About Us
Rare Days is a multi-disciplinary digital product studio obsessed with helping creators and community-led organizations build lasting legacies. Since 2020, we’ve designed and built products at the intersection of content, community, and commerce — empowering creators and content-led businesses to turn their passion into sustainable platforms.
Our clients range from world-renowned creators like Esther Perel, Colin & Samir, and Sophia Amoruso to global companies like Airbnb and Notion looking to foster vibrant digital communities. We specialize in membership platforms, creator tools, and community-driven products — and our edge comes from knowing these audiences as well as we know product design. We use that insight to build high-performing, scalable experiences that help creators and communities grow with purpose.
We're a distributed team, based in Canada, and are open to candidates located within 4 hours of PST time zone. Preference will be given to Canadian applicants.
About the Role
We’re hiring a Lead Product Designer to take ownership of strategy, execution, and creative leadership on our most important product design work. This role is for someone who thrives in ambiguity, cares deeply about users, and wants to guide teams toward thoughtful, high-impact product outcomes.
As Lead Product Designer, you’ll shape the vision for digital products used by creators, communities, and content-led organizations — translating ideas into usable, scalable, and standout experiences. You’ll lead product discovery, manage day-to-day design progress, and mentor other designers across multiple projects. You’re a clear communicator, a strategic thinker, and someone who can lead a room — with or without the slides.
We're looking for an experienced product designer working in 0→1 environment. You’ll need strong product strategy skills, visual design chops, and the ability to move quickly across brand, UX, and UI work. You'll feel confident helping define, design, and launch new digital products from scratch. This role suits designers with a startup mindset and a love of crafting products from the ground up.

- Partner with clients and internal stakeholders to define product vision, priorities, and user goals
- Lead discovery activities such as workshops, stakeholder interviews, and competitive audits
- Translate business requirements and user needs into product direction and design strategy

- Create journey maps, flow diagrams, and service blueprints to align the team around experience architecture
Design Leadership & Execution
- Own the end-to-end design of digital products — from wireframes to final UI
- Lead and oversee design systems for individual products and repeatable platform features
- Collaborate closely with developers and producers to ensure high-quality implementation
- Present work at all stages — from low-fidelity exploration to high-fidelity polish — and guide clients through feedback and iteration
- Identify opportunities for product improvement, simplification, or user delight
Team & Practice Leadership
- Mentor mid-level and junior product designers (inside and outside of projects), helping them grow their skills and confidence
- Provide regular feedback and critique to raise the standard of product design across the studio
- Collaborate with leadership to refine how we work — from tooling and rituals to process and delivery
- Contribute to hiring, onboarding, and professional development as the product team expands
What We’re Looking For
- 8+ years of product design experience, ideally in an agency, studio, or startup environment
- Demonstrated ability to lead product design engagements from start to finish
- A portfolio that shows strong UX thinking, interaction design, and visual execution across responsive web and/or mobile
- Experience running discovery, facilitating workshops, and turning insights into action
- Skilled in creating and evolving scalabl
