We’re looking for a Director of Product Design to lead and elevate design for Ethos’s emerging product lines. Ethos is constantly innovating and with this role you will own the design practice that envisions new products and establishes them as new business lines for Ethos. You will own, alongside your team and Product and Engineering counterparts, the end-to-end journeys that introduce prospective customers to these products and lead them through a learning and discovery experience to conversion and activation. You will iterate and experiment continuously to establish your product lines. Our products are heavily narrative, story-telling, and craft driven. As such you will have a key role in shaping how Ethos grows and how Ethos helps people navigate complex decisions with confidence, clarity, and care. This role combines strategic vision, team management, with hands-on design and product building excellence. You’ll champion intentional, intuitive, and engaging design, compelling storytelling, strategic experimentation, and measurable business impact — and will help make Ethos the most trusted and user-friendly life insurance experience in the world.
