Senior Product Designer

Company details

Description of the offer

Nell and Dan founded Folia Health because it has been simply too hard for their family members to receive personalized, data-driven healthcare that directly addresses the issues they’re dealing with. People around the country and now the world, including our own team members and families, use Folia to track what they’re experiencing – fatigue, symptom flares, pain – alongside what they’re currently doing for treatment, and then use this information to understand the best way forward. Most Folia users also receive Data Dividends to share their data as part of our Research Programs, the business model that keeps Folia humming along.

Along the journey of building Folia, we’ve developed and validated a new type of health data – home-reported outcomes (or HROs). HROs allow people dealing with complex conditions to digitize their vast personal health knowledge, with simple responses to a personalized set of multiple-choice questions whenever they’re experiencing a change in their health. HROs are actually now a valued part of the research methods that leading life sciences companies use to understand how their therapies are impacting people in the real world.

Folia (‘foglia’ is leaf in Italian) was named for the power of the individual contributions of people tracking their own health experiences. Each individual contributor is a leaf on the tree, performing important tasks to enable the whole (healthcare) tree to grow and become stronger – ultimately benefitting the leaf itself. (Yes we may have taken the metaphor too far…)

We are:

• Female-founded and led by parents and family caregivers
• Stubbornly focused on making healthcare make sense
• 9 years in business
• Backed by top venture funds with a strong financial runway
• Made possible by our fast-growing user community with thousands of users in rare conditions

Job Description

Folia Health is seeking a talented and mission-driven Senior Product Designer to join our growing team. This role is perfect for someone passionate about user experience, solving real frustrations of patients and caregivers, and improving lives through research-driven healthcare.

In this role, you will be responsible for designing exceptional user experiences for the Folia Health mobile app, as well as some web-based solutions for users and clients. You will be responsible for working with our Product & Research to understand the requirements and value behind features, designing features in Figma, iterating based on feedback and user testing, and ultimately working with Engineering to implement designs & ensure simplicity. You will also have latitude to design and execute user research and user testing before we build, along with support from Product & Operations here.

You will be the only designer on the team, so working as a sole designer alongside Product & Engineering shouldn’t faze you. Long term, this role may offer the opportunity to grow into a director overseeing a team of designers as we scale, but that depends on our hiring needs.

What you’ll do:

• Own and drive end-to-end design work across key product initiatives — from discovery through delivery and iteration
• Partner closely with Product, Engineering, and Research to shape product strategy and define user-centered solutions
• Lead design sprints, workshops, and collaborative problem-solving sessions to help align Product & Engineering around user needs
• Create high-fidelity prototypes, flows, and interface designs that are both elegant and highly functional
• Consider qualitative and quantitative data from Operations & user testing feedback to validate design decisions and inform product improvements
• Elevate the quality of visual and interaction design across the product, championing craft and consistency
• Collaborate with Engineering to ensure smooth handoff and implementation fidelity, and work to develop design systems over time
• Contribute to a healthy design culture through critique, documentation, and knowledge sharing

You are:

• Someone with 3+ years as a product designer in a fast-paced environment
• Motivated by making healthcare easier for people living with complex conditions
• A person with exemplary oral and written communication skills
• Someone with exceptional taste and the ability to design quickly without sacrificing quality
• A good listener who loves finding simple solutions to complex problems
• Someone who is comfortable operating in Figma and working as a sole designer
• Curious to acquire a strong knowledge of our product and user pain points to design effectively

Compensation

The base salary range is $140,000-$180,000. The starting salary will be determined to be commensurate with experience. The full compensation package includes stock option grants and additional benefits, including Health, Dental, Vision, and 401k plan.
