To help independent Medicare brokers build the insurance business of their dreams.
Role
Who you are
- The ideal candidate has experience in data-rich environments such as B2B SaaS, internal tools, or complex operational workflows across different user types. You know how to simplify complexity without losing nuance, and you bring strong UX fundamentals, a collaborative mindset, and a talent for turning insight into impact
- 4-6+ years designing web-based B2B SaaS or internal tools with emphasis on complex workflows and data-rich interfaces
- Portfolio required: expect to show end-to-end projects, design decision-making, user research, user flows, and production UI deliverables
- Fluency in Figma and eagerness to work with and help evolve AI-assisted design workflows
- Experience contributing to a design system, including components, patterns, and documentation
- Solid understanding of information architecture and how to structure data-heavy experiences for clarity
- Strong UX fundamentals and craft, with growing systems thinking
- Track record collaborating with cross-functional teams and communicating design rationale grounded in user and business insight
What the job involves
- We're seeking a Senior Product Designer to help us turn complex data into meaningful user action. You'll work closely with product, engineering, data, and operations to explore how we can create the best experiences and outcomes for our users. This role sits across execution and discovery, primarily focused on our internal operations team for internal tooling, as well as improving the experience for our agency leaders
- Design interaction flows and UI components that help brokers and agency leaders take effective action on key data, like production trends, contracting gaps, or commission issues
- Translate complex datasets and reporting into clear, intuitive workflows, visualizations, and controls
- Conduct user research (discovery interviews, usability tests) and use those findings to shape design decisions and validate UX patterns
- Partner with Product, Engineering, and Data to ship features across the full product lifecycle, from prototypes through post-launch iteration
- Incorporate AI tools into your design process, such as research synthesis, rapid prototyping, or exploring design directions, and help evolve how the design and product team works with AI day to day
- Contribute reusable components, interaction patterns, and documentation to Spark's design system
- Apply and help refine information architecture and navigation patterns to reduce cognitive load and improve user decision-making
Our take
Medicare is the national health insurance package for US citizens over the age of 65, with most people that seek to enrol in a plan making use of brokers to help them evaluate and select options. Spark is a technology company and “concierge” service that partners with independent Medicare brokers and provides a platform that helps them navigate and build retirement benefit packages for customers.
Handling the marketing, sales support, back office, and compliance requirements of Medicare brokering, Spark bridges the gap between insurance agents and their customers. The company already has partnerships with more than 100 leading Medicare agencies that represent over 3400 brokers, a good starting point from which to grow.
Agetech is a growing market, due to an aging population and longer lifespans, and Spark has benefitted from an increased demand and interest in Medicare brokering. Highlighting this is its 2024 raise of a $25 million Series B funding round that will support its future growth and product development.
