Job description

Key Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end design for assigned product verticals - from discovery through pixel-perfect delivery - including workflow design, information architecture, and interface design for data-dense, human-in-the-loop clinical workflows.
• Support and contribute to design systems, patterns, and scalable design standards.
• Present design recommendations and rationale to stakeholders, incorporating feedback and building alignment across teams.
• Build interactive, high-fidelity prototypes to demonstrate complex interactions and validate user flows.
• Contribute to evolving how AI-assisted tools are incorporated into the design process as internal tooling access expands.
• Plan and execute qualitative user research, usability testing, and feedback sessions with users and stakeholders to validate design decisions and iterate rapidly.

Accessibility & Health Literacy

Champion WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility standards and plain-language design principles, ensuring interfaces are inclusive across varying levels of digital and health literacy.

Healthcare & Compliance Focus

Design with deep sensitivity to privacy, patient trust, and regulatory requirements.

Required Qualifications

• 5+ years of hands-on product design experience (UI/UX) delivering digital products, web applications, or complex enterprise platforms from concept to launch, with a strong portfolio of complex interfaces demonstrating visual hierarchy and clean execution for data-dense applications.
• Bachelor's degree in Human-Computer Interaction, Design, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• Expert-level Figma skills (auto-layout, tokens, component variables, interactive prototyping).
• Ability to balance strategic thinking with hands-on execution — bringing informed perspective and problem-solving to your product area while operating within established design system and standards.
• Proven ability to manage competing priorities, navigate ambiguous requirements, and maintain high design quality and output in a fast-paced, iterative environment.
• Outstanding communication skills: able to articulate design decisions, present to cross-functional stakeholders, and discuss technical constraints and tradeoffs directly with engineers.
• Demonstrated success using design to improve business and customer outcomes, such as patient satisfaction, engagement, retention, or operational efficiency.
• AI Fluency: Understanding of how AI-driven features behave in-product (latency handling, confidence scoring, human-in-the-loop workflows) and genuine interest in AI-assisted design tools.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience designing within clinical, healthcare, or health-tech environments, or in other regulated/high-stakes domains.
• Experience designing interfaces for complex data pipelines, dynamic real-time data, or decision-support tools.
