- Drive user-centered innovation. Conduct generative and evaluative research (including user interviews, usability testing, and behavioral analysis) to deeply understand member needs, behaviors, and pain points.
- Uplevel the entire experience. Rethink navigation, benefit discovery, personalization, onboarding, and renewal flows using data and direct feedback from our members.
- Build a design system. Standardize components, patterns, and guidelines across platforms while advocating for simplicity, accessibility, and scalability.
- Prototype with the future in mind. Explore AI-driven interfaces, personalization strategies, and lightweight ML-enhanced tools to enrich the member experience.
- Partner closely with product, engineering, and marketing. Collaborate on product strategy, frequent growth experiments, and lifecycle initiatives. Be a key voice in defining our product roadmap.
- Champion design culture. Lead critiques, mentor junior designers (incl contractors), and foster cross-functional understanding of what great design can do.
- Experience with personalization, segmentation, or lifecycle UX is a strong plus
- Bias for speed - we are small and nimble. We can do in days what takes most teams weeks.
