About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Shape the direction of our products, grounded in deep knowledge of the people who use them.
Own design across our user-facing products end to end, from research and problem framing through spec, launch and iteration.
Lead research directly. Sit with referral coordinators and phone staff, learn how they actually work, and turn what you find into product direction.
Craft polished, trustworthy interfaces that hold up under the density and pressure of real clinical operations.
Partner with the founders, product, and engineers to set product vision and roadmap.
Prototype quickly, in code or whatever communicates the idea best, so the team can react, align, and build the right thing faster.
As the founding designer, you’ll own brand and marketing too: sales one-pagers, pitch and partner decks, and the website.
Ship high-quality work fast in an early-stage, often ambiguous environment.

Requirements

What you’ll need

6+ years of product design experience
Experience designing complex products across multiple companies, ideally B2B SaaS, systems-heavy, or operational internal tools, with ownership from problem definition through launch
A strong portfolio showing product thinking, polished UI craft, the reasoning behind the work, and the results it drove
Experience designing both product interfaces and brand and marketing materials
Strong research instincts and the ability to run your own user sessions
Fluency in Figma for interface design and prototyping, and comfort with the broader design toolkit for brand and marketing work
Comfort using current AI tools like Cursor, GPT, and Claude as part of your practice, and judgment about where they fall short
Excellent collaboration and communication in a cross-functional, fast-moving team.
