Lead Product Designer

Allswell•San Francisco, CA

About The Position

Allswell is building the leading mental health company for the LGBTQ+ community. Affirming, high-quality care is still hard to find and harder to afford, and we are fixing that with a specialized clinical model, technology that makes our clinicians more effective, and insurance coverage that puts real care within reach. The clinical outcomes are strong, and the growth is fast. Since launching, we have served hundreds of clients across Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, DC, and are in-network with Medicaid and major commercial plans in all three. 79% of clients report reduced depression and 72% report reduced anxiety after 60 or more days of care. We are expanding our services and footprint quickly, and building the team to match. Backed by leading healthcare and impact investors, we have the runway to do it right. About the role We're looking for a Lead Product Designer to join our small but mighty product team and design the core experiences that define Allswell for patients and providers. Reporting directly to our CTO, this is a high-ownership, high-impact role. You’ll design the experiences that help patients get started at Allswell, stay connected to their therapists, and ultimately feel better. You’ll also work closely with clinicians to translate well-studied, evidence-based clinical tools into patient experiences that feel intuitive, engaging, and relatable. This isn’t a “gun for hire” design role. You’ll own complex design problems end-to-end, leading our user research, building prototypes that drive quick alignment, and shipping polished features in close partnership with Allswell’s engineering and product team. This role is both strategy & execution focused: you’ll set the design direction while staying hands-on, turning ideas into thoughtful, polished product experiences.

A strong, diverse portfolio that demonstrates clear, decisive design instincts, from user research and prototyping through shipped product
Fluency with AI tools. You experiment aggressively with AI and continuously rethink what great designers should spend their time doing.
A research mindset and genuine energy for talking with real users
A clear, thoughtful, and direct communication style

Experience leading a design team or mentoring other designers
