About the Role
We’re at an inflection point as we define a transformed Member Experience and build toward it. As Lead Product Designer, Member & Provider Experience, you’ll help set the experience vision and direction across mobile and web—partnering closely with Product and Engineering leadership to turn complexity into simple, trusted experiences. You’ll lead cross-functional problem solving, raise the bar on quality and craft, and help scale design through strong decision-making, reusable patterns, and a healthy design system that powers speed and quality of delivery.
What You'll Own
End-to-end member + provider experiences across key journeys, surfaces, and teams
Experience vision + strategy: a compelling north star, multi-quarter plan, and sequencing that makes it real
Quality, consistency, and scalability through patterns, standards, and design system stewardship
Cross-functional facilitation: driving alignment, clarity, and decisions through structured problem-solving
What You'll Do
Define and communicate a clear experience vision, principles, and strategic roadmap with Product + Engineering
Facilitate cross-functional discovery and decision-making (workshops, critiques, working sessions) to align teams and resolve tradeoffs
Influence problem framing, success metrics, and scope using both qualitative insights and quantitative signals
Design hands-on: flows, IA, interaction models, UI, prototypes—making complex concepts feel obvious
Translate real constraints (policy, operations, compliance, edge cases, data limits) into consumer-grade experiences that build trust
Plan or guide research (interviews, usability tests, concept validation), synthesize findings into clear narratives, and drive shipped decisions
Evolve and govern the design system: scalable patterns, accessibility, documentation, and adoption
Mentor designers through critique, pairing, and calibration to level up craft and consistency
Lead an AI-forward design practice: use AI tools to accelerate exploration, synthesis, prototyping, and production; share repeatable workflows that improve team velocity and outcomes
What You'll Bring
7+ years designing digital products (or equivalent) at a product/tech company—comfortable moving fast in scrappy, startup-style environments across consumer mobile and/or web
A portfolio that shows you can simplify complex information through strong IA, hierarchy, and content craft
Strong interaction + visual craft (layout, typography, systems thinking) and fluency building with design systems at scale
Demonstrated thoughtful use of AI in day-to-day design practice—paired with a track record of teaching others and helping teams adopt new workflows.
Proven ability to lead multi-team, cross-functional initiatives and influence senior partners across Product, Engineering, Ops, Support, Compliance, and executive leadership
Strong facilitation: you can run working sessions that drive clarity, alignment, and decisions
Experience combining qualitative research with quantitative signals (funnels, analytics, experiments) to prioritize, iterate, and measure impact
Ability to balance long-term vision and scalability with rapid, iterative delivery
A strong commitment to accessibility and inclusive design
Clear, concise communicator who can explain tradeoffs, document decisions, and drive crisp decision-making
What You'll Get
Competitive salary, bonus opportunity, and equity package
Comprehensive Medical, Dental, and Vision benefits
A 401k retirement plan
Paid vacation and company holidays
Opportunity to make an impact at a rapidly growing mission-driven company transforming healthcare in the U.S.
