Why is this role important?

At Loblaw Digital, we know that our customers expect the best from us. Whether that means building the best, most innovative online shopping experiences, or designing an app that will impact the lives of people across the country, we're up for the challenge. Loblaw Digital is the team responsible for building and operating the online businesses of Canada's largest and most successful retailer.

Based in downtown Toronto, we are an entrepreneurial, fast-paced, and collaborative team working towards transforming the way Canadians shop by creating leading eCommerce experiences in the online grocery shopping, beauty, pharmacy, loyalty, and apparel spaces, and we're only just getting started! To achieve these goals, we are looking for talented and passionate individuals who want to collaborate and solve challenging problems and make significant and lasting impact on Canadians.

As Senior Product Designer, you will be responsible for working with our product managers and development teams to design and build new features, and to enhance the core user experience within our apps and digital platforms. Reporting into the Director of Product Design, you'll create solutions that help users engage with Loblaw divisions, services, and programs, providing value, and bringing ease and enjoyment to our customers experiences. You'll be an expert at merging user insights, UX best practices, and Art Direction to produce accessible, effective, and user-centred designs. You'll contribute to, and help maintain, the collaborative culture of our design team-and help coach and mentor our new designers. You'll also support opportunities to improve inclusion, equity, and accessibility when it comes to both designs and the team environment. You'll facilitate important relationships with our stakeholders and related creative teams, while collaborating with them to help our digital experiences grow. You will work in a collaborative environment with a fantastic culture, working with team members across the organization to contribute to the overall success of Loblaw Digital, and our customers.

What you'll do

Problem Discovery, Definition & Goal Setting: You'll collaborate with your team to ensure that problems, initiatives, and outcomes are well-defined and documented based on objective data. You'll facilitate and lead discovery sessions and workshops that align your team around clearly defined problem statements and goals. You'll work with the Product and Engineering managers to help scope and plan work timelines and successful release schedules for our features.
Interaction Design:You know when and why to apply interaction design processes to achieve the right outcomes with your team. Your focus will be in the interplay between words, visuals, space, time, and behaviours of digital user interfaces. Your work product will include journey maps, service blueprints, information architecture, user flows, and wireframes.
Art Direction & Visual Design:You'll design the high-fidelity interfaces that we build. You understand how to convey visual personality, tone, look and feel, and the flourish that is appropriate to your product.
Design Systems Thinking:You'll ensure that design solutions utilize and further the team's design system, and leverage or iterate on existing patterns whenever possible. You'll identify undefined or inconsistent patterns and propose scalable solutions. You'll encourage and facilitate the shared naming of elements across design and development on the team.
Design Research, Validation & Iteration: You'll contribute to and lead user and market research activities, and synthesize their results. You'll leverage a range of mixed methods tools from generative to evaluative, experimentation, and in-market performance to improve your work. You'll track the performance of your work post-launch and continue to optimize based on data.
Inclusive Design:You'll ensure that our digital products can be experienced by everyone, reflecting the diversity of the communities we serve. You have an applied understanding of AODA design requirements and can apply knowledge of inclusive design 'grey areas' that may not be legal requirements, but improve our digital products for everyone.

Does this sound like you?

The Team Champion:You build trust with your team, partners, and stakeholders by leading with curiosity and empathy, treating them as equals, and setting and achieving shared outcomes. You are energized by sharing the value of our practice with our teams, teaching our ways of working, and elevating our team's profile within the UX community.
The Candid Collaborator:You provide clear and direct feedback regularly, which benefits your partners and team members. You're comfortable with being uncomfortable, and approach difficult situations with optimism. You care personally, challenge directly, and communicate with candor and courage.
The Critical Thinker:You ask questions to clarify ambiguous problems, and listen actively in order to understand opportunities to improve experiences and processes. You are resilient to change, invigorated by growth, and are constantly learning and challenging the norms around you.

Your qualifications should include:

A portfolio with recent case studies that demonstrate...
Beautiful, accessible, scalable digital experiences that you have shipped.
Your experience working in a cross-functional team in an agile environment working closely with Product, Tech and Design peers.
Your approaches to problem framing and designing solutions while balancing stakeholder needs and technical constraints.
Your ability to use design as a tool to uncover what questions to ask, what solutions to explore, and how to define and measure success.
The key performance indicators you used to measure the effectiveness of your solutions.
How you have contributed to the design practice and/or team culture at an organization.
