What you’ll be Doing
Strategic Leadership: Partner directly with Founders, VPs, and Product Directors to define and drive the long-term design vision and product strategy for a specific pillar.
Hands-On Craft: Lead by example, diving into the work to illustrate complex design solutions. You will create process flows, wireframes, prototypes, and high-fidelity mockups that set the standard for quality.
Team Building & Mentorship: Build, lead, and mentor a team of 2-3 high-potential designers. You will be responsible for elevating their craft, guiding their career growth, and fostering a culture of design excellence.
Cross-Functional Influence: Champion the value of design across the organization. You will work seamlessly with Engineering, Product, and Data leads to ensure design is a strategic driver, not just a service.
System & Scale: evolve our design system to support rapid scaling while maintaining consistency and quality across a growing product suite.
Design Operations: Help establish and refine our design processes, from discovery to delivery, ensuring the team operates with speed and precision.
Who we are Looking for
Startup DNA: You have significant experience (8+ years) in product design, with a proven track record of leading design in an early-stage, high-growth startup environment. You understand the pace, the pivots, and the "founder mindset."
Player-Coach: You are a seasoned leader who still loves to design. You can seamlessly switch between strategic planning and pushing pixels in Figma.
Executive Presence: You are comfortable presenting to and debating with C-level executives. You can articulate the business value of design decisions and influence org-level strategy.
Proven Builder: You have experience not just designing products, but building teams. You have hired, mentored, and managed designers, helping them reach their full potential.
Master of Craft: Your portfolio demonstrates industry-leading quality in UX and UI. You have deep expertise in systems thinking, information architecture, and prototyping complex workflows.
Iterative Mindset: You know how to balance the pursuit of perfection with the need for speed. You can deliver high-quality work iteratively (v1, v2, v3), navigating the "Now, Next, Later" with ease.
Tool Proficiency: Expert-level fluency in Figma and modern design tools.

We primarily collaborate in person across our Calgary, Winnipeg, and Toronto offices, where ideas move quickly and teams build momentum together.

At Neo, ownership is part of how we think and operate. For select roles, equity participation reinforces that mindset by giving employees a direct stake in the company’s long-term success. Regardless of role, every team member is expected to think like an owner and make decisions that move the business forward.
