About the Role
Sage is a small, tight team of ambitious, multi-disciplinary entrepreneurs. We are a software-enabled, mission-driven company focused on solving problems central to improving care for older adults in senior living facilities. As a Senior Product Designer at Sage, you will drive the strategy and execution of end-to-end experiences for Senior Living. You’ll shape the product vision, advocate for users, and deliver elegant, intuitive solutions that improve care delivery. As a senior member of the team, you’ll own complex projects, mentor designers, and collaborate cross-functionally with product, engineering, analytics, and implementation teams to bring impactful experiences to life. Reporting to the Head of Design, you’ll influence our design culture, scale our design system, and refine user-centered processes as we grow.

Work cross-functionally with product managers, engineers, and stakeholders to define product strategies, influence roadmaps, and shape the future of our platform.
Effectively communicate design rationale, user research insights, and product vision to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Mentor and provide constructive feedback to other designers, fostering a culture of continuous learning and excellence.
