Senior Product Designer

Pawlicy Advisor is America's leading pet insurance marketplace, dedicated to connecting pet owners with financial protection for their pets. The Senior Product Designer will own the design process from research to implementation, shaping product strategy and ensuring a high-quality user experience.

Responsibilities:

• Own the full design process — from discovery and research through wireframes, prototypes, and final implementation — for new and existing product features
• Shape product strategy through user research, competitive analysis, and a deep understanding of our customers: pet parents, veterinary staff, and partners
• Build and steward our design system, ensuring consistency and quality across every touchpoint, in close collaboration with our senior marketing designer
• Partner closely with engineering, reviewing shipped work to ensure it meets design standards and advocating for quality at every step
• Stay ahead of the sprint cycle — working 1-2 sprints ahead to keep pace with a fast-moving development team
• Collaborate cross-functionally with marketing, veterinary partnerships, and other stakeholders to align design with broader company goals
• Become a domain expert in pet insurance and pet health, with a sharp eye on industry trends and user needs

Requirements:

• 5+ years of product design experience, with a track record of significant ownership — ideally at a Series B startup or similarly fast-paced environment
• A strong portfolio demonstrating end-to-end design thinking, from research and strategy through polished, shipped UI
• Proven experience running user research and competitive analysis independently, and translating findings into actionable product decisions
• The confidence to push back, disagree, and realign without it becoming political — you're direct, but you bring people along! You have a clear point of view on how to solve user problems and you're not shy about advocating for it, but you are not precious
• Experience owning or significantly contributing to a design system
• Demonstrated ability to collaborate across functions — you've worked closely with engineers, marketers, and business stakeholders and know how to navigate different working styles
• Legally authorized to work in the United States without visa sponsorship required
• Bonus: experience in fintech, insurtech, health, or consumer marketplaces
• Extra points: You love animals and believe pet healthcare is a serious, underserved problem
