Product Designer

LEIA is a Swedish startup with a vision to redefine postpartum health. Through
digitization and AI our goal is to help women worldwide have a happier and healthier entry into motherhood. Out of the 140 million women giving birth each year 90% will experience mental and physical difficulties the following year, affecting not only them but their families as well. Barriers such as stigma, low digitization, and a lack of personalized information means that millions of women and parents are not getting the help they so desperately need.

We’re an early stage start-up looking for an amazing product designer to join the team!
