Build something monumental for Healthcare!

At Tandem Health we’re reimagining healthcare by putting clinicians first. Our platform - designed by clinicians, for clinicians - is built on deep insight into real-world pain points, with intuitive medical notes and workflows that truly support patient care.

We’re a fast-scaling health-tech company backed by top investors and expanding globally. We move fast, stay curious, and believe building something that matters starts with an extraordinary team. If you're passionate about impact and innovation, we'd love to meet you!

About the Role

As Head of Design at Tandem, you’ll lead and elevate the craft of product design across the company. You’ll work closely with Product, Engineering, and company leadership to shape not only how our products look and feel, but how we discover opportunities, validate ideas, and build products users love.

Together we'll be shaping what the future of health interfaces look like. Enabling clinicians to focus on giving care rather than computers and enabling patients to understand and navigate their care journey. This role is about setting a high bar for product design, developing our designers, improving our systems and workflows, and helping define what exceptional AI-native product design should look like.

This is a role for someone with exceptional product design judgment, a strong track record of shipping meaningful products, and the ability to help others raise their game. You’ll represent design at the leadership level while remaining close enough to the work to contribute when needed.

We’re a fast-moving team that values momentum, ownership, and iteration. This role is a great fit for someone who cares deeply about product quality, thrives in ambiguity, and wants to shape the future of design in an AI-first environment.

This is not a traditional management role focused on org charts and large teams. We’re still early, and the design team is currently small. Instead, this role is about setting a high bar for product design, developing our designers, improving our systems and workflows, and helping define what exceptional AI-native product design should look like.

What You Bring
