Product Designer

At Power, we're making clinical trials easy to navigate for all patients.

Today, patients look to promising medical research when standard treatments have failed them. Unfortunately, there is no single source of truth that patients can understand and trust. The status quo is a government run website which is written in complex medical jargon that is impossible for most people to navigate.

At the same time, clinical trials are the bottleneck on medical innovation—new medicine takes almost 10 years to test and over 86% of all clinical trials are delayed because they can't find enough patients. This is one of the biggest problems facing the life science industry.

Power is the easiest way for patients to access promising new studies. Thus helping more patients find treatments and speeding up the progress of medical research as we go.

We're building our foundational team and looking for a senior product designer to leave their mark on Power. You'll have an immediate and direct influence on the products we choose to build. Ideally, you're a product designer at heart with some strong opinions on UX and research. You're looking to design a company, not a set of features.

Given how early we are, you'll have tremendous impact on:

While we have a product live, we expect this person to play a central role in shaping all of our design decisions moving forward (from our product to our brand).

We don't believe in strict job requirements, but if these problems sound fun and familiar, you're probably well suited for this gig:

Power is the most patient-friendly marketplace resource for clinical trials.

We're a team of experienced marketplace operators with backing from some of the best across health tech and pharma.

We'd love to hear from you. Email [email protected]

In lieu of a cover letter, tell us about something you've built that you're proud about (or better yet, show us)!

A few values stand out: urgency, selflessness, agency, pragmatism. We’re looking for owners, so we hope you’ll help us expand this list.

We're a remote-first team at Power, and plan to remain as such post-pandemic. That said, we've budgeted for quarterly team off sites over the course of the next year, as we believe work is more fun when you have a deep personal relationship with your colleagues.

We have no 'formal' experience requirement, but think it's important that our earliest team members are highly autonomous.

This means that you've been accountable for building large pieces of a product users love.

Inversely, if you're at a point in your career where active mentorship is very important to you, this role likely isn't a fit for you.

At the highest level: we trust team members to manage their own schedules and we believe that taking time off to recharge makes you more productive in the long run.

The truth about early stage companies and small teams is that everyone’s work makes a big difference on the company’s trajectory. We’re not afraid to work hard if it’s impactful.

Typically, we check out around 6pm to protect family time and then log-in later to finish anything that was left undone.

How are you funded?

Happy to share specifics but we've raised a large seed round from top investors. We've intentionally raised enough to comfortably get us through the messy 0 to 1 stage.

2x Experience Interviews

1x Technical Interview

After which, we'd love to pay you to work with us for ~2 days, so you can get a sense of what it's like to work together.

Clinical trial recruiting is $3B dollars annually. Total spend on clinical trial operations is $180B annually.

Diversity is a priority for our team. Historically, clinical research has been terrible about including diverse populations. This is problematic because the efficacy and safety of medicine may differ by age, sex, race, and ethnicity. As a result, we draw healthcare conclusions that don’t actually reflect the outcomes for various groups (source).
