About The Position

Redesign Health is seeking a research-driven, product-minded Director of Product Design to discover, design, and build agentic products that are crucial to the company's decisions regarding founders, concepts, hiring, investors, and healthcare partners. This senior individual-contributor role requires a candidate who can deeply understand user needs, translate them into elegant product designs, and build them using AI-native tools. The role encompasses the entire product lifecycle, from user research and design to shipping a working front end, with a focus on product judgment and ownership akin to a founder. The Director will work with a global team of experienced professionals and lead through craft and influence.

Requirements

10+ years of experience designing and shipping software products, with significant time spent on user research.
Comfortable running discovery interviews and synthesizing findings.
Strong design practice across interaction, information architecture, and product thinking, with visual design as a notable strength.
Portfolio showcasing deeply usable and beautiful products.
Workflow completely reinvented around AI, building working front ends with tools like Claude, Claude Code, and modern AI prototyping environments.
Comfort with HTML/CSS and a modern component framework (React or similar) to build the frontend.
Product management instincts: ability to set strategy, prioritize, define metrics, and make decisions with incomplete information.
Experience working inside or building software for an investment firm, or significant experience with investors and operators.
Accomplished something most people haven’t: started a company, won an international award, shipped a product loved by many, performed craft at the highest level, or overcome difficult circumstances to succeed.
Dedicated life to excellence in craft.

Nice To Haves

Founding a company.
Building a product from 0-1.
Designing for expert and high-judgment users.
Having spent enough time around investors and operators to understand how they work.
A creative or athletic outlet, a family business, or service to which time, thought, and effort have been devoted.

Responsibilities

Embed with investment, talent, and global development teams to understand complex workflows and conduct user research (interviews, observation, synthesis).
Translate research insights into a clear point of view on how work should change with AI.
Design products, including information architecture, interaction design, and visual design, for both humans and agents.
Build working front ends using AI tools like Claude and Claude Code, rather than just creating handoff files.
Act as the product manager for assigned workflows, setting strategy, prioritizing, defining success, and measuring impact.
Raise the bar for AI-native product design across the firm by sharing work, contributing reusable patterns, and assisting teammates and portfolio companies.
