Senior Product Designer

About us

Pomelo Care is a multi-disciplinary team of clinicians, engineers and problem solvers who are passionate about improving care for moms and babies. We are transforming outcomes for pregnant people and babies with evidence-based pregnancy and newborn care at scale. Our technology-driven care platform enables us to engage patients early, conduct individualized risk assessments for poor pregnancy outcomes, and deliver coordinated, personalized virtual care throughout pregnancy, NICU stays, and the first postpartum year. We measure ourselves by reductions in preterm births, NICU admissions, c-sections and maternal mortality; we improve outcomes and reduce healthcare spend.

Your north star: Designing exceptionally intuitive experiences that empower clinicians and patients to interact seamlessly, ensuring patients get the care they need, when they need it.

• Drive cross-functional alignment: Facilitate workshops and discussions with product, engineering, clinical, and operational stakeholders to drive towards holistic solutions that prioritize seamless care coordination and rapid patient benefit.
• Champion data-informed improvements: Utilize user research, usability testing, and relevant data to continuously refine and enhance our products, ensuring they demonstrably improve patient care, increase user satisfaction, and help Pomelo achieve its goals.
• Elevate design standards: Act as a strong advocate for user-centered design principles across the organization, contributing to our design system and mentoring others to elevate the overall quality and impact of our solutions.

• Proven track record of independently leading thoughtful user research processes that directly evaluate potential design directions.
• Excellent systems-thinking skills, connecting product and operational changes to meet the needs of users.
