Eli Lilly is a global healthcare leader that unites caring with discovery to create medicines that make life better for people around the world. We’re leveraging cutting-edge technologies and innovative platforms to develop next-generation therapeutic ecosystems, connected devices, data, and analytics to transform patient experiences and improve treatment outcomes.
You will be joining the LillyDirect design team, building one of the most ambitious direct-to-patient platforms in the industry. LillyDirect connects people to Lilly's medicines, care programs, and support services in one seamless experience. We work at the intersection of healthcare, commerce, and human need, and we hold ourselves to the highest standard of clarity, accessibility, and care in every interaction we design.
ABOUT THE ROLE
As a Product Designer at Lilly, you will work across the full arc of design delivery — from making sense of research and shaping the problem, to crafting the interactions, nailing the visual execution, and getting it across the finish line with engineering and product. At Lilly, that means your work has real stakes: the people on the other end of your screens are patients, caregivers, and the scientists trying to help them.
This role leans toward visual and UI design, but it is not a narrow visual-only role. We are looking for a strong hybrid product designer who can raise the bar on interface quality, systems thinking, and overall product polish while also working confidently through flows, structure, and interaction design.
CORE RESPONSIBILITIES
Great design at Lilly starts here. These are the responsibilities we will expect from you:
- Elevate and maintain design standards through direct contribution across a wide range of outputs and mediums, from digital products to patient-facing experiences.
- Bring attention to detail and a passion for all aspects of design including typography, motion, copy, composition, and art direction.
- Understand component-based design systems and know when to follow existing patterns and when to break constraints.
- Present and persuasively communicate design rationale at all levels, incorporate feedback constructively, and build trust with collaborators across the organization.
- Demonstrate accountability, flexibility, and initiative, with the ability to prioritize and deliver results efficiently.
- Embrace a learning and growth mindset, stay current on industry trends and tools, and contribute positively to a culture of critique, collaboration, and honest reflection at Design@Lilly.
- Raise the bar for visual quality, interaction detail, and product polish across LillyDirect surfaces.
- Contribute to and evolve the design system at the component and pattern level, ensuring consistency without sacrificing clarity or usability.
- Partner with product and engineering to shape solutions, not just execute screens, bringing equal strength to problem framing and final execution.
- Set the craft standard for the team, producing sophisticated work others reference and build from.
- Drive cross-functional alignment on design direction across a product area.
- Shape team culture through critique leadership, mentorship, and active contribution to Design@Lilly practices.
- Shape how products look and feel, owning visual quality across typography, color, composition, and motion.
- Contribute to and evolve the design system at the component and pattern level.
- Deliver polished, production-ready assets across web, mobile, and other digital formats.
- Operate as a hybrid product designer, pairing strong UI craft with solid UX judgment across flows, interaction patterns, and end-to-end user experience.
Basic Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Design (Digital Design, Interaction Design, Visual Communication, Human-Computer Interaction, or related field)
- Or high school diploma/GED with 5+ years of equivalent practical experience
