Lead Product Designer – Benefits

As a design lead, you are primarily responsible for helping designers create high-quality work while designing meaningful growth paths. Your goal is to grow Junior and Intermediate designers into Senior Designers, and Senior Designers into Leads through ongoing support, coaching and collaboration.

You’ll still design in pixels, but you’ll also play an important role in a project’s success through goal setting: ensuring we’re meeting our initiative and/or company-wide goals as well as feature-specific micro-KPI’s. Designers look to you to provide clear direction and hard skills development through project support, skills matrix evaluations, and more.

As a Design leader, you ensure that all voices are heard in the design process, and facilitate and lead design rituals/process and other collaborative sessions to bring the best ideas to life.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities 

• Design Operations (Managing tooling and contributing to Design Systems)
• Product Design
• Mentorship and Growth
• Community and Thought Leadership

Desired Outcomes

• An inspiring and inclusive environment for the design team
• Project success (for yourself and your team)
• High-quality design work that meets design principles and quality standards
• Robust tooling and seamless Design Ops processes

About you:

• You have 5-7+ years of working experience as a Product and/or UX Designer or 1-2+ years as a lead managing product designers; preferably in the healthcare industry.

• You have a portfolio of past experience that demonstrates your process and highlights your skill and success leading app design and direction with clear and significant impact
• You have solid experience leading a team through the entire product design process, from research and problem discovery through to detailed interaction and visual design.
• You have led a team that has successfully shipped multiple cross-platform digital products.
• Strong sketching / whiteboarding skills that can quickly communicate complex ideas to teammates and stakeholders
• Excellent communication / cross-functional collaboration skills (we’re all one team!)
• The experiences, user flows and interactions you design are intentional and validated by real customers
• You are comfortable with ambiguity and enjoy helping to surface and define problems, not simply designing solutions.
• You have a strong ability to think technically, with working knowledge of platform patterns for Responsive Web and native mobile apps.
• Strong coaching and development skills; you are someone who cares deeply about empowering their team to do their best work
