UX & Design Lead

We are looking for a sharp UX designer to join and help us deliver on our vision – becoming the most trustworthy online health company in the world.
Are you someone who likes to make the world a better place by helping others, and not content going to work designing yet another service that people don't really need? 

Our mission
Diet Doctor was founded by Andreas Eenfeldt (M.D.) in 2007, with the long-term goal of empowering people everywhere to dramatically improve their health. More than one billion people suffer from health issues related to type 2 diabetes and obesity, for which they're often personally blamed and rarely given the support they deserve. We aim to change that.
We’re fully funded by our members, so we don't need to show any ads, sell any products, or take any industry money. This also means that we have zero external investors, and are instead owned by the 30+ people who actually work here – and we offer all employees the possibility to buy a stake in the company regularly.

What have we achieved so far?
Profitability for years, self-funded, no VC investment.
The by far largest low-carb site and one of the largest health sites in the world.
12 million monthly visits (doubling our traffic year over year).
About 70k paying members.
Top Google ranking for our segment.

What you'll do
Scope, plan and lead UX and design activities to ensure our products are extremely simple, user-friendly and inspiring to use across platforms.
Work hands-on, creating interface and visual design solutions from concept to shipping.
Partner directly with product managers and engineers to implement new features and ensure high quality standard.
Develop and refine our design guidelines.
Help us recruit designers and manage a small design team.

What's in it for you?
Meaningful work: The opportunity to lead UX and design at Diet Doctor - creating world-class products that could dramatically improve the health of a billion people.
Meaningful relationships: Be part of a massively driven, ambitious, and kind culture filled with people who want to do good in the world. We try to optimize happiness by keeping track of employee satisfaction (Officevibe), using a minimalist workflow process (Kanban), minimizing meetings, and allowing for long uninterrupted blocks of work-time via our dedicated Engineering Focus Time™ slots.
Rapid growth: People at Diet Doctor love to grow. We'll give you lots of responsibility but also the support you need to do great things and learn fast. We urge you to keep growing and the company will happily pay for courses or conferences you want to attend. 
Great compensation: Market-level salary, overtime pay, and owning a meaningful part of the company through our employee stock offering (trust us: you've not heard of a better stock program).

Who you are
You have shipped product and have at least 3 years experience as a UX designer.
You thrive creating cross-platform experiences (web, android, iOS).
Love making products that are super simple and inspiring to use - you're not content with "good enough" but strive for world class usability.
Sense for pixel perfection and making rational design decisions. 
Have significant experience in taking a project from conception all the way to launch.
Driven, passionate self-starter that enjoys taking initiative to find solutions.
Not afraid to speak up and suggest how to improve things.
