You’ll work closely with Product, Engineering and key stakeholders, bringing strong communication, collaboration and craft to every stage of the design process. If you’re passionate about user-centred design, motivated by impact and energised by the education space, we’d love to hear from you.

You will also take a collaborative and iterative approach to make existing solutions stronger.
- Work closely with our engineers: Provide clear and detailed documentation, including user flows, interactive prototypes and wireframes. Help resolve usability issues that arise during development, and ensure the final product aligns with the initial design vision.
