As Blend360 continues to scale its impact, we’re seeking a Lead Analyst, Product Designer to lead the product vision and design of AI enabled platforms for one of our leading healthcare clients bridging business goals and user-centered design into intelligent digital products that drive measurable value. 

As a Senior Product Designer at Blend360, you’ll be a hands-on contributor and strategic thinker—bringing intuitive, intelligent, and high-impact digital and AI-driven experiences to life. You’ll collaborate closely with cross-functional teams across product, data science, and engineering to design solutions that align user needs with business outcomes. 

This is a key role for someone who thrives in hybrid consulting and product development environments, values craftsmanship and systems thinking, and wants to push the boundaries of AI-first, human-centered design. 

What You’ll Do 

• Design Execution: Own end-to-end design—from discovery and user flows to high-fidelity prototypes and dev-ready assets—for data-driven digital products, services, and platforms. 

• Collaboration: Partner with product managers, data scientists, and engineers in agile teams to bring clarity and creativity to complex technical challenges. 

• User-Centered Thinking: Translate user research, business requirements, and technical constraints into elegant and accessible interfaces. 

• AI-First Design: Harness AI tools to accelerate design iterations, explore solutions at scale, and architect user experiences. 

• Craft & Consistency: Maintain high standards for visual design, interaction design, and usability. Contribute to and help evolve our design systems and standards. 

• Client Engagement: Participate in client-facing sessions—presenting your work, incorporating feedback, and advocating for the user throughout the design process. 

• 5–8 years of experience in product design, with a portfolio showcasing intuitive and impactful interfaces for web or mobile applications. 

• Proficiency in modern design tools (e.g., Figma) and design systems. AI prototyping experience is a plus. 

• Strong grounding in UX principles, Design thinking, UI patterns, and accessibility standards. 

• Experience working with or alongside data products, AI/ML models, or analytics dashboards is a plus. 

• A collaborative mindset and ability to communicate design decisions clearly. 

• Comfort in fast-paced, ambiguous environments and a passion for continuous learning. 

• Consulting or agency experience is a plus but not required.
