We are all solving the same set of problems from our own unique lenses, and this is fundamental to our success as a business.

Experience means something different to each of us and your unique combination of skills, passions and experiences makes you a valuable asset to our team.

If the role below is of interest to you, please consider applying!

Opencare's Mission: To reinvent how dentists run their practices, so they can focus on what matters most: providing exceptional patient care.

Running a dental practice is becoming more and more complicated every year. At Opencare, we believe that dentists shouldn't have to worry about managing their practice, which frees them up to prioritize world-class patient care experiences.

Through the Opencare marketplace, we are enabling dentists to connect with new patients, streamline their day-to-day operations, and manage their billing seamlessly. All of this frees up time and energy that can be dedicated to helping patients understand and improve their oral wellness.

Our Team Vision: In order for Opencare to truly impact a change in people’s perceptions around dentistry, we need to attract patients to our platform, and effectively communicate the “why” behind this vision.

How will you help us get there: As our Lead Designer, reporting into our CMO, you will work cross-functionally with our teams to lead and deliver thoughtful and consistent designs across both Product and Marketing. This is a strategic, high-impact role that blends both creativity and leadership.

Your Primary Role will be to:

1. Strategic Design Leadership: Collaborate with product and marketing teams to oversee the creation of compelling, on-brand product designs and marketing collateral, maintaining consistency across all touchpoints while supporting product development from concept through launch.
2. Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with product managers and growth marketers to develop intuitive user experiences and compelling visuals that drive engagement and conversions across Product and Marketing channels.
3. Design System Development: Establish and refine scalable design systems, processes, and standards to maintain consistency and support the company's growth.
4. Team Management and Mentorship: Lead, mentor, and manage a team of designers, fostering a collaborative and innovative environment that encourages professional development and high-quality output.
5. User-Centered Advocacy: Champion user-centered design principles and data-driven decision-making, integrating user feedback and analytics into the design process to enhance user satisfaction and business performance.
6. Design Consistency and Quality: Oversee the execution of design initiatives, ensuring visual consistency, usability, and alignment with brand identity across all product and marketing materials.

Some key attributes of a successful candidate:

• 5+ years of design experience across product and marketing with a minimum of 2 years in a leadership capacity.
• Proven ability to lead projects from discovery to execution while providing mentorship and guidance to other designers.
• A strong portfolio showcasing end-to-end product design and creative marketing work.
• Proven ability to work across multiple channels and formats while maintaining visual consistency.
• Deep understanding of UI / UX principles, responsive design, and accessibility standards.
• Strong communication and presentation skills—you can articulate design decisions clearly and persuasively and capable of acting as a strategic thought partner.
• Experience maintaining or evolving design systems and design operations.

We do not discriminate based on race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, or any other characteristic protected by law.
