Responsibilities
- Own problems end-to-end - from discovery through to shipped product
- Design flows, systems, and interfaces that are simple, scalable, and high-quality
- Stay close to the customer - building a deep understanding of educators, schools, and internal teams, and how they actually work day-to-day
- Build and contribute to our research machine - continuously learning through interviews, observation, data, and real product usage
- Turn insight into action - shaping problems, validating direction, and informing what gets built (not just justifying decisions after the fact)
- Create fast feedback loops - testing ideas early through prototypes, conversations, and live experiments
- Prototype and validate ideas quickly, using modern tools (including AI-assisted ones)
- Bring ideas to life beyond static design - exploring interaction, logic, and behaviour in real environments
- Collaborate deeply with engineers and PMs, while increasingly contributing directly to implementation
- Use judgement to balance speed vs quality, shipping early and iterating often
- Synthesize and share learning - building shared understanding across the team, not letting insight sit in silos
- Mentor other designers and contribute to raising the bar across the team
- Shape how we work, as design continues to evolve at Zen
