- Translate research insights into user journeys, personas, and workflows.
- Create wireframes, prototypes, and polished UI designs that balance usability, aesthetics, and technical feasibility.
- Define design patterns and contribute to building a scalable design system.
Cross-Functional Collaboration
- Work with Product to explore concepts, iterate quickly, and validate solutions before development.
- Partner with Engineering to ensure designs are implementable, responsive, and consistent across platforms.
- Support Sales and Marketing by creating product collateral (sales decks, sheets, clickable demos) that communicate value to customers and prospects.
Data Visualization & Complex Interfaces
- Design intuitive ways to present complex datasets, dashboards, and analytics.
- Focus on clarity, interactivity, and storytelling in data-heavy contexts.

- Proficiency in design tools like Figma, Sketch, Adobe XD, or similar.
- Excellent communication and facilitation skills — able to bridge product, engineering, and business teams.
- Comfortable taking initiative, making design decisions, and being the voice of design in the company.
- Experience in healthcare, enterprise SaaS, or regulated industries.
- Familiarity with design systems, accessibility standards (WCAG), and responsive frameworks.
