Role
Who you are
- You’re an experienced product designer (likely 5+ years) and have worked on complex or data-rich products—healthtech experience a bonus
- You’re comfortable working independently, but enjoy collaborating across teams to get the best outcomes
- You’re committed to experimentation and building in response to evidenced customer behaviour - whilst knowing where and when to trust your design sense
- You’re fluent in Figma and confident across discovery, concepting, and execution
- You’re curious and motivated by meaningful work—particularly in health
- You like turning ambiguity into structure, and messy problems into useful products
- You’re humble, hands-on, and happy to work on both strategic and detailed design tasks
- You’re excited by a startup environment where things move fast, and everyone rolls up their sleeves
What the job involves
- Design thoughtful, intuitive user experiences that span physical testing and digital platforms
- Bring design thinking and innovation methodologies to the cross-functional team
- Run user research and testing sessions and immerse yourself in product usage data to inform design decisions
- Follow product inspiration from the broader product design world, and bring expansive, conceptual thinking to the table where appropriate
- Translate complex clinical concepts, health data, and algorithmic outputs into clear, usable designs
- Work with engineers, data analysts and product experts to define flows, prototypes and features
- Run discovery projects and contribute to product thinking—helping us identify and validate the highest-value opportunities that meet user need
- Use Figma daily to iterate on flows, refine UI, and prototype ideas
- Collaborate across the business—working closely with clinical, growth, and marketing teams
- Balance short-term iteration and experimentation with long-term coherence in how our product feels and functions
Application process

Our take
In the past few years, dozens of startups have offered tests that bypass the NHS by providing pay-as-you-go medical testing normally reserved for the unwell. Thriva is one that stands out by helping people stay well in the fist place. And the company is using a pain-free "autodraw" device to do this, removing a major barrier to regular health checks.
Thriva focuses on helping users proactively manage their healthspan (the length of time they stay healthy, not just alive). Its curated selection of personalised tests are designed to give users insights into key health indicators, such as cholesterol or vitamin levels, enabling them to make small changes before problems arise.
Thriva has brought to light how well some diseases can be prevented just by testing, advice from its doctors can even help with simpler answers, like if someone is taking a Vitamin C supplement but they don't need to. The company has picked up a large customer base and has made several partnerships to make comprehensive blood tests easily accessible.
