Senior Product Designer
Who We Are
Nava is on a mission to #fixhealthcare. Nearly 160M Americans rely on their employers for healthcare — yet the system is broken, bloated, and dominated by incumbents who resist change. Nava fuses deep benefits expertise with cutting-edge technology to deliver a modern, transparent, and affordable healthcare experience.
Founded by seasoned entrepreneurs and backed by leading investors, Nava is one of the fastest-growing benefits brokerages in the country. We’re the first to combine brokerage know-how with proprietary tech like HQ: our AI-powered benefits platform, designed to help HR teams take control of renewals, simplify strategy, eliminate spreadsheet chaos, and empower employees to navigate their benefits with ease.
In a $50B industry hungry for change, Nava is built to win — lowering costs for employers, delighting employees, and reshaping how healthcare works for millions of Americans.
Why This Role Matters
We’re looking for a Senior Product Designer to own the user experience of Nava’s product suite. This isn’t just another design job. Nava has gone from zero to one, and now we’re building AI-first, AI-native experiences that redefine how people access and understand their healthcare. We work smarter with leading-edge tools and radical collaboration — so we don’t need a large design team. That means you’ll be one of the few with real ownership, impact, and acclaim. You’ll shape our platform, our craft, and our experience for thousands of employers and millions of employees.
Nava is fully remote, but it’s a plus if you’re local to NYC and able to join our PED team for coworking opportunities on occasion.
🧠 Key Responsibilities:
Own design for a core product area from discovery through delivery.
Design AI-first experiences that feel intuitive, human, and powerful.
Partner with PMs, engineers, and benefits experts to simplify complex healthcare problems.
Translate research into flows, interfaces, and patterns that scale across web + mobile.
Advance our design system with coherent, aesthetic, and usable patterns.
Leverage AI tools to accelerate research, exploration, iteration, and production.
Contribute to a culture of user advocacy, thoughtful craft, and continuous improvement.
🖊️ Preferred Experience:
Senior-level designer with experience owning end-to-end product design.
Strong in research, synthesis, and storytelling.
Skilled in interaction design, visual systems, and prototyping.
AI-forward mindset, already experimenting with new tools and eager to design AI-native experiences.
Brings taste and craft to details that make an experience exceptional.
Scrappy, creative, and energized by ownership.
Collaborative and open, with a drive to make healthcare better for real people.
☄️ What You’ll Get
A rare chance to shape the future of healthcare with a mission-driven, high-growth company.
A tight, ambitious team where your work is celebrated and felt immediately.
The freedom and tools to do the best work of your career.
Working at Nava
As a remote-first company, Nava is committed to building a dynamic and inclusive culture where you have the autonomy to thrive. You’ll be supported by cutting-edge technology, a collaborative team, and a shared mission to revolutionize healthcare.

Candidates from all backgrounds are encouraged to apply. We believe that solving America's healthcare problem requires leveraging America's greatest strength: our diversity. Healthcare affects everyone – and a team that includes people from all backgrounds and walks of life will be more effective at driving change than a homogeneous one. We are excited to build that kind of team at Nava.
