Lead Product Designer (100% remote-friendly within Poland)

Company Description

Welcome to the good side of tech 👋

You might have heard about us, but with a different name: ZnanyLekarz. It all started 10 years ago, when we asked ourselves: is anyone in healthcare thinking about patients? We jumped in and we empowered patients by giving them access to leave and read reviews about their visit. We then provided doctors with the technology to manage bookings easily and save time, so they could devote themselves to what they always wanted: treating patients. And today is the day in which we ask you: wanna join us in the next step of making the healthcare experience more human?

Docplanner at scale

We are leaders in 13 countries so far, and more than 90 million patients trust us every month. 300.000 specialists, 2 mln bookings per month believe in us and our product, and so do leading venture capital funds such as Point Nine Capital, Goldman Sachs Asset Management and One Peak Partners. And yet, employing over 2.500 people all over the globe, we managed to keep the startup-mindset we started with over 10 years ago.

How does Docplanner Tech fit here?

At Docplanner Tech we are a diverse group of over 400 people working in Engineering, Data, and Product teams. We are responsible for building the product for all locations. Many of us have been here for over 5 years, yet we still welcome each new person with great joy and excitement.

We could tell you about us, but we will let our reviews on Glassdoor speak for themselves. In case you’d like to see how it feels to be 100% yourself at work, here’s a video of us. 

And why should you join us?

Because it feels good to tell your family and your friends how you made the world a little bit better. You go to bed knowing that what you do matters, and that your talents align with your beliefs.

We want to make the healthcare experience more human, and that starts with you being you. We believe that taking the diversity of human experience into account makes a better healthcare experience for all . We’re not just different: we embrace diversity. We will encourage you to come to work your whole self, and that includes not coming to the office at all if you prefer not to, as we're 100% remote friendly.

Job Description

And why you?

As a Lead Product Designer, your expertise in delivering high-quality work will help us create a seamless experience for patients, doctors, and clinics using our products. You'll have the opportunity to make a direct impact on both product decisions and the overall roadmap. Your role will be crucial in simplifying complex systems, and you'll be involved in every step of the process—from defining the product vision to collaborating with Product Managers, Content Designers, Engineering Leads, and Researchers. You'll prototype and scale products that are used by millions of patients every day, ensuring a seamless and impactful user experience. Working alongside a talented team of over 20 Product and Content Designers, you'll contribute to creating intuitive, efficient, and innovative solutions that meet the needs of our users.

You'll be part of the Payments Squad, working within the Practice Management and Efficiency Product Area, where your design leadership will help doctors and clinics provide better care by enhancing our SaaS tools and the doctor's mobile application. The Payments Squad is dedicated to creating a seamless and efficient payment system across our healthcare platforms. By streamlining the payment process, we enable doctors and healthcare providers to focus on patient care rather than administrative tasks. Our team leverages advanced technologies to develop secure, user-friendly solutions that reduce friction in payment workflows, minimize administrative burdens, and ensure timely transactions for both patients and providers. This work is critical to improving operational efficiency, allowing healthcare professionals to dedicate more time to their patients.
