UI / UX Designer

As part of an exciting new project, OSG is building an open sourced accessible course authoring tool.  Organizations are relying on digital and online training more than ever, however, creating courses and content that are accessible to individuals of all abilities remains a difficult task that is reserved for a select few with niche training. Because of that, most courses are not truly accessible. We are embarking on a journey to remove the barriers to creating accessible digital content by developing an easy-anyone-can-do-it authoring tool that inherently embraces accessibility.  While we will be embracing this tool within our own Curriculum department, we also wish to freely share it with others.

We’re looking for an experienced UI/UX Designer with the ability to thrive within a newly formed team with fluid processes and an evolving roadmap. This person will play a big part in building an exciting, innovative product from the ground up, and will enjoy all of the creative freedom that comes with new product development.  As a remote first organization, this is a work from home opportunity. 

*Please note, there is one position available - multiple locations posted for sourcing purposes only*

What will you do in this role?

• As the sole UI/UX Designer on the team, this person will play a key role in determining and developing the end-to-end look, feel and functionality of the tool and the courses it can create with a focus on accessibility 
• Research, plan, design and document product development
• Review implementation and provide actionable feedback

What can you bring to the table?

• Bachelor's Degree or equivalent in multi disciplinary backgrounds such as computer science, information sciences, human/ computer interaction
• 5+ years on-the-job experience, as a UI/UX Designer collaborating with cross disciplinary teams in a busy environment
• Strong conceptual/creative thinking and design execution abilities in both visual and interactive design
• Knowledge of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for rapid prototyping and supporting front-end developers
• Solid understanding of WCAG and accessibility best practices with the ability to create accessible products
• Storybook/Design guide development and experience working with e-learning platforms is a strong plus
• A portfolio for review

What’s in it for you:
