Senior Product Designer

Intro to Folia

What Matters Most to Patients, Matters Most To Research.

Nell and Dan founded Folia Health upon realizing there wasn't a place for patients to capture their day-to-day needs and opinions in a structured, actionable format—or a method to share them with providers and researchers securely. Having loved ones living with complex, chronic conditions, Nell and Dan sought to bridge this gap and put the real experts in control. Home-reported outcomes (HROs) digitize the vast personal health knowledge that lives in patients' heads, ultimately enhancing clinical development and commercial success.

Folia (‘foglia’ is leaf in Italian), is reminiscent of budding curiosity, flourishing studies, and bountiful health. Think of Folia as a tree, in which each individual leaf contributes to the whole. We leverage individual input to create a stronger healthcare system.

Join our team of passionate, mission-driven experts in delivering HROs and deep analyses for pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies to accelerate growth in research and for clinicians to provide better care.

We are: 

• Female-founded

• Stubbornly focused on making healthcare make sense

• 7 years in business

• Backed by top venture funds with a strong financial runway

• Fast-growing user community with thousands of users in rare conditions

Folia Health is seeking a talented and mission-driven Senior Product Designer to join our growing team. This role is perfect for someone passionate about user experience, solving real frustrations of patients and caregivers, and improving lives through research-driven healthcare.

In this role, you will be responsible for designing exceptional user experiences for the Folia Health mobile app, as well as some web-based solutions for users and clients. You will be responsible for working with our Product & Research to understand the requirements and value behind features, designing features in Figma, iterating based on feedback and user testing, and ultimately working with Engineering to implement designs & ensure simplicity. You will also have latitude to design and execute user research and user testing before we build, along with support from Product & Operations here.

You will be the only designer on the team, so working as a sole designer alongside Product & Engineering shouldn’t faze you. Long term, this role may offer the opportunity to grow into a director overseeing a team of designers as we scale, but that depends on our hiring needs.

What you’ll do:

• Own and drive end-to-end design work across key product initiatives — from discovery through delivery and iteration
  
  
• Partner closely with Product, Engineering, and Research to shape product strategy and define user-centered solutions
  
  
• Lead design sprints, workshops, and collaborative problem-solving sessions to help align Product & Engineering around user needs
  
  
• Create high-fidelity prototypes, flows, and interface designs that are both elegant and highly functional
  
  
• Consider qualitative and quantitative data from Operations & user testing feedback to validate design decisions and inform product improvements
  
  
• Elevate the quality of visual and interaction design across the product, championing craft and consistency
  
  
• Collaborate with Engineering to ensure smooth handoff and implementation fidelity, and work to develop design systems over time
  
  
• Contribute to a healthy design culture through critique, documentation, and knowledge sharing

You are:

• Someone with 3+ years as a product designer in a fast-paced environment 
• Motivated by making healthcare easier for people living with complex conditions
• A person with exemplary oral and written communication skills
• Someone with exceptional taste and the ability to design quickly without sacrificing quality
• A good listener who loves finding simple solutions to complex problems
• Someone who is comfortable operating in Figma and working as a sole designer
• Curious to acquire a strong knowledge of our product and user pain points to design effectively
