IxDF - Interaction Design Foundation: Education Designer: UX, UI, and AI

Headquarters: Denmark
URL: https://ixdf.org/about/careers

You're a designer who has facilitated workshops or built online courses, and you noticed that you loved it and that you were unusually good at it.

You know how to make complex skills easy to learn, and how to guide people in applying their new skills. As one of our Education Designers, you'll structure and create the courses and Master Classes you lead. You've taught design or AI to hundreds of people. Now you get the opportunity to teach it to hundreds of thousands of learners around the world.

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.

The industry leaders whose expertise you'll be turning into courses and Master Classes include Don Norman and Vitaly Friedman, as well as Design Leads at Netflix, LinkedIn, Meta, and Adobe. Don Norman also chairs our executive board.

You’ll be involved in all stages of course and Master Class creation, including key decisions, so there are incredible opportunities for you to take initiative, make meaningful contributions, and grow. Forget political struggles or long, pointless debates. You’ll be in a team with minimal distance between idea and action, where decisions are made ultra-fast.

We're Hiring Three People for Our Editorial Team

We're growing, and three roles are open at the same time to build the next generation of our core educational product:

• 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. This is the role described here.
• 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.
• 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’s perspective.

Your Role at IxDF

• Be a core part of our Editorial Team: 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.
• Design for a diverse, global audience: Create content that serves both working designers looking to grow and people moving into design from other fields.
• Make an impact: Establish what a course participant should be able to do by the end of a course, then plan, structure, and create the core content that gets them there.
• Turn passive watching into active designing: Design exercises, portfolio activities, design templates, and assessments that ensure participants can apply ideas to their own projects.
• Set and raise the standard for assessments: Ensure correct answers prove understanding, not just recognition.
• Make expert knowledge understandable: Take raw expert video material and transcripts and turn them into educational material.
• Produce Master Classes: Reach out to industry leaders, invite them to create content, plan the sessions, and produce the live events.
• Collaborate on production: Plan course content with industry leaders and travel to professional studios across the world to shoot content (a few times a year).
• Work with video and growth teams: Provide feedback on on-screen text, b-roll, graphics, and animation to ensure engagement and accuracy.
• Balance big picture and details: Focus on one large course creation project per quarter, alongside small, continuous improvements.
• Find room for improvement: Use completion rates, learner feedback, and portfolio results to iterate and improve educational materials.
• Maintain documentation: Keep internal knowledge resources up-to-date and clear.
• Collaborate: Work with Course Directors, your Team Lead, and our Co-Founder to pressure-test structures and content.

• You can turn a broad, complex design practice into a step-by-step learning sequence.
• You can teach the same idea in different formats (workshops, written lessons, video).

• You collaborate with AI in everything you do, using it to research, structure, and write while maintaining human leadership.
• You know the difference between timeless human-centered design skills and tool-based skills.
• You can teach career changers and guide experienced designers.
