About the role

Senior product designer role focused on defining AI-first design processes, leading design for complex, data-dense, AI-powered workflows, and shaping design systems at Vitalize.

Responsibilities

  • Build our AI-first design workflow: figure out how AI fits into every stage of our design process, from exploration and prototyping to production. Set the best practices, workflows, and quality standards the team adopts
  • Lead by example: use AI daily to explore, prototype, and test ideas quickly, then bring the strongest directions to production quality
  • Set design direction across the product: lead design for our most complex, cross-cutting product areas from discovery through launch, and shape the long-term product vision alongside Product and Engineering leadership
  • Design complex, workflow-heavy experiences: make data-dense operational tools intuitive for users ranging from central staffing teams and unit managers to frontline clinicians
  • Shape how AI shows up in the product: decide where AI meaningfully improves workflows and how its recommendations, reasoning, and actions appear, so clinical and operational users can trust and act on them
  • Work directly with customers: visit hospitals, observe real workflows, lead research, and translate what you learn into product decisions and strategy
  • Influence the roadmap: question the underlying workflow, find opportunities beyond the immediate request, and connect design decisions to customer and business outcomes
  • Raise the bar for the whole team: mentor other designers, lead critique, and build the practices, rituals, and quality standards that help a small design team do exceptional work

Qualifications

  • 10+ years of product design experience, including significant time designing complex, workflow-heavy B2B SaaS products, with a portfolio that shows end-to-end ownership of high-impact, ambiguous problems, from problem definition through shipped product and measurable outcomes
  • An AI-first design workflow you can teach
  • Experience designing AI-powered products: you’ve shipped experiences where AI makes recommendations or takes action, and you think carefully about trust, transparency, and when a human should stay in the loop
  • Exceptional product instincts and craft
  • Strategic influence: you set direction, not just respond to requests, and can align product, engineering, and leadership around a design vision backed by evidence
  • A customer- and outcomes-oriented mindset: you’re comfortable in hospitals observing operational workflows firsthand, and you connect your work to measurable impact for customers and the business
  • Design systems leadership: you’ve built or led the evolution of a design system and know how to balance consistency with the speed of an early-stage company
  • A multiplier on the team: you’ve mentored designers, raised the craft bar through critique, and shaped how a design team works, and you’re excited to stay hands-on while helping build the function
