Lead Product Designer - Healthcare Innovator
This is an exciting opportunity to join a newly founded startup in the healthcare sector as a Lead Product Designer. You will be responsible for shaping the product from concept to prototype, helping bring to life a tool that will transform how doctors communicate with each other and with patients.
You'll work closely with the founding team to build an interactive prototype that sets the direction for future development. This is a high-impact opportunity to influence product design, workflow logic, and the client's overall mission from day one.
Key Responsibilities:
* Collaborate directly with the founders (clinicians) to understand their workflow, pain points, and goals
* Translate early concepts and requirements into user flows, wireframes, and high-fidelity interactive prototypes
* Lead the founders through the end-to-end product design process — from research through prototyping
* Iterate designs based on feedback from medical professionals and internal stakeholders
* Build the design foundation for future product development, including design systems and component libraries
* Communicate design rationale clearly to both non-technical founders and technical teams
Requirements:
* Based in Brazil and advanced/fluent in English
* 5+ years of experience in UX/UI or product design, with a strong portfolio of interactive web/mobile prototypes
* Demonstrated ability to translate abstract or clinical problems into elegant design solutions
* Proficiency with advanced prototyping tools (Figma, Adobe XD, Origami, etc.)
* Excellent collaboration and communication skills, especially with non-technical stakeholders
* Strong ownership mentality — you'll be the only designer and an early voice in product direction
Bonus Points:
* Having engineering experience developing SaaS applications
* Having engineering/product leadership experience
* Knowledge of design for communication tools or messaging apps
* Experience working with healthcare-related platforms
* Experience working with early-stage startups
* Familiarity with health tech security standards
About this Role:
* You're joining at the ground floor — helping shape the core product experience
* You'll have direct influence over user experience and product decisions
* Work closely with real users (doctors) to solve meaningful problems in patient care
* Set the design foundation for future hires and product scale-up
