You know which design skills are timeless and which ones expire. <strong>The human-centered design skills are where your heart is</strong>, and you know that AI will take over much of the tool-based design work soon.</p> <p>You see the fear around AI, and you understand where it comes from. But you also see the opportunities, and you want to show people how to work with AI in a way that benefits their lives, their users, and the world.</p> <p>You can name the <strong>ten leading designers</strong> who should be teaching the world’s best courses and Master Classes right now. You know what each of them does better than anyone else, and where their gaps are.</p> <p>Now you get the opportunity to decide what hundreds of thousands of designers learn next.</p> <p>The industry leaders whose expertise you'll be turning into courses and Master Classes include <strong>Don Norman and Vitaly Friedman</strong>, as well as Design Leads at <strong>Netflix, LinkedIn, Meta, and Adobe</strong>. Don Norman also chairs our executive board.</p> <p>You'll be involved in the entire process of creating our courses and Master Classes, and you'll lead many of the decisions, so there are incredible opportunities for you to <strong>take initiative, make meaningful contributions, and grow</strong>. Forget political struggles or long, pointless debates. You’ll be in a team with minimal distance between idea and action, where decisions are made ultra-fast.</p> <h2>Join the Global Leader in Online Design and AI Education</h2> <p>IxDF is the world's largest online design and AI education platform, with over 1,150,000 enrollments since 2002.

Here's what each role leads on:</p> <ul> <li> <p><strong>Our Course Directors, UX, UI, and AI</strong>: lead what we teach and who teaches our courses and Master Classes. You reach out to industry leaders and create the invitation they say yes to. You bring your judgment to a planned course outline: what's missing, what doesn't belong, and whether the structure is solid. You plan and shoot courses with our Education Designers. <strong>This is the role described here.</strong></p> </li> <li> <p><strong><a href="https://ixdf.org/about/careers/education-designer-ux-ui-and-ai">Our Education Designers, UX, UI, and AI</a></strong>: lead how design and AI are taught. You plan, structure, and create the core content, and you decide what a course participant should be able to do by the end and how they get there.</p> </li> <li> <p><strong><a href="https://ixdf.org/about/careers/course-writer-and-editor-ux-ui-and-ai">Our Course Writers and Editors</a></strong>: lead how our courses and articles read. You make each title engaging, ensure each sentence flows, and edit the written course experience from the user’s perspective.</p> </li> </ul> <p>We're a flexible team, and you'll be able to do what you excel in. Everyone on our team creates courses, and everyone works across these roles. If you're torn between two roles, apply for the one you'd be best at, and tell us in your application which other one you considered and why.</p> <p><strong>You, the Course Director</strong>, decide what belongs in our curriculum and who should teach it. You reach out to the world’s leading experts, plan the courses with them, and shoot courses with them. When an Education Designer brings you a course outline, you're the one who says what's missing, what doesn't belong, and how to optimize the learning outcome so designers can succeed today. You'll work closely with our <strong>Co-Founder</strong>, your <strong>Team Lead</strong>, our other <strong>Course Directors</strong>, and the <strong>Education Designers</strong>, and you'll plan and create courses alongside them. Our Course Writers and Editors take the finished material the last mile: the scripts, hooks, headings, on-screen text in videos, quiz wording, and editorial voice. You'll also work closely
