At UPMC Enterprises, we help create health care innovations that will impact the lives of patients in meaningful, lasting ways. We build companies by partnering with existing health care technology companies to accelerate their growth by designing and developing exceptional products. We have direct access to end users (providers and patients) to observe, learn from, and make an impact. Central to these company-building activities is the role of the Product Designer.
Product Designers are early in their careers and are creative, thoughtful individuals with a strong aptitude for designing, prototyping, producing best-in-class experiences, improving workflows, and paying attention to detail. Passionate individuals that create compelling, engaging, and meaningful human-centered experiences for clinical specialists and their teams. An individual capable, with minimal oversight and guidance, of driving their design projects to fruition as they collaborate closely with cross-functional teams including product managers, software engineers, stakeholders, and clinical and operational users to conceptualize, design, and iterate on user interfaces and experiences. Their work should demonstrate a strong command of visual and interaction design principles combined with an innate understanding of how people use digital interfaces to communicate clearly and emotively with a diverse audience. While producing best-in-class experiences, they receive support to function independently and to develop leadership, management, and communication skills.
The ideal candidate should be a problem solver, have a strong understanding of user-centered design principles, excellent visual design skills, and proficiency in design tools such as Figma and/or Adobe Creative . Additionally, experience with customer engagement, presentation skills, prototyping, and usability testing methodologies is highly desired.
