Meru Health was founded with a big vision to help and empower people living with depression. We are a fast-paced startup funded by the top European VC's and we are based on a strong value base. Depression is one of the largest health problems of the modern world. We believe that great design is at the core of any successful technology company, and are now looking for a Head of Design.

We are looking for a Head of Design, managing the brand, service design, UX, UI, customer research and basically everything under design at Meru Health. Rather than someone who is superior in some specific sub-sector of design, we are looking for a holistic and strategic person. We value entrepreneurial characteristics such as being self-driven and self-organized.

We are currently working on:

• Fine-tuning our mobile program for alleviating depression symptoms for iOS and Android
• Trying to understand the in-depth needs of our users
• Focusing on the user experience/service design in a holistic way. (eg. how the service works, when our end users are not using our mobile app, how they are introduced to our program etc.)

What do we expect from you?

• alignment with our values
• 4+ year of experience in Visual/Service design. 
• interest in improving lives of others' and making a positive impact through own work
• passion for learning new things everyday
• ambition for building a high-quality product to be used by millions of patients and be prescribed/recommended by thousands of doctors
• You understand that we will not “hire” a person only based on interviews. It is of extreme importance first to work together for a while (not full-time) to see on both sides how things progress

It's a plus if you're familiar with or want to learn:

•  Javascript in frontend and/or backend development, React.js or other frontend frameworks
• you have experience in early stage technology companies

Wha will you get?

• developing a high-quality mobile consumer service for the international healthcare market
• being part of a close-knit passionate team that is determined to making an impact
• great colleagues and environment for professional and personal development
• fair salary and option package

Funny facts:

• every month we hold a Kick the Shit Out session where we give each other brutally honest feedback and provide everyone an opportunity to grow and develop
• we strive to spend a day each month on charity work, such as playing Christmas songs at an orphanage
• we hold team events, such as motocross racing, wall climbing or outdoors activities every once in a while
