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.

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 we are not looking for a narrow specialist. We are looking for a hybrid product designer who can create high-quality interfaces, think in systems, and contribute meaningfully to both UX and UI across LillyDirect products.

• Produce polished, independent work across UX and/or UI from research synthesis through delivery.
• Reframe ambiguous briefs, identify the real design opportunity, and build alignment before execution begins.
• Begin informally mentoring junior designers through critique and shared working sessions.
• 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.
• Apply visual excellence within a broader product design practice, contributing to flows, structure, and interaction quality as part of a hybrid role.
