We design experiences that fulfill our mission to "change the world by sharing the knowledge of innovators."

This role requires someone who can drop into any design challenge, quickly understand what stage it's in and what it needs next, and execute accordingly. You'll help define what excellent design feels and looks like for our team while shipping work that directly impacts millions of learners and the companies they work for.
