You’ve been designing long enough to have watched tools become essential and then disappear. You know which design skills are timeless and which ones expire.\u00c2\u00a0The human-centered design skills are where your heart is, and you know that AI will take over much of the tool-based design work soon.You see the fear around AI, and you understand where it comes from. But you also see the opportunities, and you want to show people how to work with AI in a way that benefits their lives, their users, and the world.You can name the\u00c2\u00a0ten leading designers\u00c2\u00a0who should be teaching the world\u00e2\u0080\u0099s best courses and Master Classes right now. You know what each of them does better than anyone else, and where their gaps are.Now you get the opportunity to decide what hundreds of thousands of designers learn next.The industry leaders whose expertise you’ll be turning into courses and Master Classes include\u00c2\u00a0Don Norman and Vitaly Friedman, as well as Design Leads at\u00c2\u00a0Netflix, LinkedIn, Meta, and Adobe. Don Norman also chairs our executive board.You’ll be involved in the entire process of creating our courses and Master Classes, and you’ll lead many of the decisions, so there are incredible opportunities for you to\u00c2\u00a0take initiative, make meaningful contributions, and grow. Forget political struggles or long, pointless debates. You\u00e2\u0080\u0099ll be in a team with minimal distance between idea and action, where decisions are made ultra-fast.Join the Global Leader in Online Design and AI EducationIxDF is the world’s largest online design and AI education platform, with over 1,150,000 enrollments since 2002. We hold the trust of industry giants like Adobe, NASA, and IBM, who rely on our courses to train their teams. Prestigious universities, including MIT and the University of Cambridge, integrate our material into their curricula. Help us take online education to new heights\u00c2\u00a0and\u00c2\u00a0make a meaningful impact on humankind.At IxDF, we\u00e2\u0080\u0099re not just a company but a movement dedicated to making high-quality design and AI education accessible to everyone, everywhere.We’ve pioneered online design education since 2002. We have over 1,150,000 enrollments and 1,583 company members, with more than 40 courses, 160 Master Classes, and thousands of open-source design resources, created by our team in collaboration with 240 industry leaders.With learners from over 100 countries, your work will empower people worldwide.We’re Hiring Three People for Our Editorial TeamWe’re growing, and three roles are open at the same time to build the next generation of our core educational product. Here’s what each role leads on:Our Course Directors, UX, UI, and AI: lead what we teach and who teaches our courses and Master Classes. You reach out to industry leaders and create the invitation they say yes to. You bring your judgment to a planned course outline: what’s missing, what doesn’t belong, and whether the structure is solid. You plan and shoot courses with our Education Designers.\u00c2\u00a0This is the role described here.Our Education Designers, UX, UI, and AI: lead how design and AI are taught. You plan, structure, and create the core content, and you decide what a course participant should be able to do by the end and how they get there.Our Course Writers and Editors: lead how our courses and articles read. You make each title engaging, ensure each sentence flows, and edit the written course experience from the user\u00e2\u0080\u0099s perspective.We’re a flexible team, and you’ll be able to do what you excel in. Everyone on our team creates courses, and everyone works across these roles. If you’re torn between two roles, apply for the one you’d be best at, and tell us in your application which other one you considered and why.You, the Course Director, decide what belongs in our curriculum and who should teach it. You reach out to the world\u00e2\u0080\u0099s leading experts, plan the courses with them, and shoot courses with them. When an Education Designer brings you a course outline, you’re the one who says what’s missing, what doesn’t belong, and how to optimize the learning outcome so designers can succeed today. You’ll work closely with our\u00c2\u00a0Co-Founder, your\u00c2\u00a0Team Lead, our other\u00c2\u00a0Course Directors, and the\u00c2\u00a0Education Designers, and you’ll plan and create courses alongside them. Our Course Writers and Editors take the finished material the last mile: the scripts, hooks, headings, on-screen text in videos, quiz wording, and editorial voice. You’ll also work closely with the video team and our growth team.Your Role at IxDFBe a core part of our Editorial Team. You’ll collaborate with IxDF editors, video editors, and UX and UI designers as well as external industry leaders to create courses and Master Classes for people worldwide. You’ll help them succeed in the age of AI with new skills in AI and in timeless human-centered design.You’ll research what already exists in a topic area, so that what we build is genuinely unique. You’ll look at\u00c2\u00a0where design and AI are heading, what designers need\u00c2\u00a0that nobody has taught well yet, and\u00c2\u00a0what we should retire\u00c2\u00a0because the field has already moved on.Find the people who should teach it.\u00c2\u00a0You decide a topic is worth a course, you work out who should teach it and why, you write the email, and you get the yes. Then you plan the content with the industry leader and agree what the course must leave a learner able to do.Decide what each expert should teach.\u00c2\u00a0The best designers know a great deal, and a course that tries to capture all of it becomes an information dump. You develop a point of view on what a designer genuinely needs from them, and you hold the course to it.You’ll decide which skills our courses teach, both to people entering design and to experienced designers leveling up. Our goal is to help designers thrive in the age of AI and work responsibly, so their users can thrive too.Ensure our course participants finish each course with a solid portfolio project they can show a hiring manager.Help us decide what AI should do for our course participants. Personalized learning paths, constructive AI feedback on portfolio work, practice environments where people run real design tasks and get feedback. You’ll also help us improve the user flows on our own platform, so that learning at IxDF is as well designed as what we teach. You’ll work on this with our founders, designers, and dev team.Make an impact as you pressure-test the courses\u00c2\u00a0our Education Designers plan. An Education Designer sends you a course outline, and you read it against everything you know about the field and about how people learn design, then give constructive feedback on what’s missing, what doesn’t belong, and where the structure can be improved.\u00c2\u00a0You know the limits of your own expertise, and you research your way past them before you weigh in. You’ll also plan, structure, and create courses yourself, alongside them.You’re one of the people\u00c2\u00a0whose judgment the rest of the team leans on.\u00c2\u00a0You show our Education Designers what ten or twenty years in the field taught you to look for. In return, our Co-Founder, your Team Lead, and our other Course Directors give constructive feedback on the courses you lead. You’ll work in a\u00c2\u00a0diverse, highly organized, result-driven environment\u00c2\u00a0where you’ll grow personally and professionally.Act as guardian of our quality bar. When a course goes out under our name, it has to be better than anything else available on the topic. On the courses and Master Classes you lead or review, you’re the one who spots what’s not good enough yet and works with the team to fix it.Bring your subject matter expertise\u00c2\u00a0to our writers, community managers, and social media team, so our design thinking stays consistent across everything we publish.You help produce Master Classes. We produce 3 per month. Over email, you reach out to designers whose work you admire, invite them to create one with us, plan the content, and produce the live session.\u00c2\u00a0Timelines vary enormously:\u00c2\u00a0with Don Norman or Vitaly Friedman it can be two weeks from first email to publication, because we work with them often. With a new expert, it can be half a year. Once the session is recorded, you get the footage and the transcript, and you decide with the Education Designers and Team Lead which existing course benefits from which snippets, and where they go.Focus on what matters\u00c2\u00a0as you take raw expert video material, course and Master Class transcripts and footage featuring global industry leaders, and turn it into educational material that teaches new skills in AI and in timeless human-centered design. You’ll work across UX design, human-computer interaction, design thinking, UI design, psychology, and AI.Design for a diverse, global audience.\u00c2\u00a0Some of our courses and Master Classes serve working designers who want to grow into more senior work. Others serve people moving into design from other fields. Often, a course will serve both in the same lesson. Getting both right without watering either down is a rewarding design challenge.Give the video team\u00c2\u00a0constructive feedback\u00c2\u00a0on course and Master Class videos, from on-screen text and b-roll to graphics and animation, so each video is engaging to learn from and accurate from a design perspective.Fly out and meet the global industry leaders in design in professional studios across the world.\u00c2\u00a0You’ll shoot the course content there with some of your colleagues. Expect this a few times a year at minimum. Some of us love that part and join every studio production; others keep it to those few trips. Both work for us. On average\u00c2\u00a0we shoot 4-6 new courses per year.Expect to have several courses moving at once at different stages: one you’re planning with an expert, one being shot, one in production, and one published course that you’re reviewing and improving.Find room for improvement\u00c2\u00a0by looking at completion rates, learner feedback, and the portfolios course participants produce, then go back and fix what isn’t excellent yet. Use the power of incremental, modular design as you help push the quality of our educational materials to new heights, surpassing even the very best in industry and academia. We’re always learning, always improving, always raising the bar in everything we do and ship.Maintain and improve our crystal-clear documentation\u00c2\u00a0so our knowledge resources stay up-to-date, easy to find, and provide instant value to our internal teams. Clarity is key. Any line of documentation should be self-explanatory.We’re proud to have assembled\u00c2\u00a0a remarkable team of unicorns\u00c2\u00a0who uplift, motivate, and push each other to excel daily. There’s a seat open for someone who shares our passion for excellence. Could that be you?About YouYou have at least\u00c2\u00a010 years of hands-on design experience. Thirty is not too many.You have a\u00c2\u00a0network among designers you respect, and you’re\u00c2\u00a0comfortable writing to someone you admire\u00c2\u00a0and presenting them with an opportunity.You know what the design community wants to see, and what it needs to learn.You’re kind, and you have the\u00c2\u00a0social intelligence and empathy to\u00c2\u00a0engage well with very different kinds of people. Much of this job is convincing busy, accomplished people that what we’re building is worth their time.You can show us something you built or led: a product, a design team, a course, an AI teaching app, or a conference track. We’re excited to hear what it was, your thinking behind it, how long it took you to create, what went wrong, and how you improved it.You can take a\u00c2\u00a0broad, complex design practice and turn it into a step-by-step learning sequence\u00c2\u00a0that’ll make a beginner feel and act confident. You can look at a plan for teaching something and\u00c2\u00a0see what’s missing\u00c2\u00a0before anyone builds it.You’re a\u00c2\u00a0practical idealist. You know how to create great results through incremental quick wins and MVPs, and you know when to go all in and make something perfect.You\u00e2\u0080\u0099re a\u00c2\u00a0forward thinker\u00c2\u00a0who isn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t afraid to innovate and try new things before others have.You\u00c2\u00a0collaborate with AI in everything you do. You use AI to research, structure, write, and create faster, and you know how to take\u00c2\u00a0human leadership, so the\u00c2\u00a0outcome is 100% yours\u00c2\u00a0and better than you could have created without AI.You\u00e2\u0080\u0099re\u00c2\u00a0eager to help people build UX and UI skills\u00c2\u00a0because you know they\u00e2\u0080\u0099re more relevant than ever in the age of AI.You can\u00c2\u00a0teach a career changer\u00c2\u00a0the powerful skills of great design, and you can\u00c2\u00a0guide an experienced designer\u00c2\u00a0in upskilling. Perhaps you’ve mentored people, or you\u00e2\u0080\u0099ve run your own company helping clients level up.You\u00c2\u00a0give constructive feedback people can act on, and you can tell a talented colleague how they can improve their work without them becoming defensive.You’re genuinely\u00c2\u00a0curious\u00c2\u00a0about how AI is changing design work and design education.You’re\u00c2\u00a0fluent in written and spoken English\u00c2\u00a0and you can explain complex ideas clearly.You\u00e2\u0080\u0099re enthusiastic about learning by doing and are\u00c2\u00a0committed to putting in the effort to continuously improve your skills.You\u00c2\u00a0spot problems\u00c2\u00a0before anyone else notices them, and when something goes off track you come back with a solution rather than a report.You\u00c2\u00a0value teamwork, prioritize collaboration, and focus on collective goals and harmony in the workplace.You’re\u00c2\u00a0self-motivated, and you love\u00c2\u00a0creative freedom,\u00c2\u00a0independent judgment, and the\u00c2\u00a0responsibility\u00c2\u00a0that comes with both.You\u00e2\u0080\u0099re driven by the desire to\u00c2\u00a0make a positive impact in the world\u00c2\u00a0and to improve the lives of others.If you still love designing in Figma and building interfaces with AI, there’s room for that here. Some of our Course Directors design hands-on; others have moved fully into direction. Both work for us.Most of the work happens from your\u00c2\u00a0home office,\u00c2\u00a0but you’re\u00c2\u00a0willing to travel a few times a year\u00c2\u00a0to shoot courses.You’re located in a\u00c2\u00a0time zone\u00c2\u00a0between UTC-6 (Austin, Chicago) and UTC+8 (Singapore, Perth), which includes all of Europe.Bonus PointsNone of these are required, but each of them would make us even happier.You’ve\u00c2\u00a0led a design team.You\u00c2\u00a0publish your own thinking on design: articles, a book, educational material, a blog, or a social media presence.You’ve\u00c2\u00a0spoken at design conferences, or you’re on a first-name basis with people who do.You’ve\u00c2\u00a0created design systems.

She and our other co-founder, Mads, built IxDF from nothing, with no investment capital, so we would stay free to make world-class design education affordable to everyone. She was the sole editor and video editor for many of our early years, so she’s shaped our course planning, expert interviews, video shoots, and content editing from the inside. She’s still hands-on in everything we do, and she still films educational videos herself, in places like the US, the North Pole, and Nepal.A\u00c2\u00a0full-time position\u00c2\u00a0within a fully remote organization. Video-based collaboration with your colleagues from elsewhere on the planet, and we get together in person each year, on a team trip or for a studio production.Bi-weekly\u00c2\u00a0knowledge-sharing sessions\u00c2\u00a0and 4 meeting-free days weekly for focused work.A work culture with no\u00c2\u00a0fluffy titles, political agendas, or corporate drama.

You’ll need\u00c2\u00a0crisp execution skills yourself\u00c2\u00a0and the ability to\u00c2\u00a0impress your colleagues with concrete results, just like they’ll impress you.We built online design education before people believed in it.
