Why join Product Design @ EQ Bank?

This is a team that drives impact. We thrive in a startup environment with the stability of an enterprise organization, leading the definition, creation and execution of Design experiences for critical aspects of the platform.

Our goal is to challenge the status quo and reimagine the banking experience for half a million Canadians. We do not rely on process, we influence it.

• Can navigate ambiguity comfortably
• Are skilled at influencing work in its early stages, asking the right questions and proactively seeking answers when they are not immediately available
• Have a growth mindset
• Embrace giving and receiving feedback, continuously evolving your thinking and adopting more efficient ways of working
• Have strong opinions, loosely held
• Come to the table with a clear perspective, but leave space for healthy debates that lead to paths forward
• Love working on 0 to 1 projects
• Have worked on a few projects for launch and understand the grit that it takes to make it to the finish line
