Job Description

Worldwide, 1 in 7 people suffer from cancer or a rare disease. The key to developing more precise drugs faster is to access the millions of clinical and genomic data which is available worldwide. With big data, usability is paramount but current platforms fail to provide the best-in-class UX needed to generate insights.

As our Head of UX puts it:

“Life sciences is the next industry to undergo a UX revolution. Lifebit is pioneering this revolution by becoming for life sciences what Apple is for technology, the go-to place for best-in-class UX.” ~ Shane Fadden, Head of Product Design, Lifebit

• Own the delivery and implementation of new features, ensuring that the needs of the business are considered alongside the design of quality customer experiences.
• Facilitate workshops and collaborative sessions to explore solutions and develop design concepts to test and refine with internal and external users.
• Perform research activities to uncover customer needs and pain points and transform these into insights and opportunities.
• Be an active mentor for other designers, lead design critiques, and proactively deliver feedback to colleagues at every stage of the design process.

What we are looking for

• Experience designing solutions for digital products and a strong knowledge of the end-to-end iterative product design process, in a product-focused environment
• Proven experience driving and applying user-centered design processes while working with cross-functional teams including product, development and customer success.
• Excellent communication, documentation, and storytelling to share the ‘why’ behind your design decisions.
• Proficiency with standard design and prototyping tools like Figma and Miro.
• Genuinely curious people, you’ll need to speak with scientists across the globe

Benefits

• £45k-60k salary dependent on experience
• 25 days of annual leave plus the usual public holidays
• Monthly team activities
• Mindfulness sessions
• Private Health Insurance
• Conferences, events and training resources (Data science, AI, cloud, any tech stack, painting, origami, you pick!) – we offer £1,000 a year to each person for personal development)

About Lifebit

Generating large amounts of biomedical data has become relatively straightforward. The challenge now is finding, accessing and analysing this sensitive data stored across thousands of disconnected locations. It is frustrating and painfully difficult for researchers.

At Lifebit, we carve our own path. Trusted by Governments and world-leading pharma institutions and funded with over $70m we are on a mission to harness the power of connected data and bring precision medicine to life globally.

Lifebit has created a patented, federated technology that brings analysis and computation to where data resides. This enables researchers to run analyses on multiple, distributed datasets in-situ, avoiding the risky movement of highly-sensitive data.

Lifebit powers pioneers in national precision medicine such as Genomics England (UK Government) and the Hong Kong Genome Project and guides them on how to make their valuable data usable securely. Biotech and pharma leaders like Boehringer Ingelheim turn to Lifebit to connect them to this otherwise locked up data to obtain novel therapeutic insights.

Our technology is unmatched and momentum is on our side – but we need an exceptionally strong team to help boost Lifebit to incredible new heights.

If you share our commitment to open source, bioinformatics, big big data, Machine Learning, and AI we want to hear from you today.

Lifebit is on the cutting edge of the biotechnology revolution. In September 2021 we closed a $60m Series B funding round led by Tiger Global Management, with participation from existing investors Eurazeo, Pentech Ventures, and Beacon Capital.

Based in London, UK and with a presence in Europe, North America and Asia, Lifebit continues to expand across the globe, with each person empowered and involved in every aspect of the business.

“Take on challenging and unique problems and help empower healthcare professionals around the world!” ~ Marina Root, Designer, Lifebit

“Lifebit advocates exploration and experimentation which allowed me to try different solutions and approaches to every issue I was facing. If you embrace being constantly challenged in an open environment while improving the lives of millions of people you should be part of this adventure.” ~ Manos Kalaitzoglou, Designer, Lifebit
