Senior Service Designer / UX / Researcher

The mission of the Office of the CTO is to “show the way” and “drive the change”. We accomplish this by synthesizing knowledge across the organization, providing impactful insight and advice, and amplifying the effect of technology in driving the transformation of CVS Health and assisting people on their path to better health.

Are you a seasoned designer with a strategic mind-set and excellent communication and facilitation skills? Are you passionate about creating holistic solutions that are meaningful for users? Do you believe that the health industry should evolve and be reshaped? Do you believe that technology has an important role to play? Design thinking is an emerging focus for the Office of the CTO in CVS Health. We’ve made investments in getting the technologists ready and now need to build our research and design capabilities. You will be one of the first ‘feet’ on the street for design partnering with a few key individuals with a strong background such as yours. As part of this effort, you and the team can set the cadence for this cultural change.

We believe in teamwork, kindness, complex projects, and simple solutions. We are looking for a like-minded Senior Service/UX Designer with the experience, passion, skills and determination to help us rethink what healthcare services should look like one project at a time. We are looking for top talent to help develop, test and share design methods and tools within Aetna/CVS Health.
