The product design team's vision is to make buying insurance enjoyable and simple through outstanding design. Our team is looking for a Senior Product Designer that leverages user insights to develop creative strategies and deliver accessible solutions within the appropriate scope.

While we are open to remote work across the contingent US, we are still in the process of establishing our company to support work in all states! We’ve recently made the shift from an in-office organization to a hybrid model and are loving the flexibility it allows our employees.

  • Build products through a process of constant iteration and optimization. Rapidly produce multiple concepts and prototypes, knowing when to apply pixel-perfect attention to detail and when to create low-fi sketches and prototypes.
  • Be autonomous. You’ll take full ownership of your work and responsibility for every last detail.
  • Further a clear and collaborative working environment, communicating critical information clearly and effectively as part of a multi-disciplinary team with UX writers, UX researchers, product managers, developers, data scientists, analysts, and other designers.
  • Lead design meetings and facilitate knowledge sharing, collaboration, and decision making.

  • People-focused design mentality. You possess a strong understanding of usability and user experience principles.
  • Product/brand integrity. Excellent sense of product and brand continuity and are aware of current and emerging UX and visual design trends.
  • Understanding of quantitative and qualitative analysis. You use data to make educated design decisions, have experience collaborating with product managers and developers to A/B test your work, and have worked with UX research to create prototypes to validate user needs.
  • Thoughtful cross-functional partner. You aren't afraid to ask the right questions throughout a project’s lifecycle and look for opportunities to improve working relationships and processes.
  • Detail-oriented and self-sufficient. You want to find creative solutions and build something from scratch.
