## Job Description

## What you'll be working on

- Own our entire design language: Define Clarion's brand identity across all touchpoints—from marketing website to product interfaces to sales materials—ensuring we stand out in healthcare
- Design AI voice experiences that feel human: Craft conversation flows, dialogue scripts, and interaction patterns that make our AI agents sound natural, empathetic, and trustworthy to patients
- Create intuitive product interfaces: Build dashboards and tools that make complex AI capabilities feel simple for overwhelmed healthcare teams
- Bridge the visual and auditory: Design cohesive experiences where what customers see perfectly complements what patients hear during AI conversations
- Build our design system from scratch: Establish visual guidelines, component libraries, and voice interaction patterns that scale as we grow
- Ship brand experiences at startup speed: Create everything from pitch decks to product demos to conference materials that make healthcare buyers stop and pay attention

- **Full-stack designer**: Comfortable moving from brand strategy to UI design to copywriting within the same day
- **Systems thinker**: Can create scalable design frameworks for both visual and conversational interfaces
- **Figma fluent**: Expert-level proficiency in design tools, with ability to create everything from logos to prototypes
- **In-person collaboration**: Excited to work from our NYC office daily

## You are a good fit if

- You believe great design spans all senses—what people see, hear, and feel when interacting with a product
- You're fascinated by making AI conversations feel natural and human, not robotic or scripted
- You can write copy that sounds like a compassionate healthcare worker, not a tech company
- You want to own both how Clarion looks and how it sounds to millions of patients
- You're excited to define a brand that stands out in the sea of sterile healthcare tech
- You measure success by both user delight and business impact

## Interesting Design Challenges

- Make AI feel human: Design voice scripts and interfaces that help patients trust they're getting real help, not talking to a robot
- Smooth handoffs between AI and staff: Create seamless transitions when a conversation needs to move from AI to a human without confusing or frustrating the patient
- Simplify complex healthcare workflows: Turn chaotic medical processes into clean, intuitive designs that busy staff can use without training
- Show conversations clearly: Design dashboards that help staff quickly understand what happened in AI-patient calls and spot important issues
- Give staff the right amount of control: Build systems that let healthcare teams oversee AI agents without creating extra work or slowing things down
- Connect what's heard with what's seen: Make sure the AI's voice conversations match perfectly with what staff see on their screens

## What we offer

- Direct mentorship: Work closely with our founding team and shape both product and brand direction from day one
- Meaningful equity: Early employee stock options with significant ownership potential
- Comprehensive benefits: 100% covered healthcare, flexible time off, commuter benefits, daily team lunches
- Team culture: Quarterly retreats and monthly team events that build real connections in our close-knit NYC team
- Impact at scale: Your designs—both visual and voice—will directly improve healthcare access for millions
