UX Designer

Overview:Now is the time to join us!

At Virgin Pulse we value and celebrate diversity and we are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees. We believe in creating teams made up of individuals with various backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives. Why? Because diversity inspires innovation, collaboration, and challenges us to produce better solutions. But more than this, diversity is our strength, and a catalyst in our ability to #changelivesforgood.

Responsibilities:

Who are you?

As a member of the Product Design team, you will help shape our global health and wellbeing product by applying hands-on UX design and product thinking skills. Our software platform spans from the web to wearables, from iOS to Android and other connected devices and reaches more than 14 million impacted members across 20 languages and 190 countries. You will enjoy a wide mix of work ranging from consumer-style health app design to complex back-end admin interfaces. You will create not only end-state UI but also strategic artifacts including task flows, wireframes, and concepts. You will join an innovative product experience team that includes product managers, UX designers and researchers, content strategists, and other specialists in a highly collaborative agile environment.

What’s special about our team?

We nerd out on health and behavior change principles. We collaborate weekly on work in flight, listen to playlists while we design together, brainstorm innovative futures in “blue sky” sessions, and chat over a monthly Podcast Club. We have the flexibility to lead our own research studies or lean on our devoted researcher’s expertise. We encourage all team members to contribute to our vision from whichever corner they inhabit. We value continuous learning, sharing what you know, and supporting others at every level.

In this role you will wear many hats, but your knowledge will be essential in the following:

• You are a strategic thinker with a growing toolkit of user-centered design methods to understand user challenges.
• You are highly collaborative and are eager to work with cross-functional teams.

• You are a self-starter with an interest in qualitative and quantitative research methods to help you confidently evangelize the voice of the user across our organization.
• You are eager to engage in discussions about how parts of a system influence the whole.
• You are a visual communicator with a high attention to detail who cares deeply about delivering high-quality experiences for users.

You’ll be rewarded and recognized for your performance in an environment that will challenge you and give you clear direction on what it takes to succeed in your role as well as provide development for other roles you may be interested in.
