Product Designer

About Pathpal and the Role

Pathpal is a pioneering health technology platform designed to enable proactive health management, allowing users to detect issues early and maintain wellness rather than reacting to crises. We are looking for a passionate Product Designer to join our team on a part-time basis (three days per week) at our Oakville, Ontario location or hybrid within Ontario. Reporting to the Chief Product Officer, you will play a vital role in crafting intuitive product experiences and supporting our product marketing efforts, contributing to a platform focused on caring for users before health emergencies arise.

Key Responsibilities

• Create thoughtful and user-friendly designs throughout the product lifecycle, from initial concepts to final features.
• Collaborate closely with product management, engineering teams, and the CPO to transform ambiguous challenges into clear, elegant design solutions.
• Assist with product marketing tasks including campaign visuals, landing pages, and launch materials that effectively communicate our story.
• Maintain and refine our design system to ensure consistency and cohesiveness across the entire product.
• Apply a user-centric perspective to all design decisions, continually assessing if the work helps individuals maintain their health proactively.
• Act as a confident and articulate advocate for design within a small team where your input drives significant influence.

Qualifications and Skills

• At least three years of experience in product design, preferably with some background or crossover in product marketing or branding.
• A diverse and impressive portfolio that demonstrates strong systems thinking and visual design expertise.
• Ability to work independently and manage priorities asynchronously as a part-time contributor.
• An interest or curiosity about health, wellness, or preventive care is beneficial but not mandatory.
• Capacity to deliver high-quality work rapidly in a startup environment.
• Excellent communication skills, enabling clear explanation of the reasoning behind your design choices.

Why Join Pathpal?

• Culture of openness: all strategy, roadmaps, and conversations are shared transparently with the team.
• Agile, builder mindset with minimal bureaucracy and quick decision-making.
• Immediate ownership and impact: your ideas weigh in from day one without a waiting period.
• Real flexibility: part-time status means full value and genuine responsibility for your product segment.
• Meaningful mission: your work directly contributes to helping people catch health concerns early and prevents crises.

Application Process

Instead of a cover letter, please submit a "Care Before Crisis" one-page brief (via Figma, PDF, or presentation) that includes:

• A redesign of a small moment from a regularly used product or app that promotes proactive/preventative care instead of reactive.
• A single sentence describing a piece of work you are most proud of and why.
• One surprising fact, fun opinion, or unusual talent unrelated to design.

Send this to support@mypathpal.com with the subject line "Product Designer." The hiring process consists of three steps: an introductory chat with People/Talent team, a 1:1 meeting with a product team member, and a final conversation with a co-founder addressing vision and values.

Equal Opportunity Statement

Pathpal fosters an inclusive workplace that welcomes applicants of all backgrounds, identities, and experiences to build healthcare solutions that are inclusive for everyone.
