Design Lead, Foundations

Assured is on a mission to modernize insurance. Claims processing (i.e. should we pay this claim) while often overlooked is the foundation of the entire industry. Its currently highly manual involving phone calls faxes and gut instinct costing tens of billions of dollars a year. We can do better.

At Assured we provide large insurers with the software solutions they need to win in a modern technology-driven world. From self-service claim-filing software to backend fraud detection were the engine that powers claims processing for some of the largest insurers in the world.

The challenges we face are deep and diverse from creating digital experiences that provide comfort and clarity to claimants at their most stressed and vulnerable to orchestrating large-scale ML-driven decision-making on billions of dollars of claims payments life at Assured is dynamic collaborative and rewarding.

Youll create the systems standards and tools that give teams across Design Product and Engineering a strong foundation to bring ideas to life and build incredible experiences.

Youll own the future of our design system but the opportunity goes well beyond components and libraries. Youll help define the shared patterns principles tools and infrastructure that allow us to raise the quality of our work while moving faster as we grow.

Were also excited about what design enablement can look like in an AI-oriented world. Theres a big opportunity to rethink our tooling and workflows so teams can move faster reduce repetitive work and empower more people across Assured to build high-quality experiences.

• Own and evolve our design system bringing todays fragmented systems and patterns into a strong shared foundation.

• Define the patterns and standards that help Assured experiences feel thoughtful cohesive and well crafted.
