United States Hybrid Employment

Assemble is hiring a Lead Product Designer

Responsibilities

  • Own the product experience across the full web surface and future mobile app – from discovery to shipped product.
  • Design end-to-end flows for complex productivity workflows (task management, collaboration, automation, analytics, etc.).
  • Create and evolve Assemble’s design system to enable high velocity and quality.
  • Prototype with modern AI tools like Cursor & Bolt to explore interactions, flows, and lightweight coded prototypes.
  • Partner tightly with product & engineering to define problems, shape specs, and iterate quickly based on real usage.
  • Run lean discovery – user interviews, lightweight usability tests, and rapid experiments to validate ideas.
  • Champion craft & UX quality while still shipping quickly in a startup environment.
  • Lay the foundations for a future design team, including processes, rituals, and documentation that others can build on.

Requirements

  • Deeply mission-driven and excited by the idea of making healthcare work better for the people who run it.
  • Experienced product designer (typically 5–8+ years) with a strong portfolio of impactful work in productivity software.
  • Demonstrated ability to simplify complex, multi-step workflows into intuitive, delightful experiences.
  • Experience building or contributing to a design system (Figma libraries, tokens, component standards, usage guidelines).
  • Comfortable working from problem definition to polished UI – strategy, IA, interaction design, visual design, and prototyping.
  • Hands-on experience using modern AI tooling (e.g. Cursor, Bolt, or similar) to speed up exploration, prototyping, or implementation.
  • Comfortable working quickly in high ambiguity: you’re comfortable with vague problem spaces, shifting priorities, and 0→1 product work.
  • Strong product sense: you think in terms of impact, trade-offs, and user outcomes, not just visual polish.
  • Excellent communicator who can tell the story of your design decisions to both technical and non-technical teammates.

Nice to Have

  • Experience designing for healthcare, frontline workforces, or operational tools.
  • Familiarity with mobile design patterns (iOS/Android) and designing with Shadcn components.
  • Experience as an early design hire or working in a seed/Series A startup.

Work Arrangement

Additional Information

  • Fast, iterative shipping – bias toward small, frequent releases and learning from real usage.
  • Low-ego collaboration – good ideas can come from anywhere; debate, then commit.
  • Ownership – as the first designer, you’ll help define how design shows up at Assemble.
  • Hybrid async/sync communication – thoughtful documentation, plus regular real-time design jams.
