About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Conduct regular generative and evaluative research with internal operations users — including contextual inquiry, task analysis, and usability testing
Build a deep understanding of HealthSource workflows: how requests move through the system, where errors occur, and what slows teams down
Synthesize qualitative and quantitative signals (support ticket patterns, usage data, direct interviews) into clear problem definitions
Maintain and evolve a living view of the user, their mental models, and the operational context they work in
Own end-to-end design for HealthSource features — from early concepts through to polished, spec-ready deliverables
Create detailed interaction designs, flows, and prototypes that handle edge cases and error states, not just the happy path
Contribute to and enforce consistency within Datavant's design system, identifying components to standardize across products
Design for efficiency at volume — our ops users process hundreds of requests per day, so every friction point compounds
Balance short-term iterative improvements with longer-term systemic redesign opportunities
Partner closely with the HealthSource PM and engineering team throughout the product development cycle
Work directly with operations managers and specialists to validate designs early and often
Communicate design rationale clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders
Contribute to product strategy conversations — you'll be expected to have a perspective on what problems are worth solving and why
Coordinate with the broader design team on shared patterns, principles, and critique

Requirements

What you’ll need

5+ years of UX design experience, with a portfolio demonstrating strong craft across research, interaction design, and systems thinking
Demonstrated experience designing for internal tools, ops platforms, or workflow-heavy products — not just consumer experiences
Fluency in the full research toolkit: when to use what method, how to synthesize findings, and how to bring stakeholders along
Strong interaction design skills — you think carefully about state, error handling, progressive disclosure, and keyboard/accessibility patterns
Experience contributing to or working within a design system
Comfort operating with ambiguity — this role requires you to define problems, not just execute solutions handed to you
Strong written communication; you can write a clear design brief, decision rationale, or research readout without hand-holding.
