Senior Product Designer, Search Results

Own patient search results design at Headway, with a focus on conversion-critical experiences and provider discovery.

Responsibilities

Lead design for the patient search results experience, including results tiering , provider cards , match explanations , filters and sort , plus sparse and empty states that may reduce care intent

Design and run sustained experiments on a conversion-critical surface: define the hypothesis, create variants, review results, and decide the next iteration

Collaborate on how style and experience signals are expressed to patients, partnering with the Ranking team on signals and the Profiles team on where they lead

Develop a point of view on how search results should evolve, then translate it into shippable increments with PM and EM

Work with research and data to understand why patients hesitate; run research when needed, and design for patients who do not know what they want yet

Raise the craft bar on one of Headway’s highest-traffic patient surfaces and evolve the design system where it does not yet meet needs

Prototype in code and AI tools so the team can react to realistic outputs rather than static mockups

Requirements

5-8 years of experience designing consumer products with end-to-end ownership of a live surface used daily

Portfolio demonstrating mature, shipped craft on dense, information-heavy interfaces

Experience iterating on a conversion-critical surface over months, with clear reflection on what failed and what worked

Comfort with numbers: able to name what to measure and what the measurement might miss

Strong judgment on reducing choice: comfort removing elements when the core problem is too much choice

Partner effectively with PM and engineering as peers; share work before it is finished; remain effective under pressure without getting brittle

AI tools already part of your workflow, with experience explaining where they helped, where they were wrong, and what you overrode

Experience with marketplaces, search, discovery surfaces, or healthcare is a bonus

Team & Role Details

Design the patient search results page and provider cards, including tiering, card messaging and ordering, and the way match explanations justify selection

Handle scenarios where there are only two options instead of forty

Work within the Patient Onboarding pod with a Staff Product Designer, PM, engineering manager, and researcher, plus close collaboration with the team that computes provider relevance

Pod runs live experiments continuously , enabling visibility into patient responses within days

Expected to iterate on a shipped surface for weeks at a time rather than designing once and handing off

Design team is AI-first
