Apply About Us: Artera is an AI startup that develops medical artificial intelligence tests to personalize therapy for cancer patients. Artera is on a mission to personalize medical decisions for patients and physicians on a global scale.
Artera is seeking a highly strategic and hands-on Design Lead to define and elevate the end-to-end user experience across our products and customer touchpoints. This role is responsible for shaping how clinicians, patients, and partners interact with Artera through our clinic-facing web portals, test reports, medical education and marketing materials.
In this role, you will lead an internal & external team of product designers and partner closely with cross-functional leaders to turn intricate medical data, AI-driven insights, and complex provider workflows into intuitive, accessible, and visually compelling experiences. You will champion cohesive human-centered design principles while meeting the rigorous quality and regulatory standards expected of medical technologies. Your work will help clinicians make more informed decisions, improve patient understanding, and strengthen the overall experience of working with Artera.
Essential Responsibilities:
Design Leadership & Strategy
Define the long-term design vision and user experience strategy across Artera’s software products and assets in close alignment with Product, Marketing, Medical, Sales, and Engineering leadership.

Evangelize design thinking across the broader organization, incorporating the voice of the clinical user into product and communication design.
Lead, mentor, and grow a team of product designers, fostering a culture of constructive design critiques, inclusivity, and continuous learning.
Clinical UX & Product Delivery
Translate highly complex workflows—such as medical imaging, data-heavy analytics, and/or AI-assisted decision making—into clear interaction graphics and visuals.
Own the end-to-end design lifecycle, producing user flows, low-fidelity wireframes, interactive prototypes, and production-ready high-fidelity UI specifications.

Product Marketing & Brand Alignment
Oversee product launch design, creating compelling marketing assets, landing pages, interactive product demos, and visual sales enablement collateral.
Translate the product’s clinical value into marketing visuals, converting scientific, high-density health data and outcomes research into clear, impactful infographics, case studies, and presentation decks.
Maintain brand consistency, ensuring the visual language used across sales pitches, marketing campaigns, and website touchpoints aligns perfectly with the core product software experience
