Who We Are?

NovoEd’s talent development platform empowers organizations to design and deliver experiential learning that accelerates business performance on a global scale. Since the company’s founding at Stanford’s social algorithm laboratory in 2012, global corporations, executive education providers, and training firms have relied on NovoEd to develop high-value capabilities through purposeful practice and application, coaching and mentorship, and group collaboration. NovoEd’s proven approach to learning connects diverse groups of learners, mentors, and leaders in a high-impact online environment, unlocking your organization’s collective knowledge and driving measurable outcomes.

Who Are You?

Are you passionate about building meaningful digital products that solve hard problems and delight users? Do you believe in the power of learning to transform careers and companies? Are you interested in working with a talented, mission-driven team?

More importantly, do you thrive with ownership and autonomy? As a small, agile team, we’re looking for a Senior UX Designer who can independently lead design initiatives from exploration through implementation. Design is one of NovoEd's key differentiators. You’ll partner with a cross-functional team that values craft, collaboration, and outcomes. If you're excited by user-centered design, fast iteration, and having a strategic seat at the table, we’d love to talk.

What Will You Do?

Design scalable, collaborative, and social online learning experiences used by Fortune 500 companies, universities, and training organizations
Own 1-2 major projects at any time, serving as the design lead who shapes solutions from initial problem exploration through final implementation
Partner closely with the product management team to frame problems, define project scope, explore multiple design approaches, and make well-reasoned recommendations
Provide production-ready mocks and assets, and work closely with engineers to balance quality and feasibility
Conduct user research and usability testing to validate design decisions and understand user goals
When challenges arise, proactively align stakeholders, propose solutions, and adjust scope as needed
Help shape the future of our product by contributing to product strategy and roadmap discussions
