Blink Health is a healthcare technology company on a mission to change the way Americans access the vital medications they need. Our proprietary platform and supply chain allow us to offer everyone - whether they have insurance or not - the lowest prices on over 15,000 medications. When combined with telemedicine and home delivery, Blink is providing a life-changing experience for people all over the country and fixing how opaque, unfair and overpriced healthcare has become.

We are a highly-collaborative team of builders and operators dedicated to inventing new ways of working in an industry that historically has resisted innovation. We're assembling the experienced and talented team to get this done.

The role

As the Director of User Research you will reveal what our patients, physicians and pharmacies need and experience from our products by conducting primary and secondary research and exploring the behaviors and motivation of our users.

As the Director of User Research you will be responsible for building a world class team that will be embedded with a team of engineers, PMs, designers and other cross-functional partners.
