Hi, I'm Ricky Knight, Product Design Manager for the Booking Group. I joined Jane about 18 months ago, and since then I've had the chance to work with a team that touches nearly everything that happens before and around an appointment. We help patients find care, book care, and stay connected to that care, while also giving clinics tools that help them grow. It's work that sits right at the heart of Jane's mission to help the helpers.
I care deeply about creating psychological safety as an unlock for high performance, and I try to bring that mindset into every conversation and project. I believe that without trust and safety, high performance isn't possible; it's one of the core reasons I joined Jane in the first place. When we trust and support each other, the sky is the limit on what we can do.
Outside of design, you'll find me hanging out with my tiny poodle Poppy, playing video games (I built my own PC for this), or diving into one of my 30+ board games with the family. I'm also a bit of a foodie who loves exploring new restaurants in Vancouver.
We're hiring a Design Manager to join our Communications team. This is a hybrid player–coach role where you'll spend roughly 60% on hands-on product design and 40% on people leadership. You'll manage a small group of designers to start, partner closely with the sub-group PM and Development Manager, and work alongside Staff and Design Management to drive quality and cohesion across patient and practitioner touchpoints within Communications (Secure Messaging, SMS and more). This is a meaningful opportunity to shape the future of how our helpers communicate with their patients and grow leadership capacity within Booking Design

At Jane, we’re committed to paying fairly, clearly, and above all, paying for growth. This role has an annual salary range of $144,000 to $225,000 While that is a large range, it is intentional. It reflects the full growth journey someone might take in the role, from developing skills early on to becoming highly proficient and ultimately achieving excellence.
Most new hires join at the accomplished stage, which for this role represents an annual salary of $171,000. A starting salary below this typically indicates a candidate with strong potential who is still developing key skills. Salaries above this usually apply to existing team members who have made a significant impact and bring deep Jane-specific knowledge.
We believe in paying for growth. You’ll have regular career development conversations with your manager, and your compensation will grow as you gain experience and contribute meaningfully to our mission.
