Product Designer for rapidly growing EdTech company

We are now looking for a designer with 3+ years of experience who can work across UX and UI design. You will work with user-centered iterative prototyping, with healthy components of tech team collaboration, data analysis, and design strategy.

Practically, you will work together with a Product Owner on designing solutions, starting with a solution proposal, and through rapid prototyping turn this proposal into an implementable solution that maximises user value and solves the intended problem. The rapid prototyping will happen through research, contact with users, data input, and contact with both the product owner and developers. Beyond this, there will also be foundational work of getting into the minds and hearts of our users; students and teachers, as well as strategic design work (style guide, design principles, etc.)

To work well in the role, you are a master prototyper with an interest in products and the technology behind them. You like to challenge yourself with how much value you can deliver to end users. You understand the balance between non-opinionated design and moving forward fast; when you need a bigger user research project and not, and when pixel perfection detail are necessary vs. when low fi prototypes will do.

You are execution focused. You appreciate smart, dedicated colleagues that truly care about you, about the product, and about the users.

You enjoy the biggest of challenges. The idea of being part of a small team tasked with building and designing the future of global learning products excites you.
