We make health happen

The role

We're looking for a Senior Product Designer to help shape the future of digital health at Bupa.

You'll work within a cross-functional squad and a small team of designers, driving both how the product works and how we discover what to build.

With a portfolio that demonstrates strategic thinking, interaction design depth, and measurable impact, you'll be a strategic partner to product and engineering stakeholders, guiding product discovery, defining experience strategy, and ensuring design excellence-with the support of your Design Principal.

How you'll help us make health happen

• Support Discovery & Strategy: Frame problems, test ideas, and guide your squad toward effective, validated solutions.
• Design Holistic Experiences: Own the end-to-end user journey, ensuring the product delivers real value and feels intuitive to use.
• Conduct & Guide Research: plan and conduct evaluative user research and ensure insights are embedded into design decisions.
• Run Workshops & Design Sprints: Facilitate collaborative sessions to align stakeholders and accelerate discovery.
• Balance Business and User Needs: Create solutions that are desirable, feasible, and commercially viable working closely with stakeholders to understand constraints.
• Elevate Design Quality: Contribute to setting the standard for design craft and thinking across your squad and the wider design community.
• Promote Design Systems: Contribute to and advocate for Bupa's design system (Anatomy) to ensure consistency and scalability.
• Ensure Accessibility: Design experiences that meet WCAG 2.2 AA standards and are inclusive of all users.
• Foster a Discovery Culture: Encourage rapid experimentation, user engagement, and continuous learning.
  

You

• Significant experience of managing products in a large, regulated organisation.
• Able to inspire and deliver innovative solutions through cross-functional teams
• Multidisciplinary: You bring depth in product design and breadth across at least three of the following: service design, user research, content design, design systems, and design strategy.
• Discovery-Led: You believe in testing ideas early and often, and you know how to guide teams through ambiguity.
• Interaction-Driven: You design how the product works-not just how it looks-and understand the nuances of user behaviour.
• Inclusive by Design: You champion accessibility and inclusive design practices from the start.
• Proficiency in Figma and experience with design systems.
• Experience conducting user research and usability testing.
• Familiarity with WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility standards.
• Strongly preferred: experience with AI tools such as Figma Make and Lovable.
• Strong understanding of product discovery, experimentation, and agile product development.
