Senior Design Technologist Lead
Company Description
Today, when you go to your doctor and get referred to a specialist, your doctor sends out a referral and tells you, “They’ll be in touch soon.” So you wait. And wait. Sometimes days, weeks, or even months. Why? Because too often providers are overwhelmed with the painstakingly tedious work required to get paid by insurance companies. Powered by proprietary models, Tennr handles the complex paperwork that gets patients through the door and providers paid, helping operators to capture more referrals, cut denials, and reduce care delays.
Role Description
For as large of a sector as it is (17.3% of US GDP), healthcare has some of the ugliest design we’ve ever seen. It makes sense… high regulation, little incentive… but what if it didn’t have to be that way?
Part of our company mission to bring healthcare into the information age means completely redefining the design standards for all the healthtech companies that follow. We pride ourselves on putting out genuinely category-setting creative work — just check out our ad campaign Faxing Isn’t the Problem.
This is a highly autonomous role with real influence. We have the foundations of our visual identity, but there’s significant room for it to grow & expand. Our founder-led buy-in for unique brand moments means that your work won’t be limited to just social assets — past projects have included an installation for the media wall at Lincoln Center, custom-fabricated wood-and-steel trophies, and a visual identity for a Circus-themed event.
We’re looking for a brand designer with strong technical instincts—someone who thinks in systems, cares deeply about craft, and is comfortable using code as part of their design toolkit. You’ll own and evolve Tennr’s brand identity while also playing a hands-on role in designing our website and digital brand surfaces.
Responsibilities
Own and evolve Tennr’s brand system, ensuring consistency while pushing it forward with confidence and taste
Own art direction and help Tennr develop an opinionated, recognizable visual voice in a sea of generic SaaS
Design and build updates to Tennr’s marketing website
Design across a wide range of surfaces: product marketing, sales & customer-facing materials, ad campaigns, web, swag, social, event booths, and experimental brand moments
Lead visual direction for launches, campaigns, and new initiatives—from concept through execution
Collaborate with freelancers, contractors, and niche specialists when work falls outside your core skill set
Qualifications
4–7+ years of experience in design or creative technology (in-house, agency, or a mix)
A portfolio that demonstrates strong taste, storytelling, and systems thinking across digital, print, and/or campaigns
Working knowledge of HTML, CSS, and modern web frameworks (React or similar), or equivalent experience collaborating very closely with engineers
Deep understanding of typography, layout, color, and composition
Proficiency with Figma and/or the Adobe Creative Suite
Comfort working with limited structure and a high degree of ownership
Strong communication skills and experience receiving & giving creative feedback
Ability to balance craft with speed in a fast-moving startup environment
Bonus Points
Experience with motion, video, illustration, or other specialist skillsets
A strong freelance or vendor network
