　　Job Description :

　　JOB SUMMARY

　　This job is part of the Product and Health Experience team in the Experience Research + Design Practice and will develop concepts for experiences that will positively impact customers and clinicians in physical and digital environments. Our team exists to gain a deep understanding of the human behaviors, challenges, needs, and unmet needs of those providing, supporting, and receiving care. We use that understanding to lead cross-functional, participatory co-design experiences that generate concepts, experiences, tools, delivery models, and care models, looking three to five years into the future, to transform how people experience health and healthcare.

　　The candidate will be comfortable with ambiguity and apply their experience in Human-Centered Design, Experience Design, and/or Service Design to create products, solutions, and experiences that will deliver measurable impact. They will also support defining and deploying design methods, processes, and tools to fuel our work across engagements with the Population and Curated Health, Customer Experience, Clinician Experience, and other workstreams.

　　The incumbent will support shaping ideal customer experiences by deeply understanding the customer journey across multiple touchpoints. They will support customer-centric design with the ability to craft compelling customer narratives to build empathy and evoke action amongst partners.

　　The Senior Experience Designer will support and collaborate with Lead Designers and Strategists as well as Design Practice leaders, Business Stakeholders, Portfolio Leads, and matrixed teams—supporting the translating goals, defining timelines, seeking feedback, and articulating insights into actions that push the delivery of experience and solution designs forward. They will deeply commit to designing the right experiences, products, and experiences for our customers and clinicians. The candidate will have experience working within end-to-end human-centered programs and projects with experience in discovery, research, interviewing, problem framing, articulating insights and opportunity areas, concept development, and prototyping.

　　The Senior Experience Designer will be equipped with a versatile set of tools and technical skills, emphasizing a comprehensive approach to human-centered design.

　　Although the Research + Design Practice uses a human-centered design approach, the role will not focus on user experience (UX) design or interaction design (UI). Stated differently, this is not a UX role. The incumbent will design ideal customer experiences through human-centered research activities, ideation, concept development, and concept validation. Within this role, there is a greater focus on framing problems and conceptually solving them, often influencing Build/Buy/Partner decisions rather than design specs for a software developing team.

　　The Senior Experience Designer will support the Customer Experience (CX) domain. They will work with other designers and strategists, focusing on framing and solving meaningful problems for patients and insurance members while considering those who provide care and support. Said differently, our team is passionate about transforming the healthcare and member experience, however healthcare of health insurance experience is not required for success.
