Course Writer and Editor at Interaction Design Foundation

IxDF - Interaction Design Foundation: Course Writer and Editor: UX, UI, and AI

Headquarters: Denmark

You're the one people trust with the words, whether you're writing them or fixing them. You noticed that you loved it, and that you were unusually good at it. You turn rough, complex ideas into words people understand.

Now you get the opportunity to work with some of the most respected designers alive and help share their knowledge with hundreds of thousands of learners around the world.

A great hook pulls your readers in, makes them see themselves in the topic, and shows them why it matters in their lives. That's your craft. Abstract ideas don't stay abstract for long, because you find the example that makes an idea concrete. You're structured and systematic, yet creative, and you'll rewrite a sentence six times until it says exactly what you mean.

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.

Join the Global Leader in Online Design and AI Education

IxDF 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 and make a meaningful impact on humankind.

At IxDF, we’re not just a company but a movement dedicated to making high-quality design and AI education accessible to everyone, everywhere.

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 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. This 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 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.

Your Role at IxDF

• Be 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 educational content for people worldwide.
• Make an impact as you decide how every course sounds: You finalize the scripts, hooks, headings, quiz wording, and editorial voice across everything we publish, and you give proactive feedback on the structure.
• You don't need a design background: Most of our writers and editors start without one. In your first year, you'll learn it from the inside, working through it sentence by sentence with the people who teach it.
• Write for a diverse, global audience: You will write for both experienced designers and those moving into design from other fields, often writing for non-native English speakers.
• Be the voice of IxDF: Represent a global movement dedicated to design education.
• Set and raise the standard for our assessments: Ensure correct answers prove understanding, not just recognition.
• Balance the big picture with the smaller details: Focus on one large course creation project per month, alongside small, continuous improvements to existing content.
• Turn expert material into lessons: Take one-hour Master Class transcripts and learning goals to create finished lessons.
• Collaborate on video content: Work closely with the video team, giving constructive feedback on on-screen text, b-roll, graphics, and animation.
• Find room for improvement: Analyze completion rates, learner feedback, and portfolios to iterate and improve existing material.
• Maintain documentation: Keep our internal knowledge resources crystal-clear and up-to-date.

Do You Share IxDF's Vision?

• Show the dream outcome: Help people imagine a future of creative, meaningful work and impact.
• Strengthen belief in success: Build confidence through real stories, practical case studies, and hands-on templates.
• Overcome barriers: Write in a way that's crystal clear, human, and motivating.

About You

• At least 4 years of professional writing or editing experience.
• A master communicator with a sharp eye for detail and strong skills in language, tone, and flow.
• Ability to take a complex idea and write it so a beginner gets it on the first read.
• You know how to hook someone with a title and a first line.
• Collaborate with AI in everything you do: You use AI to write, research, and create faster, while maintaining human leadership.
• Exceptional talent for creating structure and organizing processes.
• Genuinely curious about UX, UI, and how AI is changing design work.
• Kind, with the social intelligence and empathy to engage well with different kinds of people.
• Fluent in written and spoken English with exact grammar.
• Located in a time zone between UTC+0 (London) and UTC+4 (Dubai).

Bonus Points

• You've taught in classrooms or workshops, or created educational material.
• You have your own blog or social media page where you create and share original content.
• You’ve collaborated with video production teams.
• You've written quiz or assessment questions.
• You've worked with an LMS or an online learning platform.
• You hold a bachelor's or master's degree in communications, journalism, literature, or a similar field.
