Senior Product Designer

Sage is on a mission to improve the quality of life for older adults by building modern software and wearable experiences that enable seniors to safely age in place. We’re a tight-knit, interdisciplinary team passionate about solving real problems with elegant, user-centered design and technology.

As a Senior Product Designer you will help lead the design evolution of our Care app. This is a high-impact, hands-on design role where you'll shape how this product grows and provides deeply valuable experience for seniors and caregivers.

You will be responsible for driving end-to-end design, from research and early concepting to high-fidelity visuals and prototypes ready for development. You'll work closely with Product, Engineering, Analytics, and Implementation, and report to the Head of Design.

This role is individual contributor focused with strong influence on product direction, requiring strategic thinking, high craft, and a research-driven approach to design.

What you’ll do

• Lead the full design lifecycle for the Care app Product, from discovery and research through prototype validation and final design execution
• Conduct and synthesize qualitative and quantitative research, interview users, and translate insights into design decisions that improve usability, accessibility, and delight
• Create wireframes, high-fidelity visual designs, and interactive prototypes that demonstrate both strong visual design sensibility and thoughtful interaction design
• Collaborate deeply with cross-functional partners—Product, Engineering, Analytics, Implementation—to define product strategy and align on design outcomes
• Champion inclusive and accessible design tailored to the unique needs of seniors and caregivers
• Evangelize design thinking and research insights across the organization to inform prioritization and roadmap decisions
• Contribute to the evolution of our design system and UX patterns to ensure consistency and scalability
• Communicate design decisions clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders

What we’re looking for

• 5+ years of product design experience, with a portfolio that highlights strong visual and interaction design skills as well as thoughtful problem-solving. Please include your portfolio and password in your submission
• Experience owning design outcomes end-to-end and influencing product direction
• Mastery of design tools (e.g., Figma) and an eye for detail and craft
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to articulate rationale behind design decisions
• Comfortable working in an ambiguous, fast-moving startup environment where design impacts product strategy
• Passion for designing for real people and meaningful impact (healthcare/senior care experience is a plus)
• Willing and able to travel domestically for customer visits.

Why you’ll love this role

• You’ll have meaningful ownership of a product early in its lifecycle
• You’ll work with a research-heavy, collaborative team that values empathy and learning
• Opportunity to help define design processes and best practices as the product and team grow

Preferred Qualifications

• A degree in HCI, Design, or a related field
• Experience in a startup environment.
