growth, allowing you to continuously evolve and take on new challenges.
Why Join Keep?
==================
- We're obsessed with investing in data-driven solutions and cutting-edge technologies.
- Be a part of a team that's rewriting the playbook for the Canadian fintech industry.

- Embrace a fully inclusive and remote-friendly company culture that values diversity and work-life balance.
- Help us bring modern banking solutions to businesses, reshaping the banking experience for our customers.
Why This Might Not Be a Good Fit
====================================
- If you're a stickler for a highly structured environment with constant hand-holding, you might find our culture of autonomy and trust a bit different.
- If you're more of a slow-and-steady-wins-the-race kind of person, our fast-paced, dynamic environment might be a bit of a rollercoaster.
- Given the nature of our industry and our rapid growth, ambiguity and uncertainty are all part of the ride. If you prefer clear-cut structures or roles, you might find our dynamic environment a bit too adventurous.
- Collaboration is the heartbeat of Keep, and if you prefer to work in your own little bubble without engaging with the wider team, you might find our approach to teamwork a tad unconventional.

======================================
