Datavant is a data platform company and the world's leader in health data exchange. Our vision is that every healthcare decision is powered by the right data, at the right time, in the right format.

Our platform is powered by the largest, most diverse health data network in the U.S., enabling data to be secure, accessible and usable to inform better health decisions. Datavant is trusted by the world's leading life sciences companies, government agencies, and those who deliver and pay for care.

By joining Datavant today, you're stepping onto a high-performing, values-driven team. Together, we're rising to the challenge of tackling some of healthcare's most complex problems with technology-forward solutions. Datavanters bring a diversity of professional, educational and life experiences to realize our bold vision for healthcare.

As a leader of our Product Design team, you will be managing designers and designing our most critical user experiences by the end of your first week. Your work will be critical to growing our business, which will ultimately improve patient outcomes. You will collaborate with our clients and internal teams to incorporate user feedback into new flows and interfaces and help us decide what to build, not just how to build it. If this sounds exciting to you, we'd love for you to apply!
