Newsela is seeking to hire a Contractor based out of Latin America for Senior-Level Product Design Services. 

Scope of Services

  • This Contractor will own the design experience of the products within Newsela that help empower our content creators to develop the content teachers and students use. We're accelerating the evolution of these tools to help create different types of high-quality content, the type Newsela is well known for.
  • Understand and articulate user and business problems, and propose a range of thoughtful and creative design solutions.
  • Execute designs based on a strong understanding of current UX/UI best practices and expertise using industry-standard design tools/programs, always ensuring accessibility considerations are addressed.
  • Reporting to the Director of Product Design, you will partner closely with Design, Product, Engineering, UX Research, Data, Content, and Marketing to align on problems, define solutions, and ensure feasibility, by following our user-centric product design vision and culture.

  • You can leverage your knowledge of user pain points and goals, informed by research (quantitative and qualitative) to inform your design direction to effectively document your decision and specifications. 
  • You can provide and receive actionable feedback from a cross-functional team and understand the value of working cross-functionally and have a collaborative mindset.
