Your Portfolio

• Resume and portfolio should demonstrate experience leading complex, cross-functional product work, including examples of strategic thinking, facilitation, and shipped outcomes, not just visual design artifacts.

Required Job Qualifications | What We're Looking For

• Experience leading UX in complex, ambiguous product environments
• Strong facilitation skills with a track record of driving alignment and decisions
• Ability to influence cross-functional partners without formal authority
• History of impactful, user-centered product experiences
• Strong product thinking and business awareness
• Comfort operating as a player-coach

Preferred

• Experience in healthcare, education, or other regulated industries
• Familiarity with accessibility and inclusive design practices
• Experience contributing to AI-enabled or emerging technology experiences

• Working knowledge of WCAG accessibility standards
• Proficiency with Figma and current Figma best practices (auto-layout, local-components, selection, etc.)
• Adobe Creative Suite familiarity a plus
• Understanding of agile development and complex, cross-functional delivery
• Foundational knowledge of HTML5 and CSS3 to support effective collaboration with Engineering
• Experience or working knowledge in the AI space, including designing or partnering on AI‑enabled experiences and understanding implications for usability, trust, and workflow integration

What Success Looks Like

• UX is engaged earlier and more consistently in product discovery
• PreVis and visioning workshops drive alignment and momentum
• Accessibility and usability are considered early, not retrofitted
• UX helps shape responsible, effective AI-enabled experiences
• UX is viewed as a vital strategic product partner, not a downstream service

What You'll Do

Strategy, Discovery, and Alignment

• Own UX strategy for key Nursing initiatives across education and practice portfolios
• Use iterative discovery and experimentation to reduce product risk by validating value, business viability, usability, and feasibility early and continuously
• Frame complex or competing inputs into clear problem statements and opportunity areas
• Initiate and lead PreVis / visioning workshops to align teams on future-state experiences and priorities
• Bring UX into the earliest stages of product thinking, shaping problems before solutions are defined
• Partner closely with Product, Engineering, and AI teams to ensure feasibility, quality, and follow-through
• Collaborate closely with UX Research to ensure that insights guide strategic decisions and direction, and that proposed solutions are thoroughly validated

Delivery and Execution

• Guide work from strategy through execution, including concepts, roadmaps, and shipped experiences
• Stay hands-on when needed, particularly during early discovery or high-ambiguity initiatives

Systems, Accessibility, and Emerging AI

• Design across end-to-end journeys, workflows, and platforms
• Embed accessibility (WCAG) into UX thinking and delivery from the start
• Reinforce consistent UX patterns and experience quality across the Nursing and broader Health ecosystem
• Help shape agentic and AI-enabled experiences that are usable, trustworthy, and grounded in real nursing workflows

Team Leadership and Growth

• Lead and develop UX designers, setting clear expectations and providing ongoing coaching
• Evolve team structure and engagement models as the business scales
• Manage day-to-day resourcing, including oversight of contractors and external partners
• Demonstrate responsible stewardship of allocated resources and delivery commitments
• Foster a collaborative, outcomes-oriented UX culture

Leadership, Influence, and Change

• Act as a change agent, increasing UX maturity across partners and teams
• Influence without authority through credibility, clarity, and strong facilitation
• Represent UX effectively in cross-functional and leadership forums
