About You

• You have at least 3 years of experience working in UX/UI design and have a keen sense of communication. As a result, you have up-to-date knowledge of what UX designers need to learn, upskill and grow their careers. 
• You have your finger on the pulse of what the UX community likes to read, watch and learn about, and you have enough content-creation skills to produce the kind of material that the community is seeking.
• Communication is an art you live and breathe. You know how to reach into the lofty heights where abstract ideas live—and bring them down to the “street level” so our students can hit the ground running with the valuable lessons you help them easily digest.
• You are an expert wordsmith with an eagle eye for the tiniest details and a keen ear for flow. 
• You have adequate graphic design skills to create image-based content to support social media and articles.
• You are used to managing diverse responsibilities, and you are adept at dividing broad duties into small, executable tasks without losing sight of your overall goal. “Getting stuff done” is your middle name.
• You are a practical idealist. You strive for perfection in everything you do, but you are keenly aware of the delays that can come with waiting for something to be perfect. You know how to create great results through incremental quick wins and MVPs, and when to go all in to create something perfect.
• You are results-driven and motivated by achievement and goals. Mediocrity gives you the chills.
• You have experience translating design know-how into documentation or reference material for other designers, or for people outside the design world. 
• You know that you will only accomplish your goals through solid judgement, hard work and diligence.
• You have strong social intelligence and empathy—and the ability to engage well with different types of people through writing.
• You have a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in User Experience, HCI, Information Technology, Communications or another related field—or enough industry experience in UI, UX and HCI in the absence of such an academic background.
• You speak and write in English with native fluency.
