About the Role: We’re looking for a Director of Product Design to lead and elevate design for Ethos’s Partnerships business and Platform teams.Buying life insurance is one of the most important financial decisions a family can make. The vast majority of families complete this purchase with the facilitation of an agent. For the last hundred years this process was dominated by paper-heavy, multi-week purchase flows that made selling and buying life insurance a pain. Today, Ethos is giving them modern digital tooling to transform that.

This role combines an eye for craft, strategic vision, team management, with hands-on design and product building excellence. You’ll champion intentional, intuitive, and strategic product experiences, compelling storytelling, and measurable business impact — and will help make Ethos the most trusted and user-friendly life insurance experience in the world for agents and their clients.
