Design at Policygenius

Everyone at Policygenius, from our newest designer to our CEO, understands that the design process is our primary tool for empathy, problem solving, and innovation. Our product process is designed to de-risk what we build before we build it. In fact, the product and design teams focus nearly 70% of their time on Discovery; lining up experiments to validate our riskiest assumptions first. To be successful, we’ve built a balanced team who aims to deeply understand how our real, human users think about their safety nets!

Why Growth Design (Content/SEO) ?

Our entire design team focuses on product thinking and empathy, but it’s the Growth team that’s responsible for customer success, engagement, and retention. Whether they’re partnering with our award-winning content creators, or helping shape the future of our marketplaces, Growth designers ship lean, targeted tests to hit their goals. They’re metrics-minded, and understand which behaviors to look for to measure impact, while shaping a user experience that emphasizes trust. The Growth teams help users experience that first “a-ha” moment, build trust in our experts and advice, and understand how the Policygenius platform can support their financial protection goals.
