Lead Product Designer

What you'll do - Own the product experience across our full web surface and future mobile app - from discovery to shipped product. - Design end-to-end flows for complex productivity workflows (task management, collaboration, automation, analytics, etc.). - Create and evolve Assemble's design system to enable us to ship with high velocity and quality. - Prototype with modern AI tools like Cursor & Bolt to explore interactions, flows, and lightweight coded prototypes. - Partner tightly with product & engineering to define problems, shape specs, and iterate quickly based on real usage. - Run lean discovery - user interviews, lightweight usability tests, and rapid experiments to validate ideas. - Champion craft & UX quality while still shipping quickly in a startup environment. - Lay the foundations for a future design team, including processes, rituals, and documentation that others can build on.

What we're looking for - Deeply mission-driven and excited by the idea of making healthcare work better for the people who run it. - Experienced product designer (typically 5-8+ years) with a strong portfolio of impactful work in productivity software. - Demonstrated ability to simplify complex, multi-step workflows into intuitive, delightful experiences. - Experience building or contributing to a design system (Figma libraries, tokens, component standards, usage guidelines). - Comfortable working from problem definition to polished UI - strategy, IA, interaction design, visual design, and prototyping. - Hands-on experience using modern AI tooling (e.g.

Cursor, Bolt, or similar) to speed up exploration, prototyping, or implementation. - Comfortable working quickly in high ambiguity: you're comfortable with vague problem spaces, shifting priorities, and 0→1 product work. Speed enables quality through tighter iteration cycles. - Strong product sense: you think in terms of impact, trade-offs, and user outcomes, not just visual polish. - Excellent communicator who can tell the story of your design decisions to both technical and non-technical teammates.

Bonus points - Experience designing for healthcare, frontline workforces, or operational tools. - Familiarity with mobile design patterns (iOS/Android) and designing with Shadcn components. - Experience as an early design hire or working in a seed/Series A startup. How we work - Fast, iterative shipping - we bias toward small, frequent releases and learning from real usage. - Low-ego collaboration - good ideas can come from anywhere; we debate, then commit. - Ownership - as the first designer, you'll help define how design shows up at Assemble. - Hybrid async/sync communication - thoughtful documentation, plus regular real-time design jams.
