Senior Product Designer (Ux/Ui)

Xello is looking for a Senior Product Designer (UX/UI)

__

Who are you?

You are a seasoned product designer (UX/UI) who is eager to design experiences that will help over 5 million K-12 students achieve their potential in school, career, and life. You’re an expert in design flow and narrative, and quick to understand why your solutions are or are not working. You are a stickler for detail, but won’t let that get in the way of shipping products or trying new approaches. You likely have a multidisciplinary background and a passion for pioneering new ways to inspire wonder and connect audiences to stories, ideas, and information. Above all, you identify with our mission of helping students plan their successful futures.

As a member of Xello’s UX community, you’ll work in an agile environment with a network of external clients, internal stakeholders, and students. You will collaborate with other designers, content creators, researchers, and developers to create some of the most engaging and innovative products in the education market. Your skill at incorporating feedback from multiple rounds of revisions and testing will deliver an intuitive, high-quality user experience.
