Job Description
Lead Product Designer enhancing the user experience of Everyday Speech's PreK-12 instructional platform. Collaborate cross-functionally to shape product design and research initiatives.
Responsibilities:
- Lead the product development team's design vision across the entire product, thinking holistically about the user journey, how the platform works, and helping ensure that decisions made across teams and product areas add up to an experience that is intuitive, connected, and coherent for users.
- Lead design on high-impact initiatives, including large-scale UX rethinks, information architecture work, and new product areas – producing interaction design, prototypes, and final visual design that contributes to the team's high standard of craft.
- Bring fresh perspectives and proactive creative thinking, identifying UX opportunities and proposing solutions before being asked, and exploring new directions for how the product looks, feels, and works.
- Lead user research efforts for the team, including study design, usability testing, and synthesis, and build systems that ensure user insights and product analytics flow continuously into design decisions.
- Contribute to and help mature shared design practices, including design system governance, component libraries, design review processes, accessibility standards (WCAG compliance), and documentation.
- Lead the team's adoption of AI tools in design workflows, identifying where AI improves speed, quality, or exploration, and helping the team incorporate interactive prototyping and emerging UX practices effectively.
- Be an engaged, generous teammate, participating actively in design critique, sharing feedback openly, and bringing a collaborative approach to problem-solving across the team.
- Work closely with cross-functional partners including Product Management, Engineering, Clinical, Content, Marketing, CX, and RevOrg. In a practical sense, this means collaborating with engineering day-to-day to ground design in what is technically feasible and efficient, partnering with Clinical to ensure the product experience truly works for educators and is clinically sound, and supporting RevOrg on internal tooling and admin experiences that simplify complex workflows.
- Model the kind of design practice we aspire to as a team: explaining your thinking, inviting critique, and caring deeply about the quality of the work.
Requirements:
- 7+ years of product design experience, with demonstrated growth into a lead or staff-level role.
- A portfolio that shows complex, systems-level UX thinking: how you approached ambiguous, hard problems, not just polished screens.
- Deep proficiency in interaction design, user research, and design systems, with experience in information-dense or instructional products a strong plus.
- Proven ability to mentor and elevate other designers, with examples of how your feedback has shaped someone else's growth.
- Comfort with quantitative and qualitative usability methods, product analytics, and using data to make and defend design decisions.
- Experience with AI-assisted design workflows, interactive prototyping, and a demonstrated interest in staying current on emerging UX practices.
- Strong written, visual, and verbal communication skills, with the ability to collaborate closely with engineers, product managers, and clinical stakeholders, and the ability to articulate design rationale in ways that land with each audience.
- Experience in or strong familiarity with K-12 EdTech, education technology, or similarly complex domain-specific products a plus.
Benefits:
- Cigna Health Insurance – 100% premium coverage for team members & dependents
- Dental & Vision Coverage – 100% premium coverage for team members & dependents
- 3% Employer-Match on 401(k)
- $50K Life Insurance / AD&D

- 16 Weeks of Paid Parental Leave
- Home Office Reimbursements
- Book & Learning Stipend
- Meaningful Employee Experience Initiatives
