You're a designer who has facilitated workshops or built online courses, and you noticed that you loved it and that you were unusually good at it.

You know how to make complex skills easy to learn, and how to guide people in applying their new skills. As one of our Education Designers, you'll structure and create the courses and Master Classes you lead.

You've taught design or AI to hundreds of people. Now you get the opportunity to teach it to hundreds of thousands of learners around the world.

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.

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 all stages of course and Master Class creation, including key 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 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. This is the role described here.

•
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.

•
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 Education Designer, establish what a course participant should be able to do by the end of a course. You create the sequences, exercises, templates, and assessments. You'll work closely with our Co-Founder, your Team Lead, and the Course Directors, who lead on what we teach and who teaches it, and you'll have a real say in both. We all reach out to and collaborate with industry leaders in these processes. Once your course is ready, our Course Writers and Editors take it 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.

•
Design for a diverse, global audience. Some of our courses and Master Classes serve working designers who want to grow into more senior work. Others serve people moving into design from other fields. Often, you'll teach both in the same lesson. Getting both right without watering either down is a rewarding design challenge.

•
Make an impact as you decide how the courses you lead come together. You establish what a course participant should be able to do by the end of a course, then you plan, structure, and create the core content that gets them there. What comes first, what builds on what, and how people level up step by step with ease and joy from confused to competent. You'll work across UX design, human-computer interaction, design thinking, UI design, psychology, and AI.

•
Design the exercises, portfolio activities, design templates, and assessments that turn passive watching into active designing. You write the exercises that make a course participant apply an idea to their own portfolio project, the templates that scaffold that work, and the assessments that reveal whether they understood and can apply it, or whether they just watched. You write the headings and hooks your structure calls for, and our Course Writers and Editors own the final wording. Every course should leave a participant
