What are the responsibilities and job description for the Product Designer (Senior/Staff) position at Nourish?
About Us
Nourish is on a mission to improve people’s health by making it easy to eat well. Nutrition-related chronic disease is the largest and most overlooked crisis in the world. Food can be medicine: working with a Registered Dietitian is one of the most effective interventions available, but <1% of eligible Americans use their covered benefits.
Nourish is building an AI-native, patient-friendly healthcare system centered on nutrition that improves outcomes, lowers costs, and helps people live healthier, longer lives. We launched three years ago, are live in all 50 states, and already have thousands of dietitians and hundreds of thousands of patients on the platform.
We are growing quickly, have partnered with national health insurance companies and provider groups, and have raised $115M from top-tier VCs including JP Morgan Growth Equity, Thrive Capital, Index Ventures, Y Combinator, Maverick Ventures, Box Group, Atomico, G Squared, and Pinegrove Venture Partners. Our angel investors include world-class healthcare founders from Oscar, Rightway Health, Headway, Spring Health, and Alto Pharmacy, as well as soccer star Alex Morgan and the founders from Olipop and Notion.

About The Role
At Nourish, we see design not just as a function, but as a strategic advantage—core to how we differentiate in a crowded, high-stakes space. We’re looking for a Senior or Staff Product Designer to take ownership of one of our most critical product areas, our patient experience, to help shape the future of healthcare delivery through deeply human, AI-augmented experiences.
This isn’t a role where design is downstream. You’ll be a key thought partner to product, engineering, and company leadership—including regular collaboration with our founders and executive team. You’ll help define the roadmap, set the vision, and lead the design process end to end, from strategy and systems to hands-on execution.
We’re looking for someone who thrives on autonomy and loves high ownership. You’ll be expected to independently drive initiatives with large surface areas and deliver high-impact work across the user journey. You’ll also help elevate our design practice as we grow—whether by mentoring others, building design systems, or influencing how we work.
We value high craft—from polished UI to robust prototyping, we believe thoughtful, well-executed design creates trust and drives better outcomes. You’ll be encouraged to prototype early and often to explore ideas, validate assumptions, and communicate your vision with clarity and precision.
We’re still early, but growing fast, and your work will have direct, visible impact on the company’s trajectory. We’ve recently closed our Series B and are doubling down on our investment in design as a lever for scale, retention, and user delight.
This role is full-time and open to NYC-based candidates only (expectation to work in-person 3-4 days per week, with some remote flexibility). Our office is in the heart of Union Square.

Key Responsibilities
- Own and lead the design of core product experiences. You’ll be responsible for shaping how patients and providers engage with Nourish across web and mobile platforms. From iterating on foundational features to driving net-new product areas, you’ll set the standard for quality and clarity in our user experience.
- Drive user research and discovery at a strategic level. You’ll lead qualitative research efforts—planning and conducting interviews, running surveys, and building prototypes to validate ideas and guide the product roadmap. You’ll influence what we build just as much as how we build it.
- Evolve and scale our design system. You’ll elevate the systems that allow us to move fast without compromising quality. This means partnering closely with engineering to maintain a robust, accessible component library—and championing consistency, scalability, and thoughtful constraints across the product.
- Shape and strengthen our design culture. You’ll play a key role in building a high-trust, high-craft design org from the ground up. This includes mentoring teammates, contributing to rituals and process, and setting a high bar for thoughtfulness and attention to detail. We aim to be known for the polish and care we put into every part of the experience.
- You have 5 years experience designing compelling digital products.
- You have 3 years experience designing consumer products, including both mobile and web.
- You are obsessed with your customers and craft. You care deeply about understanding our users and building a truly delightful and impactful experience for them. You have an excellent understanding of foundational design principles and how to apply them.
- You do your own stunts. No task is below you, and you’re willing to step in to fill the gaps between teams to get the job done, whether it’s performing qualitative research, helping prepare pitch decks, or improving our website.
- You are a builder. You love building and shipping new features and can take a project from 0 to 1, and then iterate to continuously improve.
