About the Lead Product Designer role at Headspace Health:
Headspace Health is looking for a Lead Product Designer to join our human-centered product design team. Working with passionate and creative cross-functional teams, the Lead Product Designer will play a critical role in delivering against our company vision.
As a Lead Product Designer at Headspace Health, your holy grail is creating an ideal and impactful user experience across our mobile app and web product. This involves developing a deep understanding of our users’ needs, behaviors, and contexts in order to design features that fit their real, everyday lives. You’ll embark on research projects, develop new design concepts, and work closely with other designers and developers to experiment and ultimately bring abstract concepts to life. Beyond the product, you’ll also collaborate with folks on the brand and the business side to ensure a cohesive experience across the entire Headspace Health journey.
As a designer, you have a natural curiosity about human behavior. You like running experiments and user tests, knowing that good design comes from a process of continuous making, testing, learning and, iterating. You’re a collaborator; you have an ability to work well with others, bridge gaps across teams, and involve others at every stage of the design process.
You can think on micro and macro levels, approaching complex problems using a balance of brainpower and intuition. You’re able to think about the big picture, mapping out system architectures, user flows, and content taxonomies. At the same time, you’re happy to roll up your sleeves and sketch out an interface or write a few choice lines of copy.
Above all, you’re an advocate for our users and you always keep them at the center of your design process.
