Foundry is Simplyhealth’s venture incubator and strategic business development unit, investing millions into new healthcare businesses to accelerate the move towards predictive and preventative care. We bring strategy and execution together — identifying opportunities, validating them quickly, and scaling the ideas that show real promise.

We’re looking for a Senior Product Designer to shape end‑to‑end product experiences for new ventures, from early discovery through to launch and beyond. This is a senior, hands‑on design role operating at the messy front end of innovation, where learning fast matters more than perfection.

Reporting to the Head of Foundry, you’ll work embedded in small product squads, leading design for validation efforts that either prove or disprove new business opportunities. You’ll move quickly between low‑fidelity exploration and polished, build‑ready designs, always focusing on what needs to be learned next.

This is a broad design role. Product and interaction design sit at the core, but you’ll also contribute to visual identity, UI quality and motion design as ventures take shape. You’ll collaborate closely with product, engineering and research, ensuring design decisions balance user needs, technical feasibility and commercial constraints.

Healthcare and financial services present complex regulatory and technical challenges. You’ll work within those constraints pragmatically, creating elegant solutions that stand up to real‑world demands without suffocating innovation.

About You

This role will suit an experienced product designer who enjoys ownership, pace and ambiguity. You’re likely to bring:

A strong portfolio demonstrating end‑to‑end product design, particularly 0–1 or early‑stage work
Excellent interaction and UI design skills, with a high bar for visual quality
Experience designing and testing concepts at varying levels of fidelity
Strong product thinking, balancing user needs with business and technical considerations
Motion design skills to enhance interaction and usability through animation and micro‑interactions
Experience working on complex or regulated products (healthcare, fintech or similar) is advantageous but not essential
Confidence working autonomously while collaborating closely within multidisciplinary teams
The ability to clearly explain and defend design decisions using evidence and insight
Above all, you’ll be motivated by designing products that genuinely improve people’s experiences — and by helping teams learn quickly what works and what doesn’t.

We’re committed to a fair, inclusive and transparent recruitment process. The journey will include:
