Jobleads-US is hiring: Senior Product Designer in San Francisco

We're looking for a senior product designer who's excited to help more patients access life-changing medicine.

Let's accelerate medical innovation

At Power, we're making clinical trials easy to navigate for all patients. Today, patients look to promising medical research when standard treatments have failed them. Unfortunately, there is no single source of truth that patients can understand and trust. The status quo is a government run website which is written in complex medical jargon that is impossible for most people to navigate.

At the same time, clinical trials are the bottleneck on medical innovation—new medicine takes almost 10 years to test and over 86% of all clinical trials are delayed because they can't find enough patients. This is one of the biggest problems facing the life science industry.

Power is the easiest way for patients to access promising new studies, thus helping more patients find treatments and speeding up the progress of medical research.

The role

As a product designer, you’ll take point on ensuring we offer an intuitive, supportive experience for patients grappling with serious illness. Power is still small & nimble, so you’ll lead your own research, contribute heavily to product direction, all while ensuring that we hold a high bar for design craft.

Tactically, in any given week you’ll spend time:

• Defining and driving research efforts to deeply understand problems in the patient discovery, evaluation, and enrollment process.
• Leading all solution exploration aimed at removing this friction, while simultaneously reducing the operational burden placed on the nurses who screen and enroll each patient.
• Sweating the details by working closely with engineers to ensure that features are delivered and keeping a pulse on both qualitative and quantitative results post-production.
• Facilitating a culture of continuous improvement, so that we’re regularly upgrading our process in pursuit of higher quality outputs.

About you

• You have shipped many consumer products over the years and understand what it takes to create world-class, consumer-oriented experiences.
• You’re energized by the opportunity to bob between company-level objectives and the granular, feature-level minutiae that define a wonderful product.
• You have a track record of contributing at a strategic level to long-term planning and quarterly roadmaps.
• You’re wholly comfortable leading your own research and take pride in not just internalizing user needs but communicating these clearly to the broader team.
• You can drive projects independently or work in a highly collaborative, cross-functional manner, balancing speed, craft, and business goals.

Nice to haves

• You have a personal connection to the space: much of our team has close family or friends who’ve interacted with clinical research from the patient perspective.
• You have a deep familiarity with marketplace businesses, clinical research, or health tech more broadly.
• You’ve led design teams of a larger scale, and will be able to help us see around corners.
• You have some other ‘spike’ or unique strength that would round us out! We’re always looking for complementary skills & experiences.
• You like to dive into the literature in your personal life — whether it be for sleep, nutrition, supplements, or something else entirely.

The product

Power is the most patient-friendly marketplace resource for clinical trials.

• Comprehensive: we make it easy to search across every trial in North America so patients never feel like they have blind spots.
• Simple: we apply a healthy amount of data engineering and empathy to the reams of unstructured medical data on clinical trials to simplify things for patients trying to evaluate potential trials.
• Connected: we help patients proactively reach out to the researchers directly and researchers love connecting with motivated patients.
