About the role

We’re looking for a Senior Product Designer to lead end-to-end design across telemonitoring and at-home diagnostics. You’ll work closely with Product, Engineering, and Clinical teams to translate complex needs into intuitive, accessible, and high-trust experiences. You’ll mentor a junior designer and help evolve our design system and design culture.

You will

• Lead discovery: conduct user research with patients and healthcare professionals; synthesize insights into opportunities.
• Design end-to-end: translate insights into journeys, flows, wireframes, high-fidelity UIs, and prototypes.
• Ship with impact: partner with PM and Engineering from scope to launch; define success metrics; iterate based on data and feedback.
• Elevate craft and quality: drive accessibility, information architecture, and interaction patterns that reduce cognitive load.
• Facilitate alignment: run workshops to frame problems, explore solutions, and make informed trade-offs.
• Mentor: support a junior designer’s growth and help shape design best practices and rituals.
• Contribute to systems: evolve our design system for consistency, scalability, and speed.

What success looks like

• Reduced clinical workload via clearer workflows and fewer steps.
• Higher adherence and engagement for patients using remote monitoring.
• Measurable improvements in task completion, error rates, and support tickets.
• Faster delivery cycles without quality trade-offs.
• A stronger, more cohesive design culture and system.

Qualifications

• 5+ years in Product Design with shipped, impactful work on complex products (healthcare/medtech is a plus).
• Demonstrated end-to-end ownership: research, strategy, interaction design, prototyping, usability testing, delivery.
• Strong systems thinking: can simplify complex workflows into elegant, accessible solutions.
• Experience facilitating workshops and aligning cross-functional teams.
• Portfolio that shows clear problem framing, process, rationale, and outcomes (metrics or clear proxy measures).
• Fluent in Italian (B2/C1+) and professional English; excellent communication with clinical stakeholders.
• Based in Italy; ability to join occasional sessions in Milan.

Nice to Haves

• Experience in regulated or high-trust domains (healthcare, fintech, gov).
• Familiarity with accessibility standards (WCAG), service design, and motion for clarity.
• Analytics and experiment mindset (e.g., Amplitude, product metrics, A/B tests).
• Experience with design systems at scale (Figma libraries, tokens).
• Basic understanding of clinical standards/workflows is a plus.
