Shape the Future of AI in Education

Want to lead design at a fast-growing, AI-driven education platform? We’re looking for a Senior or Lead Product Designer to take charge of UX/UI, elevate the design culture, and help shape the future of learning for high school students in Australia and the US.

If you’re a seasoned Senior Product Designer ready to step up, or an established Lead Product Designer, this is your chance to combine hands-on design with leadership and strategy, all while working on cutting-edge AI-driven products that make a real impact.

What You’ll Do

🎨 End-to-End Design Excellence

  • Own the design process from research to high-fidelity UI and developer handover.
  • Create intuitive, engaging experiences with a strong focus on UI, UX, and interaction design.
  • Bonus points if you’ve worked with gamification or interactive learning experiences!

πŸ‘₯ Leadership & Mentorship

  • Lead and mentor a growing team of designers and contractors.
  • Be the primary hands-on designer for key projects while ensuring quality across the team.
  • Work closely with stakeholders to align design with business goals.

🀝 Collaboration & Communication

  • Bring teams on the journey: pitch ideas, advocate for user needs, and champion design thinking.
  • Collaborate with developers, product managers, and researchers to drive the best outcomes.
  • Help shape the design culture in a fast-growing company.

πŸ” AI & Product Passion

  • Design for AI-driven experiences that replicate one-on-one education moments.
  • Understand how AI can enhance learning and create engaging, effective educational tools.
  • Stay curious, experiment, and push boundaries in ed-tech design.

βœ… Experience with gamification or interactive design (a plus!).

βœ… Strong communicator β€“ You can articulate design decisions clearly and get buy-in.
