Context
Marit Health set out to create a platform where physicians could track compensation across specialties, discover personalized job opportunities, and connect with peers around shared professional interests. This was a 0→1 product initiative, building from scratch a comprehensive job board, detailed job pages, and a fully functional filter and matching system designed specifically for physicians exploring new roles.
Problem & Opportunity
Recruiting for advanced practitioners and physicians presents unique challenges. Existing sourcing tools often overlook the nuances that influence a physician’s decision to change roles such as community fit, patient demographics, or relocation context.
Unlike other industries, physician openings typically attract very few applicants (often fewer than five) making any expression of interest highly valuable to hospital and clinic recruiters.
By creating a smarter, more context-rich matching system, Marit Health could enable physicians to passively receive tailored opportunities weekly, reducing the effort of job hunting while increasing recruiter engagement and match quality.
Process
Over a four-month period, I collaborated with the Marit team to design and build the new jobs experience, which included:
- Dynamic job feed and job details page
- Filters and preference system for more accurate matching
- Redesigned home feed surfacing personalized job matches
Because the legacy platform was not architected to support features like job boards or social interactions, I also led the information architecture redesign, creating a new navigational framework and extending the design system with reusable components that could scale with future product features.
Research
We began by conducting interviews with partner recruiters from various hospitals to identify their most significant hiring challenges.
Through these conversations, we learned that physicians often lacked a complete picture of what a potential role entailed. While compensation mattered, many wanted deeper insight into:
- The communities they’d be joining
- The neighborhoods they might relocate to
- The patient populations they’d serve.
Existing platforms rarely offered this level of context, leaving physicians uncertain and less likely to engage. These insights shaped our product direction, emphasizing rich job context and trust-building transparency throughout the experience.
Outcome
The Jobs on Marit platform launched in September 2025, rolling out across Web and native iOS and Android apps. This release not only expanded Marit’s value proposition for physicians and recruiters but also set the foundation for the next evolution of the product, a social layer that allows physicians to connect, collaborate, and share insights directly on the platform.
