We are driven by discovered and researched insights about human behaviors.

About the Lead Product Designer role:

Headspace Health is looking for a passionate designer to design effective, user-friendly products to deliver effective mental health care, wellbeing, and meditation education through a human-centered lens.

You will play a critical role in delivering against our company vision.

You should bring a passion for personal and societal transformation, for working with others to solve interesting problems, a love for behavioral design, and a desire to build rich, useful digital and human-delivered experiences.

The Lead Product Designer will be responsible for applying a systems-thinking lens to the design of our Member-facing apps and clinician tools. You’ll work with our design research team to lead your product design process with customer insights and journeys, facilitate collaborative co-design workshops with subject matter experts and stakeholders, and design and ship accessible, inclusive experiences that deliver great care to our Members.

This role is both one of strategic design thinking and design doing. You will be able to move fluidly from research in the field to flows and screens that deliver experiences directly to our Members.
