1d • $120,000 - $150,000 • Remote

About The Position

The Senior Product Designer (UX/UI) is a critical role within Cotiviti’s Design-Driven Development (DDD) team, responsible for shaping product direction through discovery, design, and strategic collaboration. This role goes beyond executional UX/UI work and serves as a design and product partner to Product Management and Engineering—helping define the right problems to solve, validating solutions early, and enabling teams to build high-quality, customer-centered products with confidence.
Operating within a DDD model, this designer will front-load discovery, reduce delivery risk, and ensure design intent is clearly communicated and development-ready before and during build. The ideal candidate brings strong UX/UI craft, product design rigor, and product strategy thinking, with the ability to balance user needs, business goals, and technical constraints in a complex, regulated domain.

Requirements

• BA/BS or MA/MS in Graphic Design, Interaction Design, Human Computer Interface Design, Visual Arts, Product Design, or equivalent program required.
• 7–10 years of experience designing user experiences for mobile and web apps, or experience in visual or interaction design.
• Must have portfolio of design projects demonstrating product thinking from problem definition through validated, build-ready solutions.
• Expertise at capturing the essence of usability issues and product-level challenges and clearly communicating them with non-technical audiences.
• Good time management skills with the ability to manage multiple initiatives at different stages of discovery and delivery.
• Strong abilities in sketching, mocking up, and evaluating interaction design.
• Experience collaborating closely with Product and Engineering partners in agile or SAFe environments (e.g., sprint planning, PI planning, refinement).
• Ability to multitask in a fast-paced, agile environment.
• Critical Thinking: Ability to think critically and evaluate information objectively, considering different perspectives and potential implications before drawing conclusions or making recommendations.
• Attention to Detail: must have a keen eye for detail to ensure accuracy in data analysis, interpretation, and reporting.
• Quantitative Aptitude: Strong numerical skills are essential for conducting quantitative analysis, working with statistical methods and models, and manipulating data using mathematical operations.
• Data Interpretation: skilled in interpreting data visualizations, charts, graphs, and other forms of data presentation to extract meaningful insights and communicate findings effectively.
• Communication Skills: Effective communication skills are crucial for conveying complex technical concepts and insights to non-technical stakeholders clearly and understandably through written reports, presentations, and verbal discussions.
• Curiosity and Learning Agility: A strong desire to learn and explore new methodologies, techniques, and tools in the field of data analysis and insights generation is essential for staying current with industry trends and best practices.
• Resilience: The ability to handle pressure, adapt to changing priorities, and overcome setbacks is important in a fast-paced and sometimes ambiguous analytical environment.
• Ethical and Integrity: Upholding ethical standards and maintaining integrity in handling sensitive data and information is paramount for building trust and credibility in the insights provided.
• Remaining in a stationary position, often standing or sitting for prolonged periods.
• Repeating motions that may include the wrists, hands and/or fingers.
• Must be able to provide a dedicated, secure work area.
• be able to provide high-speed internet access / connectivity and office setup and maintenance.
