Advocate for user-centered design principles and ensure all output enhances the user experience and behavior. Conduct and partner on research, usability testing, and competitive analysis to inform and refine design decisions. Push the boundaries of design by staying current with industry trends, emerging technologies, and best practices. Present design concepts and strategies to leadership and stakeholders, clearly articulating rationale and impact. Understand and appreciate that Nerdy is an apolitical company and that we can have the largest impact if we are united in our focus on helping people learn and not divided or distracted by advancing unrelated causes. Qualifications 10+ years of experience in design, with a strong background in digital product, brand, or marketing design. Proven track record of leading high-impact design projects and influencing strategic decisions and portfolio of high-quality output. Expertise in design tools such as Figma, Sketch, Adobe Creative Suite, and prototyping tools. Strong understanding of UX/UI principles, accessibility standards, and human-centered design. Experience contributing to and maintaining scalable design systems. Excellent leadership, communication, and presentation skills, with the ability to inspire and influence teams. Strong problem-solving mindset, balancing creativity with business objectives. Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced, evolving environment.
