Product Designer

Note: This role is based at our NYC HQ; however, our office is closed through June 2021.

Despite advances that have made the discovery of new drug candidates faster than ever, thousands of potential treatments remain "on the shelf," untested, because of the enormous bottleneck of putting them through clinical trials. On average, getting a drug through the trial process takes nearly a decade and frequently costs over $1B -- and over time, the problem has only gotten worse. As a result, only a select few treatments ever get a shot at reaching patients who need them. To make matters worse, the high cost of clinical trials often results in high drug prices for patients.

Join us in building a tech platform that changes the way physicians, researchers, and patients work together to advance medical research.

• Working with your product squad to continuously refine and deliver design against the vision and key objectives for your product area
• Conducting discovery with users and stakeholders to shape project design briefs
• Leading an iterative design process from low to high fidelity, using prototypes to drive hypothesis-testing with users and stakeholders
