athenahealth is looking for designers who can dive into complex design challenges and create solutions to help transform the healthcare industry. If you’re a talented, innovative, and strategic designer motivated to make a difference in healthcare, we want to talk to you.
Position Summary
We’re looking for a multifaceted Principal Experience Designer to join the Medication Management team within our Clinicals product. This role combines hands-on experience design with strategic design leadership, requiring someone who can both shape the long-term direction of our product and translate that vision into thoughtful, effective solutions. Working closely with a multidisciplinary agile R&D team, you’ll develop a deep understanding of the needs and workflows of providers and clinical staff, identify opportunities to improve their experiences, and help drive meaningful improvements that ease the burden on humans in healthcare.
About the Team
The Medication Management (Meds) team develops efficient, intuitive experiences across a system that sends over 17 million prescriptions per month. It provides clinicians with information about patients’ medications and supports medication management and vaccine administration so they can deliver high-quality patient care.
We envision a future where medication management is effortless, intelligent, and connected, so every patient can start and stay on the treatment that is best for them. As part of the Meds zone, you’ll work to create more tailored experiences related to ordering and reconciliation, medication list management, and medication adherence, reimagining and optimizing capabilities our users consistently identify as essential to their work.
A successful candidate will embrace the challenge of elevating design within an enterprise product team. You’ll champion our users, develop a clear point of view on UX decisions, and work both independently and collaboratively to influence outcomes across the zone. You enjoy finding ways to drive incremental but significant improvements that keep us moving toward a greater long-term vision.

Essential Job Responsibilities
- Conduct generative research to inform product strategy, identify opportunities, and define project scope.
- Translate complex clinical workflows and user needs into intuitive product experiences, from early concepts through detailed interaction design and implementation.

- Guide teams through decisions and tradeoffs related to project scope, design strategy, and implementation, balancing user needs, risks, dependencies, and business constraints.
- Create workflows, journey maps, vision documents, and other artifacts to influence product backlog prioritization and planning.
- Plan and facilitate workshops to interpret research, frame problems, identify opportunities, explore solutions, and align teams on next steps.
- Foster empathy for users through storytelling and compelling, shareable research and design artifacts.
- Help define success criteria and metrics to evaluate design outcomes.
Additional Job Responsibilities
- Proactively build relationships across product teams and organizational boundaries to promote collaboration, cohesion, and consistency across the full user experience.
- Mentor junior designers and guide cross-functional colleagues through design reviews and collaborative problem-solving.
- Contribute to team-wide initiatives that strengthen design processes and practices.
- Adapt to evolving business and team needs with flexibility, initiative, and a willingness to contribute wherever needed to achieve results.
Expected Education & Experience
- 8+ years of professional UX experience.
- Demonstrated ability to influence across functions and product areas, incorporating diverse perspectives while developing and advocating for a clear point of view.
- Deep knowledge of UX practices within agile software development, including ideation, interaction design, user research, and evaluative testing.
- Extensive experience conducting and synthesizing user research, immersing yourself in complex problem spaces, and translating insights into actionable product decisions.
- Strong analytical thinking, problem-framing, and communication skills, with the ability to navigate ambiguity, consider risks and constraints, and make timely decisions.
- Hands-on experience with or exposure to emerging AI tools, with the ability to explore new tools independently and apply them thoughtfully to accelerate work and create meaningful value.
- Portfolio demonstrating the ability to tell a compelling story about discovering problems, defining solutions, influencing strategy, and collaborating on successful execution.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Visa Sponsorship as a Senior AI Product Designer
Frame your portfolio around AI product impact
Visa sponsors want evidence of specialized expertise, not just good design. Lead with AI-specific work: prompt interfaces, model output visualization, human-AI interaction patterns. Concrete outcomes tied to AI products strengthen your specialty occupation case.
Target companies with an active H-1B filing history
Not every company that posts AI design roles will sponsor visas. Focus on employers who have filed H-1B petitions for similar titles in the past. DOL disclosure data shows which companies consistently sponsor design and product roles.
Get clear on which visa category fits your background
H-1B is the most common path for this role, but O-1A is worth exploring if you have notable recognition in the field. Your degree, work history, and achievements together determine which petition has the strongest approval odds.
Align your degree field to the job description
USCIS evaluates whether your degree directly relates to the role. A background in interaction design, HCI, cognitive science, or computer science maps cleanly. If your degree is in a different field, gather evidence of equivalent specialized training.
Address AI expertise explicitly in your resume
Generic product design experience won't differentiate you for senior AI roles. Specify the AI systems you've designed for, the models involved, and the complexity of the human-AI workflows you've owned. Sponsors need to justify the specialty occupation classification.
Start the sponsorship conversation early in the process
Raising sponsorship needs late in an interview process wastes time for both sides. Bring it up after initial interest is established but before final rounds. Companies experienced with H-1B sponsorship will have a straightforward answer ready.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Senior AI Product Designer qualify as a specialty occupation for H-1B purposes?
Yes, in most cases. USCIS evaluates whether the role normally requires a bachelor's degree or higher in a specific field. Senior AI Product Designer roles typically require a degree in interaction design, HCI, computer science, or a closely related discipline, which satisfies the specialty occupation standard. Roles at larger tech companies with well-documented job requirements tend to have fewer adjudication issues than roles at smaller employers where the degree requirement is less established.
What degree do I need to get sponsored for a Senior AI Product Designer role?
Most sponsoring employers require a bachelor's degree in interaction design, human-computer interaction, cognitive science, computer science, or a related field. A degree in graphic design or fine arts alone may not satisfy USCIS without supplemental evidence connecting your background to AI product work. If your degree is in a different field, three years of specialized work experience can substitute for each missing year of education under USCIS equivalency rules.
Is the O-1A visa a realistic option for AI product designers?
It can be, particularly for designers who have published research, spoken at major industry conferences, contributed to widely used AI design systems, or held senior roles at companies with significant industry recognition. The O-1A requires evidence of extraordinary ability in the field, which is a higher bar than H-1B visa but has no lottery. If your background includes any of those markers, an immigration attorney can assess whether O-1A is worth pursuing alongside or instead of H-1B.
How do I find companies that actively sponsor visas for AI product design roles?
Browse Migrate Mate, which filters job listings specifically for visa-sponsoring employers. Beyond that, DOL Labor Condition Application disclosure data is publicly searchable and shows which companies have filed LCAs for product design and UX titles in recent years. Large technology companies, AI-focused startups with institutional funding, and enterprise software companies are the most consistent sponsors for this role category.
What happens to my H-1B sponsorship if I want to change employers after getting the visa?
H-1B portability allows you to start working for a new sponsor as soon as your new employer files an H-1B transfer petition, without waiting for approval, provided your current H-1B was approved and you've maintained valid status. Your new employer files a fresh I-129 petition. There's no need to go through the lottery again if you're already in H-1B status. The transfer process typically takes a few weeks, though premium processing can speed up the formal approval.
What is the prevailing wage requirement for sponsored Senior AI Product Designer jobs?
U.S. employers sponsoring a visa must pay at least the prevailing wage, which is what workers in the same role, area, and experience level typically earn. The Department of Labor sets this rate to make sure companies aren't hiring foreign workers simply because they'd accept lower pay than a U.S. worker. It varies by job title, location, and experience. You can look up current prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the OFLC Wage Search page.
