Associate Product Designer

Company Overview:

Cohere Health is illuminating healthcare for patients, their doctors, and all those who are important in a patient’s healthcare experience, both in and out of the doctors office.  Founded in August, 2019, we are obsessed with eliminating wasteful friction patients and doctors experience in areas that have nothing to do with health and treatment, particularly for diagnoses that require expensive procedures or medications.  To that end, we build software that is expressly designed to ensure the appropriate plan of care is understood and expeditiously approved, so that patients and doctors can focus on health, rather than payment or administrative hassles.

Opportunity Overview:

We are looking for an exceptional Associate Product Designer to create delightful, end-to-end experiences that bring the best of consumer design to healthcare. Ultimately, your work will directly impact the experience and care that patients receive when they need help the most. 

As an Associate Product Designer, you will be asked to be a key part of the entire product development process, from rapidly sketching and testing prototypes, to working with engineering to tweak features as they are being built. You will have empathy and deeply understand our users - including patients, doctors, administrative staff, service team members - to create intuitive experiences that make it easy to get the job done. We are looking for a talented designer who thrives in ambiguity, has the desire to learn and collaborate cross-functionally, and designs systematic solutions that are equally thoughtful, elegant, and delightful.

Last but not least: People who succeed here are empathetic teammates who are candid, kind, caring, and embody our core values and principles. We believe that diverse, inclusive teams make the most impactful work. Cohere is deeply invested in ensuring that we have a supportive, growth-oriented environment that works for everyone.

What you will do: 

• Work across all stages of the design process (user research, ideation, concept development, validation, wireframing, prototyping, final visual design, and handoff to implementation);
• Deeply understand users and their needs, including generative user research and exploration;
• Create beautiful, emotionally compelling, pixel-perfect mockups of the end-to-end user experience;
• Iterate on prototypes with users and conduct usability testing;
• Craft systematic designs that connect the dots between user needs, data, business goals, and business strategy;
• Specify detailed systems of user interfaces, including typography, layout, iconography, and motion design for software engineers to implement;
• Participate in collaborative work sessions with all levels of company stakeholders such as product managers, product marketing, engineering and operations.

Your background:

• 1+ years of experience in software product design. Startup experience a plus;
• Passionate about improving the U.S. healthcare system and helping ensure every patient receives the best care possible;
• Iterated and launched consumer and/or B2B2C experiences that have scaled to millions of users;
• Participated in end-to-end product design for multiple products;
• Track record of delivering with cross-functional agile scrum teams;
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Design, HCI, Human Factors, or a related field OR equivalent experience.

When evaluating your experience and competencies we will be focusing on:

• An outstanding portfolio, showcasing your strengths in visual design craft, interaction design logic, and the rationale behind your design decisions;
• Mastery of modern design and prototyping tools such as Figma, Sketch, AdobeCC, InVision, Framer, Principle, Origami, Invision Studio, etc;
• Eloquent English verbal/written communication and presentation skills, with the ability to successfully articulate design concepts to your team and senior stakeholders;
• Strong ability to think technically and collaborate seamlessly with Technologists as it pertains to understanding the benefits, possibilities, and constraints of common coding languages and platforms;
• Effective time management skills to balance project schedule with fast-paced deadlines;
• Strong conceptual thinking that balances user needs, business goals, and feasibility;

Bonus points if you …have experience designing for healthcare or working with agile methods and with design thinking or Design Sprints. Additional bonus points if you come with experience in user testing and user insight frameworks.
