About Koho

Koho is a high profile FinTech company backed by some of the leading investors and advisors across Canada and Silicon Valley. More than 10,000 Canadians have signed up to join Koho and we’re just getting started.

We’re building Koho because we think there is a real opportunity to democratize the best financial tools for all Canadians, without profiting from fees, complexity and confusion. 

We’re starting with the Koho Visa* Prepaid Card and mobile app that allows users to manage daily financial needs (direct paycheque load, bill pay, ATM cash withdrawals, etc.), while offering tools such as automated savings goals, real-time updates, transfers, spending insights, categorizations and much more. You can see what people are saying about us here & what we’re working on here.

About the Role

We're building a world-class financial product and we need forward-thinking UX Lead to join our Product & Design team in Toronto. You love to tinker with a variety of design concepts to improve and expand user experiences based on customer research. You have a passion for good design and innovation, and you obsess over the slightest details in order to deliver high-quality work. Just like everyone else at Koho, you’ll use the product you’re building, surrounded by a world-class team of entrepreneurs, engineers and designers.

Requirements

  • Leverage market research, user testing, and UX best practices to create user-centered solutions; 
  • Collaborate with our VP of Product to define high level requirements for product development;
  • Work closely with our engineering, product, and design team to execute on design goals and iterate on feedback from our users; 
  • Conduct research and brainstorm sessions to develop user flows and compelling user experiences; 
  • Propose new feature and improvement opportunities, and prioritize on effective and actionable designs; 
  • Validate designs through usability testing; 
  • Keep up to date with UX best practices, trends, and developments.
