Senior UX/UI Designer for Product Team in Montreal, with remote options

e180 was founded as a social enterprise , and today, e180 is a certified (and award-winning!) B Corporation. This means that we’ve made a public commitment to leveraging our business to make a measurable difference in the world. Our flagship product, Braindate, has evolved over the years, but our mission remains the same: We turn the world’s gatherings into knowledge-sharing feasts.

The product team designs web apps that enable and enhance self-directed and collaborative learning. While we believe technology can be magic, we don’t believe apps solve problems in and of themselves. We empathize with our users, clients, and e180 teams, in order to design and develop solutions that bring value to them. We work iteratively and course correct when needed to achieve desired outcomes, focusing on key problems to solve. We care deeply about our mission and impact, and, in the decisions we make, do our best to balance short vs long-term priorities, quality, speed, scalability… passion, and reason.

Your role:

As a member of the product team, you are involved in all phases of product development, focusing on specific mandates of the product team. Before delving into the creative process, you make sure you have a solid understanding of the vision, objectives and desired outcomes. You leverage research and adopt processes that help the team create product-ready designs, anchored in e180’s mission, that address user needs and naturally integrate into their contexts. You create opportunities to conduct user research and testing, seek expertise across e180 and propose approaches that contribute to the team’s success and work environment.

• Contribute to finding tools, standards, and processes that contribute to the designers, and Product team’s, performance and engagement.

• Gather feedback from testing your design before going into development and share meaningful findings with the team.
• Continually update their knowledge about product design trends and UX best practices.
