Our take
Today, healthcare providers are tackling the growing challenge of too much paperwork and too little time for patients. Many existing electronic health record (EHR) systems only add to the problem - digital, yes, but often too clunky, time-consuming, and disconnected from the tools doctors actually need. Athelas is tackling this by reimagining how healthcare software works, helping providers spend less time lcicking and more time caring for people. Athelas offers a full suite of tools that combine AI-powered automation, remote patient monitoring (RPM), and integrated EHR and billing systems. And its newest platform, Athelas AIR, is a next-generation EHR designed to unify clinical and administrative workflows in one intelligent system. By embedding revenue cycle management (RCM) and ambient AI documentation directly into the platform, Athelas AIR strreamlines everything from charting to billing. And the goal is simple, to reduce administrative burden, improve margins, and ultimately, give healthcare teams a smoother, smarter way to work. The company has made some impressive strides lately too. After achieving unicorn status in 2022 and merging with healthcare software leader Commurein 2023, Athelas is now valued at around $6B. It has also partnered with organizations like Resilient HEalthcare to power at-home care programs, bringing hospital-level technology into patients homes. And with over 100 clients lined up to adopt Athelas AIR, the company is very much positioning itself as a leader in intelligent healthcare infrastructure.
You'll be working on
- Our team is a multidisciplinary group of visual communication designers, writers, motion designers, product designers, and producers building the way Commure shows up in the world
- We partner closely with Product, Marketing, Growth, Clinical, Comms, and Executive teams to bring to life a complex, high-stakes category into work that feels compelling, human, and unmistakably ours
- We’re looking for a Brand Design Lead to drive our brand expression and product creative across our most important moments: brand campaigns, product launches, in-product experiences, brand systems, and storytelling
- This is a hands-on creative leadership role for someone with exceptional taste, care for craftsmanship, sharp strategic instincts, and the systems mindset to raise the quality of the work at scale
- You’re equally comfortable zooming out to define a cohesive creative vision and zooming in to sharpen a webpage, refine an illustration system, or direct a photoshoot
- It is your job to set the quality bar and inspire our teams and our clients through communications design
- We believe deeply in the power of in-person collaboration to accelerate the work and strengthen the team
- Define and lead the creative vision across brand and product: campaigns, launches, patient- and provider-facing experiences, in-product moments, event and executive storytelling, and the digital surfaces that connect them
- Define our visual identity and design systems: typography, color, illustration, and the frameworks that keep our work coherent as we scale
- Translate complex clinical and product subject matter into work that feels simple, human, and earns trust
- Partner cross-functionally with Product, Marketing, and Executive teams to shape brand and creative decisions
- Set the quality bar for craft knowing when to push for a bigger idea and when to fight for the right color, type choice, or layout
- Use AI tools thoughtfully in your workflow for concepting, prototyping, and production to move faster without compromising craft
We're looking for
- A systems-thinking approach and an eye for the details that matter
- Comfort being the primary IC on brand and visual design today, with the interest and ability to hire and grow a team as scope expands
- A strong portfolio showing range across brand identity, product design, and visual systems with clear examples of work you personally designed and shipped
- Real fluency with AI tools and workflows (Midjourney, ComfyUI, generative video, LLMs for iteration) with concrete examples of how you’ve used them to move faster or improve quality
- Experience building design systems that raise quality and consistency across a product or brand
- Deep empathy for the people we serve: patients, providers, caregivers and the judgment to hold that responsibility carefully in a regulated, high-trust category
- Sophisticated visual craft, strong instincts across typography, color, composition, and layout
- 7+ years of relevant experience in brand and visual design, with a track record of owning design end-to-end rather than primarily directing others
