Combine design and research to engage those least likely to receive support  

Marigold Health is looking for a designer to lead UI, UX, and Service Design as we expand our network of support groups nationally. 

This is a FT opportunity reporting to our Chief Product Officer. Candidates can reside anywhere in the US and should expect periodic travel to our HQ in Boston.

Marigold Health exists to give every person with a mental health or substance use condition a place to feel heard.  

We have designed an asynchronous-first treatment program where patients support each other. We believe peers, individuals in recovery themselves who have received training to support others, can empower & engage those least likely to interact with current forms of care. 

Our program is a combination of 1-1 coaching and 24/7 anonymous chat support groups accessed over phone, SMS, and app/web. On the backend, proprietary natural language processing tools scale our peer workforce by augmenting group moderation, automating patient outreach, and sending sentiment-based “alerts” to coordinate care with other providers. 

Following strong results from our first clinical studies, we are entering a period of rapid growth, and expect to expand from 2 states today to 12 by this time next year.
