You've been designing long enough to have watched tools become essential and then disappear. You know which design skills are timeless and which ones expire.  The human-centered design skills are where your heart is , and you know that AI will take over much of the tool-based design work soon.

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.

You can name the  ten leading designers  who should be teaching the world’s best courses and Master Classes right now. You know what each of them does better than anyone else, and where their gaps are.

Now you get the opportunity to decide what hundreds of thousands of designers learn next.

The industry leaders whose expertise you'll be turning into courses and Master Classes include  Don Norman and Vitaly Friedman , as well as Design Leads at  Netflix, LinkedIn, Meta, and Adobe . Don Norman also chairs our executive board.

You'll be involved in the entire process of creating our courses and Master Classes, and you'll lead many of the decisions, so there are incredible opportunities for you to  take initiative, make meaningful contributions, and grow . Forget political struggles or long, pointless debates. You’ll be in a team with minimal distance between idea and action, where decisions are made ultra-fast.

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. Here's what each role leads on:

* 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.  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 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.

We're a flexible team, and you'll be able to do what you excel in. Everyone on our team creates courses, and everyone works across these roles. If you're torn between two roles, apply for the one you'd be best at, and tell us in your application which other one you considered and why.

You, the Course Director , decide what belongs in our curriculum and who should teach it. You reach out to the world’s leading experts, plan the courses with them, and shoot courses with them. When an Education Designer brings you a course outline, you're the one who says what's missing, what doesn't belong, and how to optimize the learning outcome so designers can succeed today. You'll work closely with our  Co-Founder , your  Team Lead , our other  Course Directors , and the  Education Designers , and you'll plan and create courses alongside them. Our Course Writers and Editors take the finished material the last mile: the scripts, hooks, headings, on-screen text in videos, quiz wording, and editorial voice. You'll also work closely with the video team and our growth team.

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 courses and Master Classes for people worldwide. You'll help them succeed in the age of AI with new skills in AI and in timeless human-centered design.

* You'll research what already exists in a topic area, so that what we build is genuinely unique. You'll look at  where design and AI are heading, what designers need  that nobody has taught well yet, and  what we should retire  because the field has already moved on.

* Find the people who should teach it.  You decide a topic is worth a course, you work out who should teach it and why, you write the email, and you get the yes. Then you plan the content with the industry leader and agree what the course must leave a learner able to do.

* Decide what each expert should teach.  The best designers know a great deal, and a course that tries to capture all of it becomes an information dump. You develop a point of view on what a designer genuinely needs from them, and you hold the course to it.

* You'll decide which skills our courses teach , both to people entering design and to experienced designers leveling up. Our goal is to help designers thrive in the age of AI and work responsibly, so their users can thrive too.

* Ensure our course participants finish each course with a solid portfolio project they can show a hiring manager.

* Help us decide what AI should do for our course participants . Personalized learning paths, constructive AI feedback on portfolio work, practice environments where people run real design tasks and get feedback. You'll also help us improve the user flows on our own platform, so that learning at IxDF is as well designed as what we teach. You'll work on this with our founders, designers, and dev team.

* Make an impact as you pressure-test the courses  our Education Designers plan. An Education Designer sends you a course outline, and you read it against everything you know about the field and about how people learn design, then give constructive feedback on what's missing, what doesn't belong, and where the structure can be improved.  You know the limits of your own expertise , and you research your way past them before you weigh in. You'll also plan, structure, and create courses yourself, alongside them.

* You're one of the people  whose judgment the rest of the team leans on.  You show our Education Designers what ten or twenty years in the field taught you to look for. In return, our Co-Founder, your Team Lead, and our other Course Directors give constructive feedback on the courses you lead. You'll work in a  diverse, highly organized, result-driven environment  where you'll grow personally and professionally.

* Act as guardian of our quality bar . When a course goes out under our name, it has to be better than anything else available on the topic. On the courses and Master Classes you lead or review, you're the one who spots what's not good enough yet and works with the team to fix it.

* Bring your subject matter expertise  to our writers, community managers, and social media team, so our design thinking stays consistent across everything we publish.…
