📋 Description

• As our first Product Designer, you’ll help shape the end-user experience of MCP’s software. • You’ll report to the Chief Innovation Officer and work most closely with our Product Managers and engineering team. • You’ll help establish how we design and do lots of hands-on design work, from journey maps to pixel-level UI to the copy in an error message. • Refine the end-to-end user experience. Map teacher, student, and administrator journeys; define information architecture; and design intuitive paths that hold up as the products grow. • Keep a clear-eyed view of where users get confused, rushed, or stuck, and design those moments away. • Wireframe and prototype before we build. • Produce quick wireframes so scope and behavior get debated cheaply in a sketch rather than expensively in shipped code, then build and validate high-fidelity, clickable prototypes for high-stakes flows. • Build and own the design system. Create and maintain a documented component library grounded in MCP’s brand and extended for product needs. • Bring our product design efforts in-house and establish design best practices.

🎯 Requirements

• You do the work yourself. You can take a flow from wireframe to high-fidelity to clickable prototype, and you’ve put your designs in front of real users to watch them struggle and succeed. • You ship pixels, not just opinions about them. • You think in systems. • You understand information architecture and design systems. • You build components that scale using auto-layout, variables, variants, and high-fidelity clickable prototypes that other designers can easily consume, and you keep a product from becoming a maze of nested menus as features pile up. • You test assumptions. You’ve run usability tests and know that watching five people use something teaches you more than guessing with certainty. • You write, too. You treat the words in the interface as part of the design. • You sweat the research - and the real-world constraints. • You can design web apps and learning experiences that are grounded in cognitive science learning principles. • You want to shape the world. You’re motivated to be part of something larger than yourself, and you believe the highest use of your craft is empowering others. • You have edtech experience, ideally K-12. • You have light front-end skills, enough HTML/CSS/JS literacy to inspect a build, tweak a value, and make handoff frictionless (bonus if you can prototype in code). • You’ve designed for young children and across wide age ranges.

🏖️ Benefits

• Employer-sponsored health insurance through CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield • Employer-sponsored dental and vision insurance and ancillary benefits through MetLife • Participation in Vanguard 403(b) deferred-compensation plan with 3% employer match • Paid Time Off, inclusive of: vacation/PTO (20 days), paid holidays, paid parental leave, sick and safe paid time off, "Me Days", and the ability to earn paid Comp time off • Annual budget for MCP-funded Continuous Learning for the program(s) you request (available after 6 months of continuous full-time employment) • FSA and Dependent Care FSA access • 1x Salary Life Insurance company-paid coverage • Access to Wishbone Pet Insurance Benefit • Ability to work remotely and to set your own hours (within reason)
