Product Designer

Are you a creative thinker passionate about crafting user experiences that don’t just work, but transform how people interact with technology? We are looking for an experienced Product Designer to join our close-knit team.

If you're a self-motivated and curious person with an eye for visual interaction and a strong understanding of user-centred design principles, we'd love to hear from you. This is an exciting opportunity to showcase your expertise in UX design by leading the design of our digital products and platforms. You’ll join a collaborative and ambitious team with the autonomy to shape our digital future, contribute to key product decisions, and grow into a leadership role.

About us

We are Canvas8, a strategic insights practice operating out of London, NY, LA, & Singapore. We help our clients understand people so they can make better business decisions.

Our work is about investigating the hidden insights in everyday life – from the psychology of boredom to teenage make-up rituals to why Barbiecore is a Gen Y thing – and making them meaningful for brands. Our team is a blend of different disciplines and skills – from psychology to journalism, and anthropology to behavioural economics. What unites them is a desire to understand people and a passion for delivering outstanding work.

About the role

As our Product Designer, you’ll own the end-to-end design process across key products and tools that power Canvas8’s global insights platform. Reporting directly to the Strategy Director and working closely with developers and stakeholders, you'll lead design initiatives that deliver measurable user value, drive engagement, and shape the evolution of our digital ecosystem.

This is a high-impact role with the autonomy to champion user-centred design and define the visual and functional standards across our suite of tools and platforms.

Day-to-day

• Lead end-to-end design projects, managing scope, timelines, and delivering measurable success
• Conduct tactical user research and analyse data to inform design decisions and contribute to product strategy
• Design user flows, information architecture, wireframes, prototypes, and high-fidelity UI while ensuring brand consistency and maintaining scalable design systems
• Collaborate closely with product managers, developers, and stakeholders to understand requirements, scope feasibility, and align design with overall goals
• Manage development tasks by writing pull requests, managing tickets, and supporting smooth implementation
• Facilitate workshops and influence cross-team decisions, acting as a key point of contact and proactively sharing business-critical insights
• Continuously review and improve design processes and workflows, tracking the impact of design changes
• Serve as a role model by fostering open communication and driving initiatives to elevate team morale and collaboration

About you

You're a self-motivated, collaborative, and curious individual who is passionate about creating beautiful and intuitive user experiences. You’ll have experience designing digital products and pages that are visually stunning and easy to use, have a deep understanding of user-centred design principles and methodologies, and be able to translate user needs into compelling design solutions.

Driven by a natural problem-solving mindset, you consistently champion the user’s perspective; embracing an iterative design process to continuously improve the user experience. You’ll enjoy collaboration and be comfortable translating technical requirements and user needs into design solutions.

Thriving in fast-paced, agile environments, you bring strong communication and collaboration skills to the table. Your ability to work effectively within cross-functional teams is matched by a keen eye for visual interaction details and a consistent delivery of high-quality designs under tight deadlines.

Along with your design skills, you'll also possess excellent presentation skills, which will enable you to effectively communicate your design concepts to stakeholders and collaborate with cross-functional teams.
