About Spark Advisors

Over 20 million American seniors rely on independent Medicare brokers to navigate the healthcare system. These brokers provide support during critical life transitions — but have long lacked world-class insurance technology and services to support their own growth.

Spark was founded in 2020 to close this gap. We are a technology company innovating how the best brokers acquire, enroll, and serve their clients. With our industry-leading CRM, AI workflows, and client services, brokers can finally build the business of their dreams — and help more Americans find quality healthcare. With over 8,000 brokers serving 225,000 beneficiaries, Spark is the fastest-growing Medicare brokerage in the country.

We’re now looking for new builders and operators to accelerate our impact. Our talent-dense team combines experience from top technology and healthcare companies like Square, Ramp, Yext, Oscar, Cedar, and Galileo. Backed by top-tier investors, including Primary Ventures and Viewpoint Ventures, we’re united by a mission to build technology that solves societal needs.

Well-being is a big part of our work — and it applies to our employees too. We offer generous benefits like flexible work locations, sabbaticals for tenured employees, annual company retreats, and monthly socials to keep our team connected and performing at their best. We’re proud that last year, we were named one of Inc. Magazine’s Best Workplaces of 2025.

Join us if you’re excited to redefine an industry and shape what the next era of insurance should look like.

Summary

At Spark, our mission is to be the trusted advocate for the 70 million Medicare beneficiaries navigating the U.S. healthcare system.

We’re seeking a Product Design Lead to help us turn complex data into meaningful user action. You’ll design experiences that surface insights, guide users to the right next step, and ultimately drive better outcomes for the agents and agencies serving Medicare beneficiaries.

The ideal candidate has experience in data-rich environments such as B2B SaaS, internal tools, or complex operational workflows. You know how to simplify complexity without losing nuance, and you bring strong UX fundamentals, a collaborative mindset, and a talent for turning insight into impact.

What you’ll do

  • Translate complex datasets and reporting into clear, intuitive workflows, visualizations, and controls that drive measurable behavior change
  • Design interaction flows and UI components that help brokers and agency leaders take effective action on key data, like production trends, contracting gaps, or commission issues.
  • Conduct user research (discovery interviews, usability tests) and use those findings to shape design decisions and validate UX patterns
  • Partner with Product, Engineering, and Data to ship features across the full product lifecycle (from prototypes through post-launch data‑driven iteration)
  • Develop and evolve Spark’s design system, contributing scalable, reusable data components, interaction patterns, and documentation
  • Define and refine information architecture and navigation flows to reduce cognitive load and improve user decision-making
  • Champion design excellence and help mentor future designers as our team grows

What we’re looking for

  • 8+ years designing web‑based B2B SaaS or internal tools with emphasis on complex workflows and data-rich interfaces
  • Demonstrated impact through data-driven design through portfolio projects showing how you validated behavior change via metrics, experimentation, or iterative UX research
  • Experience leading or contributing to a design system, including components, tokens, documentation, and IA guidelines
  • Deep understanding of information architecture, hierarchical patterns, and how to structure data-heavy experiences for clarity
  • Strong UX fundamentals and systems thinking 
  • Proven track record collaborating with cross-functional teams and communicating design rationale grounded in user and business insight
  • Bonus: experience in healthcare, insurance, or regulated industries
