At PicnicHealth, we're building the future of non-interventional clinical research, powered by AI and centered on patients. Our mission is to make it radically easier, faster, and more affordable to perform clinical trials and get better treatments to patients. We're replacing the legacy, services-heavy model with a modern, AI-first approach that unlocks insights from rich, multi-modal data—from clinical notes and imaging to lab results—at scale. By engaging patients directly through our personal health assistant, PicnicAI, which meets them where they’re at and delights them along the way (with an industry leading NPS of 76), patients participate actively in the research they care about.
PicnicHealth is already a trusted partner to 7 of the top 10 pharmaceutical companies. Our work spans 40+ disease areas and has supported over 60 peer-reviewed publications, including an FDA submission that incorporates PicnicHealth data.
Founded in 2014, we’ve raised $100M+ from top investors like Amplify Partners, Felicis Ventures, B Capital Group, and Y Combinator. Our business running non-interventional studies more than doubled last year, and we’re growing even faster in 2025. We’re a team of doctors, patients, data nerds, engineers, and builders, reimagining how clinical research works — and we’re just getting started!
The Opportunity
At PicnicHealth, AI is at the core of everything we do.
In this role, you will define how agents and humans collaborate across our study delivery platform in our internal operator portal and the broader ResearchOS ecosystem. These systems are the nerve center of study delivery at Picnic, where agent and human contributions come together to configure, manage, and maintain integrity of study operations. As a leader on the design team, you’ll shape both the experience of AI-driven study delivery and the culture and craft of design at PicnicHealth. This is an ideal role for a designer who wants to help define what meaningful, transparent human–AI collaboration looks like in practice and in doing so, make a lasting impact on how clinical research is run.
Your contributions will be key in driving innovation and efficiency in the critical field of clinical research, an ideal position for those who aspire to make a significant impact in both the product and the lives it touches.
What you’ll do:
As a Product Designer initially embedded on the Run team, you’ll shape every aspect of product development, from defining when agents act, when humans intervene, and how both stay aligned through shared tools and interfaces, to creating clear, intuitive component systems. You’ll apply your full range of product thinking, interaction design, and visual design skills to shape the future of AI-powered clinical research.
More specifically, you will:
Over the next 12 months you will be focused on:

Nice to haves:
We expect all team members to be amazing in their roles and, ultimately, to move the PicnicHealth mission forward.
What is clinical research and why will PicnicHealth win?
Clinical research is the industry responsible for conducting studies to evaluate the effectiveness of drugs and treatments. Better trials lead to faster, more cost-effective drug development, ultimately resulting in more and improved treatments for patients. However, the process remains highly inefficient. Trials are a major bottleneck in drug development, and the promising advancements in biotech cannot translate to real patient impact unless clinical research becomes faster and more efficient
The industry runs on outdated technology and manual processes. Research sites (hospitals, academic centers, doctors' offices) are overburdened and under-resourced. Contract research organizations (CROs), the organizations that traditionally run clinical trials for life sciences companies, typically throw hundreds-of-thousands of man-hours wrangling sites and cobbling together vendor software.
PicnicHealth has built technology that uniquely positions us to run faster, cheaper, and more flexible studies while removing burden from sites:
