Senior Product Designer

About Take Command

Take Command is a start-up on a mission to improve the healthcare system, starting with health insurance. Pragmatically speaking, we help employers reimburse employees for individual insurance instead of offering a traditional one-size-fits-all group plan. We believe this model can empower employees (when they have the right support) to be savvy healthcare consumers and have a transformative impact on the entire healthcare system.

Let’s be honest—health insurance is usually a confusing, frustrating, and even emotional experience for people. We want to fix that with a new model, great technology, and a superior user experience. We have made a great start, but we need your help to fully realize our long-term vision.

About the Role

We are seeking a talented leader in Product Design to lead highly ambiguous, cross-functional initiatives and turn complex customer and business needs into clear, thoughtful product experiences. Partnering closely with product, engineering, research, and other stakeholders, you will help shape product strategy and deliver intuitive, accessible, and user-friendly solutions from discovery through launch. This role requires a deep understanding of user-centered design, strong attention to detail, and the ability to balance user needs, business objectives, and technical constraints while raising the quality and effectiveness of design across the organization.

What you’ll do

• Lead end-to-end design, including discovery, research, interaction design, prototyping, validation, and implementation

• Translate customer insights, business goals, and technical constraints into intuitive product experiences

• Partner with product and engineering to define problems, evaluate tradeoffs, and deliver measurable outcomes

• Contribute to and evolve our design system and product-quality standards

• Clearly communicate design rationale and build alignment across teams

• Shape broader product strategy, lead work spanning multiple teams, mentoring through influence and example

What we’re looking for

• A strong portfolio demonstrating systems thinking, product judgment, interaction design, and shipped outcomes

• Experience independently leading complex product initiatives

• Strong collaboration, facilitation, and communication skills

• Ability to navigate ambiguity, incorporate feedback, and balance customer, business, and technical considerations

• Commitment to accessible, inclusive, and high-quality experiences

• Experience using AI-assisted workflows to accelerate research synthesis, exploration, prototyping, UX writing, or design-to-code delivery

Nice to have

• Using tools such as Claude Artifacts, Claude Code, Cursor, v0, or similar

• Technical fluency with modern front-end development, including React, HTML/CSS, component libraries, design tokens, and design systems in code

• Ability to build working prototypes, collaborate directly in a codebase, or meaningfully review front-end implementation

Compensation

• $XXX,XXX + XX% bonus (IC3/4)

• We believe employees should be compensated fairly based on the market in which they live and work. Using geographic market data helps us maintain competitive pay, support internal equity, and ensure a consistent approach to compensation decisions across the company.

Working at Take Command

We’re excited to build a team and culture that reflects our values! We offer competitive pay and health benefits to share with this position.

• A generously funded ICHRA for medical, dental, and vision premiums and medical expenses. You get to use our own product and we think that’s so exciting and rare!
• Unlimited personal vacation in addition to regular company holidays.
• 401(k): 90-day eligibility for 4% match that vests over 4 years with a one year cliff!
• We have two beautiful offices in Richardson, Texas (City Line) and Austin, Texas. The kitchen is well-stocked and we've designed the space to have lots of different areas to work--lounge on the couch, stand near your colleague at a kiosk desk or hole up in one of our phone rooms!
• Competitive parental leave for new parents.
• Up to two paid days of Paw-ternity leave. We recognize that pets are family too - and supporting life outside of work (including four-legged members) matters!
• ClassPass corporate membership with access to over 73,000 fitness and wellness options.
• Flexible on where you work – we believe in the power of connecting with intention! While we hope to see you around the office on a regular basis, you also have the ability to work from home some when you need to get focus work done.

More About Us

We secured our Series B funding in 2023 and are thrilled to be able to expand our team. Despite being a small startup in a land of health insurance giants, we’re the recognized industry leader for what we do (health insurance reimbursements) and passionate about bringing it to market because we know we can help fix a broken system and improve our clients’ wellbeing and health outcomes. We’ve been featured in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Dallas Morning News, and other national healthcare publications and are excited about our growth opportunities.

Take Command knows diversity and inclusion among our teammates is integral to our company’s success and growth. Our vision is to recruit, develop, and retain the best team from a diverse candidate pool. This has mostly been about us, but we’d love to hear from you--we can’t wait to hear your story! 

*Take Command is an equal opportunity employer! We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.
