Senior UX Designer

Bellese is a mission-driven Digital Services Company committed to pioneering innovative technology solutions in civic healthcare. Our dedication lies in making a meaningful impact on public health outcomes. 
Driven by service design, we strive to know the “Why” to understand the healthcare journey for patients, caregivers, providers, payers, and policymakers. Our goal is to design and build solutions that reduce confusion, provide clarity, support decision making, and streamline the process so that we and our partners can focus on providing better health outcomes by improving patient care and reducing costs and burden.
Are you passionate about building and delivering modern digital services for government and healthcare users? Are you an advocate for human centered design, user experience research, and customer-centric solutions? Do you have experience working in service design, with bonus points for experience in federal agency settings? Have you assisted other companies undergoing a digital transformation? 
This Sr. Service Designer will have the opportunity to work with our multifunctional product team as they build out a critical service offering for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. In addition to leading pathfinding research, they will partner with our Principal Service Designer to empower delivery teams and their embedded Human-Centered Design personnel with a consistent, repeatable,  agile  approach  to  design  operations. 
Further,  they  will  support  the  unified  cross-functional leadership team as we work towards a more consistent platform experience. Practically, we expect the role to split their time evenly across research, operations, and UX architecture activities.  We  do  not  anticipate  substantive  interface  design  responsibilities  for  this  role,  but fluency with modern software design systems and best practices are critical. Beyond the day-to-day work of service design on our project, you’ll also be well-positioned to champion HCD and user experience across CMS.  
We are in uncertain times and ensuring great service for our government and healthcare customers is more important than ever.
