UX Designer
Haven Life is MassMutual’s in-house startup and innovation hub. We combine the culture of a startup with the stability and backing of a Fortune 500 company to create an environment that's truly unique.
Haven Life is headquartered in New York, but we recently opened the Haven Boston Studio to focus on bringing new digital financial products to market that solve the most pressing unmet needs of everyday Americans. The Haven Boston Studio recently launched its first product (AgeUp), a new and novel way for everyday Americans to prepare for the possibility of life after age 90.
Our diverse team is comprised of smart, collaborative people who think big, execute quickly, and don't take themselves too seriously. We’re located about 2 blocks from South Station, in a vibrant startup office.
