You’ll have a front-row seat at one of the fastest-growing companies in educational technology, trusted by over 70% of schools in the USA and millions of teachers and students across the globe. In the process, you’ll be challenged daily, learn constantly, and see the impact of your work as a designer and manager.

Responsibilities

  • Collaborate with Product to understand teacher, student and business needs, and ensure the design team transforms these into powerful concepts and designs ready for implementation.
  • Collaborate with Growth to ensure continuous delivery of marketing materials for our blog, social media, email campaigns, merchandise and events.
  • Help the brand to evolve and consolidate through product, illustrations and video style guides.
  • Lead a team of one Visual and one Copywriter designer. Care, plan and work for the professional development of the team and recruit when needed.
  • Manage, assign and schedule tasks and projects properly to achieve all of the above.

Requirements

  • You're a talented, creative designer with more more than 3 years of experience in UX/UI and brand design.
  • You have at least 1 year of leadership experience managing a creative team.
  • You love learning new design approaches and techniques.
  • Experience in interaction design methods such as wire-framing, concept models, scenarios and user flows.
  • You can turn your visualizations into comprehensive designs.
  • Able to oversee and execute different projects at the same time, managing goals and deadlines effectively.
  • You're an excellent team player and you feel comfortable collaborating with anyone.
  • Excellent communication skills, both written and spoken, in English.
  • You show care and commitment and are constructive about design critiques.
  • You have an amazing online portfolio that you don’t mind sharing with us. A link to your online profile is required and applications without an online profile will not be considered for the position.
  • You have other passions besides design – maybe you play an instrument, knit amazing stuff or are into film!

Bonus Skills

  • Expert in Figma, Illustrator, Photoshop or After Effects.
  • Familiarity with agile development and lean start-up approaches.

Benefits

  • Competitive salary (40-55k), and equity and a substantial yearly salary review.
  • A fun, friendly team of highly-motivated people with different skill sets and backgrounds.
  • Macbook Pro and double monitor setup.

EDpuzzle is the easiest way for teachers to engage their students with videos. Over 7 million teachers and students around the world have already trusted us to help them in their classroom. 

We are a small team of very talented people distributed between San Francisco and Barcelona. We started over 3 years ago at ImagineK12, the first education incubator in the USA and now part of Y Combinator (where Airbnb and Dropbox were born). We are grateful for the support our teachers and investors give us every day. 



We empower teachers to make any video their lesson with a combination of our simple video-editing tools and powerful analytics about their students' progress. Teachers can turn any video into an engaging and effective lesson with just a few clicks and then always know which students understand that lesson, who needs help, if there are any misconceptions about the material, etc. thanks to our automatically gathered insights about their students. We work towards a day where every teacher and student will be just a click away from an excellent online education. Together we are building a pool of the best video lessons for the classroom.
