More:

We are Vita, a Canadian SaaS product company building an education operations and student intelligence platform. School divisions use our product for registration, digital forms, workflows, approvals, student information, and staff operations. We are expanding from K–12 into post-secondary and the private sector, and we build and own the product ourselves rather than working as an agency or consultancy. We are hiring a Product UX Designer to shape practical software experiences—not marketing websites—and help determine how our product works, from early concepts through production. AI is part of our product development process; we value designers who use tools such as Claude or other tools to explore concepts, refine flows, prototype, and test UX approaches, without requiring developer skills or a particular tool. This role is likely not suited to someone whose experience is primarily in marketing or corporate websites, landing pages, branding, graphic design, or e-commerce without substantial application UX. We offer the opportunity to influence a growing SaaS product used by schools across Canada, a team that uses modern AI tools, health and dental coverage, vision care, RRSP matching, paid time off, vacation, company events, and professional development. Pay is $47,900–$110,000 per year. Work location: in person.
