GoHealth Intro: As a leading health insurance marketplace, GoHealth’s mission is to improve access to healthcare in America. For customers, enrolling in a health insurance plan is confusing and difficult, and seemingly small differences between plans can lead to significant out-of-pocket costs or lack of access to critical medicines and even providers. We use our technology, agents, and expertise to cut through the confusion and get customers enrolled in a plan with the right coverage and benefits.

Why Apply: GoHealth has established a culture where our employees feel empowered, engaged and inspired. We are looking for builders who will contribute to the long-term health of the company. We also understand that you may not check every box in our requirements list, most applicants don’t! In fact, frequently cited statistics show that women and underrepresented groups apply to jobs only if they meet 100% of the qualifications. GoHealth encourages you to break that statistic and to apply today!

About the Role: GoHealth builds industry-leading technology products that help millions of Americans find the insurance coverage that they need. As part of the UX team here at GoHealth, you will be directly involved in making an impact on those millions of end users. The Senior UX Designer position will help drive User Experience for all of the GoHealth product offerings. You will be conducting user research, creating user personas / scenarios, wireframes, functional prototypes with annotations, and translating wireframes into visual design concepts that will be brought to life.

What you'll do: The Senior User Experience Designer will significantly influence the final product by working in close collaboration with the product management and development teams throughout the design lifecycle. Presenting ideas, gathering feedback and iterating towards product solutions that will help make the insurance purchase process better and easier for our users. You should have an understanding of design best practices on both Desktop and Mobile and an ability to clearly communicate them during product reviews and feedback sessions. You will drive all the phases of the design thinking process and play a key role in determining how, why and for who a product is built. This role will report into the product organization and report directly to the Director of User Experience.
