Director, Product Design and UX
Job Description
About Us
At Prenuvo, we are on a mission to flip the paradigm from reactive “sick-care” to proactive health care. Our award-winning whole body scan is fast (under 1 hour), safe (MRI has no ionizing radiation), and non-invasive (no contrast). Our unique integrated stack of optimized hardware, software, and increasingly AI, coupled with the patient-centric experience across our domestic and global clinics, have allowed us to lead the change against “we caught it too late again".
We’re seeking a strategic and visionary Director of Product Design and UX to lead and scale our User Experience function. This role is ideal for a seasoned design leader with a deep understanding of UX strategy, systems thinking, and human-centered design — especially within the context of HealthTech or MedTech and with an eye towards consumer experience.
We’re building fast, and we need someone who thrives in a dynamic, startup environment — someone who’s proactive, flexible, comfortable with ambiguity, and energized by the opportunity to build from scratch. You’ll drive UX standards, processes, and policies, mentor a growing team, and help shape product experiences that make a real difference in people’s health and lives.
Help reshape the world through proactive healthcare while working with cutting-edge technology and high performing teams with deep expertise - join us to make a difference in people’s lives!
What You’ll Do:
Strategic Leadership
- Define and drive the UX vision and strategy across the product portfolio
- Develop and implement scalable UX processes, frameworks, and governance policies
- Champion a user-centered culture across product and engineering
Team Management & Development
- Lead, mentor, and help grow a multidisciplinary UX team
- Set performance standards and career growth plans for team members
- Create a high-performing, collaborative, and inclusive design environment
Experience Design
- Establish and maintain design systems and accessibility standards
- Oversee end-to-end UX efforts, from discovery and research through execution
- Ensure cohesive product experiences across web and mobile platforms
- Drive design performance and effectiveness based on data and strategic KPIs
Collaboration & Execution
- Work closely with product managers, engineers, and various stakeholders to align priorities and resources
- Translate complex healthcare workflows and data into elegant user experiences
- Use metrics and user insights to measure design impact and iterate
- You’ll also be envisioning and designing individual solutions and creating documentation and deliverables for specific products as needed
What You’ll Bring
- 10+ years of UX/UI design experience with at least 3–5 years in a leadership role
- Proven track record of building UX functions, policies, and scalable design systems
- Expertise in UX research, product design, and user testing methodologies
- Mastery of modern UX tools (e.g., Figma, Sketch, Adobe CC, etc.)
- Strong understanding of accessibility, usability heuristics, and WCAG standards
- Experience in regulated industries (preferably HealthTech or MedTech)
- Experience in design products that are direct to consumer
- Experience in mobile application design across platforms
- An understanding of user research and testing techniques and an ability to drive change and design decisions based on those insights
- Excellent communication, storytelling, and cross-functional leadership skills
- Startup or high-growth experience strongly preferred — you’re used to building fast, wearing multiple hats and rapid iteration
