How This Role Makes a Difference
The Product Designer contributes to end-to-end digital experiences that support Care Access participants, members, and the internal teams who serve them. This role translates complex, evolving needs across health screenings, clinical research, participant engagement, recruitment, member services, and operational workflows into clear, accessible, and intuitive product experiences.
Working with the Principal Product Designer and cross-functional partners in product, engineering, research, and relevant business or operational teams, the Product Designer owns assigned design work from problem definition through delivery. Depending on priorities, the work may include participant-facing experiences or internal tools used by recruitment, member services, clinical research coordinators, and other teams that engage and support participants.
Day to day, this mid-level designer moves between discovery, workflow definition, hands-on interface design, prototyping, feedback, and implementation support. The role requires comfort shifting between products as priorities evolve, sharing work early, incorporating feedback, and partnering closely with developers to deliver practical, high-quality solutions.
