## About the Role

Do you have experience in iOS?, * Extraordinary visual design craft: you produce work that is polished, intentional, and immediately distinguishable from templated defaults

 * Obsession with user experience: you think in flows, edge cases, and emotional states, not just screens
 * Strong design systems thinking: you build for consistency and scale, not just the current feature
 * Comfort working in ambiguity on a small team, where priorities shift and resourcefulness matters
 * Ability to synthesize clinical, commercial, and user needs into a single coherent design direction
 * Highly proactive and self-directed: everyone on our team manages their own workload, flag risks and opportunities early, and drives work forward without being asked
 * Clear and confident communicator who can present design rationale to clinical, engineering, and executive stakeholders
 * Ability to move fluidly between high-level strategy and detailed execution - comfortable writing a user story as readily as shaping a product vision
 * Strong written communication skills, with a knack for turning ambiguous ideas into structured, actionable requirements
 * Experience collaborating directly with engineering teams in an agile environment, including backlog grooming and sprint planning, * 5+ years of product design experience, with a strong portfolio demonstrating end-to-end ownership of complex digital products
 * 3+ years of product management experience, ideally in a startup or small team environment where you've owned the full product lifecycle
 * Background working in or alongside clinical teams, with the ability to translate clinical logic into user-facing flows
 * Exceptional visual design skills-typography, color, layout, iconography-with a clear and distinctive aesthetic sensibility building upon and elevating Canopie's existing design framework
 * Strong experience designing for mobile (iOS/Android) and responsive web; fluency in platform conventions and accessibility standards
 * Experience in digital health, clinical technology, or a consumer health product where user trust, engagement, and outcomes were core design considerations
 * Proficiency in Figma, including component libraries, auto-layout, and design system management
 * Experience conducting and synthesizing user research (interviews, usability testing, surveys) to inform design decisions
 * Understanding of HIPAA-compliant product environments and sensitivity to designing for vulnerable populations
 * Demonstrated experience writing user stories and managing a product backlog using tools like Linear, Jira, or similar

You Might Also Have

 * Direct experience designing for maternal health, women's health, or perinatal care: you understand this member population deeply
 * Experience with B2B2C products where you've had to serve both enterprise partners and end consumers
 * Familiarity with SOC-2 and GovRamp data standards or health plan reporting environments
 * Motion design or micro-interaction experience that elevates engagement, We are looking for highly motivated, talented individuals who bring both craft and conviction to their work. The right person for this role is someone who:
 * Has an unusually high bar for design quality and gets genuinely bothered by things that are off
 * Moves quickly and independently: takes initiative, makes decisions, and asks for input strategically rather than waiting for direction
 * Brings warmth and empathy to everything they design, especially when the end user is a new or expecting mother navigating a hard moment
 * Thrives in a small team environment with a lot of ownership, minimal bureaucracy, and direct impact
 * Is energized by a mission and the chance to build something that meaningfully improves health outcomes

## Description

We are currently seeking a Senior Product and Design Lead who will own end-to-end design across Canopie's member-facing app, clinical delivery tools, and partner-facing reporting interfaces. This is a hands-on design and management role for someone who loves to get into the details and produce exceptional work.

Day to day, you can expect to:

 * Own the full design lifecycle from discovery and user research to wireframes, high-fidelity mockups, and production-ready specs for the Canopie product suite
 * Lead UX research with members (pregnant and postpartum women), clinicians, and health plan partners to continuously surface insights and validate design decisions
 * Set and maintain the Canopie design system, ensuring visual and interaction consistency across mobile (iOS/Android) and web platforms (web app and website)
 * Translate clinical program requirements and partner needs into intuitive, accessible user experiences that balance engagement with health outcomes
 * Partner closely with engineering to ensure designs are implemented with fidelity; provide clear, annotated specs and be hands-on during QA
 * Drive proactive design improvements-you don't wait to be asked; you identify opportunities and bring proposals forward
 * Contribute to product strategy conversations, bringing a strong point of view on the member experience and how design decisions affect engagement, retention, and outcomes
 * Support B2B deliverables including partner-facing dashboards, reporting tools, and sales demo materials in close collaboration with the Head of Marketing and Engagement
 * Translate rough product ideas and stakeholder feedback into clear, detailed requirements and acceptance criteria
 * Write and maintain user stories, ensuring each captures the user need, context, and definition of done
 * Partner closely with engineering during refinement to clarify requirements, resolve ambiguity, and right-size scope
 * Own and prioritize the product backlog, balancing user impact, business value, and technical dependencies
 * Facilitate trade-off conversations between design intent, engineering effort, and delivery timelines

Employee has an individual responsibility for knowledge of and compliance with laws, regulations, and policies. Compliance is a condition of employment and is considered an element of job performance. All team members are expected to maintain HIPAA/patient confidentiality, maintain regular and reliable attendance, and complete other job duties as assigned.
