Senior Product Designer

There are a huge number of people who will experience challenges to their mental health during their lifetime. The vast majority will never seek help. We are going to bridge this gap by building a digital offering to facilitate easy access to preventative programs and therapeutic solutions. By combining design with scientific methods, we will create an accessible way to improve our user's well-being. Design is a crucial part of our product.

In partnership with a global conglomerate, BCGDV is launching its latest HealthTech venture and now hiring the future employees who will take over the reins from the current incubation team. Leveraging the reach and connectivity of our corporate partner, in combination with the business building expertise of BCGDV, we will be able to quickly connect with our target demographic, understand their needs and become the go to partner for mental well-being in Germany.

In order to achieve these goals, we are looking to hire a high-performing team to ensure the continuity of the venture and build on the work done during incubation.
