Collaborate day‑to‑day with Product Management, Engineering, and Science to build intuitive, elegant user experiences. Produce high‑fidelity mockups and interactive prototypes that meet our standards for quality and consistency. Apply and extend our existing design system rather than build it from scratch. Lead user research and usability testing; translate findings into design improvements. Develop a working understanding of our biopharma customers’ workflows and pain points. Who You Are Craftsperson—hold a high bar for design quality, and know when to ship, learn, and iterate. User‑centered—start with empathy and advocate for user needs while respecting business and technical realities. Curious & intentional—ask “why,” sweat the details, and can clearly explain the rationale behind your decisions. Collaborative—thrive in multidisciplinary teams and integrate input from product management, science, and engineering. Resilient & adaptable—stay focused through churn, ambiguity, and iteration. Qualifications 3–5 years of product design experience, with a portfolio showing strong interaction design, visual design, and problem‑solving.

Expert in Figma and modern prototyping tools. Strong communication and storytelling; able to articulate and defend design decisions. Experience contributing to user research and usability testing. Comfortable in a fast‑paced, agile environment, managing multiple efforts at once. Exposure to 0→1 product work is a plus. Knowledge of healthcare, biopharma, or clinical trials is a plus, not required. What a Great Portfolio Looks Like Case studies that describe goals, research insights, constraints, concepts, trade‑offs, and impact. Evidence of craft and clear problem‑solving—not just visual polish. Work involving data‑rich or workflow‑heavy products.
