Senior Product Designer
We’re looking for a senior product designer to join our team to help rethink our educational and learning tools. You'll be a key touchpoint of SuperHi's product team, as well as a mentor to students in our Slack community. You will help play a leading role in reimagining our current products and using evidence-based data to inform brand new products we're working on. If you love to help thousands of creative people improve their skills, we would like to meet you!
SuperHi’s mission is to make creative education better designed. We give creative and curious people the tools and techniques to bring ideas and work to life online. We teach practical skills and build our students confidence in code, design, and managing digital projects successfully (+ more to come). We think that education should be accessible to all, whatever your financial situation; that we won’t know how good technology can be until everyone has equal chance to participate; that diverse backgrounds and experiences working in the creative industries is crucial; that complementing whatever you're good at with new skills is a clear advantage; and that learning should be practical, fun as well as stress-free for the best chance to make it stick. We think that we should all work harder to ensure skillsets are distributed representatively in the creative and tech industries. We're proud and humbled that our current students are 51% female, 1% non-binary and 48% male from a wide range of backgrounds and over eighty countries. They make amazing things and we also get better learning outcomes because we're online-first. We’re a proudly remote team with people located in New York, London, Inverness, Stockholm, Lisbon and Vancouver.
