ABOUT THIS POSITION

We are looking for an empathetic and dynamic Product Design Manager to think strategically, see the big picture, lead a design team, and work closely with stakeholders across the company. The Product Design Manager will ensure that the design of our products, services, tools, and e-commerce experiences meet the specific needs of students, improve their outcomes, and sustain the health of our business within each of our verticals (driving, real-estate, healthcare, and beyond).

ABOUT ACEABLE 

Aceable is a mobile education platform designed to create affordable, engaging, and convenient online courses available across mobile devices. Built by former teachers, NASA engineers, and those passionate about education, our team is obsessed with helping people reach their life goals and milestones through online certification.

ABOUT THE PRODUCT & DESIGN TEAM

You are joining a product & design team that lives our core values, is ego-free and team-first. We obsess about our users, love asking why, and nerding out on all things product and design.

  • Think and act strategically as you and your team leverage user-centered design processes and principles across the organization to solve challenging problems
  • Ensure that Aceable’s design system continues to be developed, evolved, used, and maintained
  • Roll up your sleeves as needed as a player as well as a coach to help tackle high impact problems
  • Evangelize user-centric design and design thinking across the entire organization

WHAT YOU’LL NEED

  • A minimum of 8 years of experience as a UX or UI designer
  • A minimum of 3 years of experience leading multidisciplinary design teams
  • Experience bringing complex products from conception to reality, through every stage of the UX process, from research to production
  • A well-rounded understanding of user-centered design processes, as well as solid knowledge of user experience principles
  • Ability to advocate for student-centric design decisions to a diverse group of stakeholders
  • Ability to make practical use of design thinking in a fast-moving startup environment
  • NOTE: A current portfolio of design and leadership case studies required to be considered for this position

BONUS POINTS

  • Experience using prototyping tools to create low-fidelity user flows as well as high-fidelity, complex interactions
  • Experience with Sketch, Zeplin, Protopie (or similar prototyping tools), Zeroheight, development, and/or design system usage and maintenance a huge plus
  • Experience building great user experiences on both native (desktop and mobile) as well as web platforms
