Principal Product Designer

Burlington, ON
remote
Temporary
98.8 - 114.4 CAD / Hourly
We are looking for a Principal Product Designer to join our team in Burlington, Ontario on a Long-term Contract basis. This position is suited to a highly experienced designer who sets a strong example through judgement, craft, and influence rather than formal people management. You will help shape how design is understood across the organization by guiding complex product work, strengthening team capability, and championing a thoughtful approach to AI-enabled design practice. Responsibilities: • Set and uphold a high standard for design quality across projects, ensuring each engagement reflects a consistent level of excellence. • Provide senior-level direction on product and experience design decisions, offering clear recommendations on approach, priorities, and execution. • Establish credibility with cross-functional partners by bringing confident design leadership into product and engineering discussions. • Contribute to early-stage problem definition, future-state thinking, and broader strategic design initiatives beyond individual product deliverables. • Advance the team’s use of AI in design by exploring practical applications and shaping how these tools influence design thinking and delivery. • Strengthen the capabilities of other designers through detailed critiques, collaborative working sessions, and constructive feedback. • Create and maintain strong examples, case studies, and knowledge-sharing materials that demonstrate the business impact of design work.

Senior Product Designer

Burlington, ON
remote
Temporary
80 - 90 CAD / Hourly
We are looking for a Senior Product Designer to join a Long-term Contract opportunity based in Ontario. In this role, you will guide design work across several product streams, turning complex challenges into intuitive, refined experiences that support both user needs and business goals. You will collaborate closely with product and engineering partners, apply strong UX and UI expertise, and use AI-enabled tools to speed up exploration and insight gathering while relying on sound design judgement to shape final outcomes. This is a 6 month contract to start located in Toronto, Ontario. Responsibilities:• Own design end to end across multiple concurrent initiatives — from upstream problem framing and research through to high-fidelity UI, delivery and handoff • Shape briefs, not just respond to them — identifying what the real problem is before the team has named it, and influencing direction before decisions are locked • Build trust quickly with product and engineering partners — demonstrating through the quality and pace of your work that good design makes outcomes better • The bar is rising, but quality is still the differentiator. You’ll use AI as a core part of how you design — prototyping faster, synthesizing research at scale, exploring more directions in less time — while leading with design judgement that AI can't replace • Produce interfaces that are visually considered, interaction-sound, accessible and aligned to design system standards — you know that UI is where the experience becomes real for users • Contribute to the team's case study output — documenting what worked, what didn't, and what it proved about design's value • Raise the capability of the team around you through pairing, critique and direct feedback — you are a multiplier, not just a contributor
