Original job description
About the Company
A well-established B2B SaaS company builds financial software for schools and school districts across North America. Its platform handles how schools collect, track and report on money. That means complex, high-stakes workflows where clarity matters.
The company is growing its product design function. It recently added senior designers to its core product teams and is investing in a shared design system that is still taking shape.
The Role
This is a 6-month contract for a Senior Product Designer, with potential to convert to full-time. You won’t be tied to one product. You’ll move between teams and pick up the design work that needs a senior pair of hands, starting with the fundraising product. This suits a designer with sharp UI craft who can get up to speed in a new problem space quickly. The role is hybrid, 3 days a week in a Toronto office.
What You Will Do
- Join different product teams as priorities shift, and take design work from early concept through to polished, build-ready screens.
- Turn complicated financial and administrative tasks into clean flows, wireframes and high-fidelity prototypes for web and mobile.
- Work with the design system designer to choose the right components, adapt existing ones, and propose new ones where gaps exist.
- Test concepts with internal subject-matter experts who have worked in school finance, and use what you learn to refine the design.
- Hand off detailed specs to engineering and stay involved through implementation and post-launch iteration.
What You Bring
- 5+ years in product design, ideally on B2B SaaS products with layered, multi-step workflows.
- A portfolio that shows strong visual and interaction design, with real attention to detail and accessibility.
- Advanced Figma skills, plus experience working within a component library or a design system that’s still being built.
- Hands-on experience running usability tests and user interviews, and turning the findings into design decisions.
- Bonus: experience with fundraising or donation products, familiarity with front-end concepts like React or design tokens, or regular use of AI-assisted design and prototyping tools.
Why This Role
You’ll get variety without the usual contractor isolation. You’ll work across several product teams with a design group that’s actively hiring senior talent and building its system from the ground up. The work affects how schools manage their money every day, and there’s a real path to a permanent role.
