Product Designer - Health Tech & Design Systems

About Metabolic

Metabolic is a specialist metabolic medicine clinic. We combine clinical depth with a digital‑first patient experience across four areas: weight management and obesity, diabetes and pre‑diabetes, cardiovascular risk, and hormonal and thyroid health. We are not a wellness spa that happens to do bloodwork. Our clinicians are specialists, our diagnostics are comprehensive, and our products are built to the same standard.

We are looking for a Product Designer who can own the full design surface of Metabolic – mobile app, web, patient‑facing, clinician‑facing, and design system. Short‑hand structure won’t work; you will work directly with the Head of Product and Technology, make real decisions, and ship work that patients interact with from day one. The quality bar is high and the pace is real.

Design System – You will build and maintain the Metabolic design system across web and mobile: component libraries in Figma, documented token sets, interaction patterns, and discipline to keep it consistent as the product grows. You will be the point of contact for all design‑system questions.

Mobile and Web Product Design – From the patient app to the booking funnel to the clinician dashboard, you will design across the full stack of our digital touchpoints, ensuring the experience works equally well on a phone screen at 7 am and a 27‑inch monitor in a consultation room.

AI‑Augmented Workflow – AI tools are part of your workflow, not a gimmick. You know how and when to leverage tools such as Figma Make, Google Stitch, Claude for design exploration, and v0 for rapid prototyping – you don’t outsource judgment to AI.

Data Visualization and Health Interfaces – Much of what we build involves biomarker data, scoring systems, and trend charts that patients and clinicians read to make decisions. You present complex data without losing the human context.

Cross‑functional Execution – You work closely with engineers and contribute meaningfully to implementation conversations. You understand your design decisions’ build cost and can make trade‑offs. Your technical fluency lets you inspect CSS, review components in code, or identify potential development issues.

• 3 or more years designing digital products across mobile and web
• A portfolio that shows end‑to‑end thinking – problem framing, iteration, shipping – not just polished final screens
• Real experience owning or significantly contributing to a design system
• Strong data visualisation work – dashboards, health data, scoring interfaces, or other complex, legible work
• Experience working in small teams where you had to move fast and make calls without perfect information

• High‑level Figma – components, variables, auto‑layout, prototyping, and developer handoff
• Knowledge of AI‑powered design tools and clear viewpoints on their usefulness
• Enough HTML, CSS, and basic JavaScript to converse with engineers and catch implementation issues early
• User research – when to run it, how to synthesise it, and how to use it without delaying progress
• Excellent written communication – clear design‑decision documentation and self‑contained Figma files

• Care about what ships, not just what you hand over
• Show rather than describe – prototypes, mockups, quick explorations
• Genuine curiosity about AI in design without credulousness
• Open to feedback and clear in delivering it
• Comfortable with ambiguity and able to start without a detailed brief

• Experience on a health tech product – patient‑facing apps, clinical tools, EMR integrations, wearable data
• Design for regulated environments (GDPR, MHRA, CQC adjacent) and understanding of compliance for UX decisions
• Use of tools like Framer, Webflow, or similar to build prototypes beyond Figma’s native capabilities
• Opinion on what good looks like in AI‑native product design today

Send us your CV and a portfolio link. We will look at both before deciding whether to move forward.

• What you have designed, not just where you worked
• The size of the teams you have operated in
• Whether you have owned design systems or contributed to them and to what degree
• Any technical skills you have – even basic ones

• At least two projects with process visible, not just deliverables
• At least one example of data visualization or a complex information‑design problem
• At least one example of design system work
