Senior Product Designer
Hi, we’re Lively. Are you?
We’re revolutionizing hearing care. We’re on a mission to empower tens of millions of people to hear better through convenient, personalized hearing care — at a fraction of the cost thanks to telemedicine. We’re led by a crew of enormously talented thinkers, creators, and doers who are as collaborative as they are compassionate (and passionate). It’s an exciting time to be here.
So, why Lively?
In three years, we went from a scrappy startup to a leader in the direct-to-consumer hearing care space with the backing of our parent company GN, a global pioneer in intelligent audio solutions, to prove it. We’re a data-thirsty, outcomes-driven group that cares as deeply about our employees as we do our customers. If you’re looking for a place that will challenge you intellectually and creatively, a place that will cultivate your career and support your growth, come join our growing team.
