What we look for

We are seeking a creative problem-solver with proven industry experience designing for complex healthcare systems. This role requires a unique blend of executive-facing communication skills and hands-on execution expertise, designing intuitive digital experiences that leverage the power of AI.

The ideal candidate thrives in ambiguous environments, approaches challenges with resourcefulness and speed, and can translate intricate healthcare workflows into intuitive, human-centered experiences — from concept to delivery. This position requires a highly independent, self-directed professional who takes minimal direction, proactively executes tasks, and follows through on commitments with limited oversight.

Key Responsibilities

• Collaborate directly with senior executives, clinical leadership, and technology teams to align UX strategies with organizational goals.
• Tackle problems with creative, fast-moving solution design, balancing innovation with technical feasibility.
• Integrate and leverage AI tools, models, and analytics into design solutions to streamline workflows, enhance decision-making, and improve user engagement.
• Conduct user research, journey mapping, and usability testing within regulated healthcare settings.
• Translate research insights and data into actionable design recommendations for multi-stakeholder audiences.
• Produce clear, compelling design presentations for C-suite, clinicians, and technical teams.
• Apply UX best practices for responsive layouts, information architecture, and accessibility, ensuring solutions are compliant with healthcare regulations and standards.
• Integrate AI-powered features into the user experience, designing interfaces for analytics dashboards, predictive tools, and decision-support modules that feel seamless and actionable to all users.
• Own the end-to-end design lifecycle, from ideation and mapping to usability testing and design iteration, collaborating closely with developers to maintain fidelity of design vision through implementation.
• Create and maintain design systems and style guides for consistency across product lines, adapting to both user feedback and evolving organizational strategy.
• Present design rationale and prototypes to senior executives, clinicians, and technical stakeholders, incorporating feedback to ensure alignment with business goals and user needs.
• Directly design user interfaces and experience flows for healthcare applications, expertly translating research findings and system requirements into visually intuitive, accessible, and emotionally resonant screens and interactions.
• Develop wireframes, prototypes, and high-fidelity mockups, refining complex workflows into clear, user-centered patterns.
• Partner with development teams to ensure seamless handoff and implementation of design specifications.
• Maintain awareness of industry best practices, regulatory requirements, and emerging technologies in healthcare and AI UX.
• Operate independently with minimal supervision, proactively identifying opportunities, managing priorities, and driving projects to completion without requiring constant guidance or check-ins.
