About the Role

We are Mentor a Promise, a nonprofit organization working with students in temporary housing. We want to create innovative solutions for our students and guide them in their with educational success. You will join a team of developers, data managers and designers to create educational apps. We are looking for a designer who has extensive UX and interaction design experience in large-scale, content-rich websites and who, at a minimum, has a strong eye for visual design fundamentals and user interface design. You’ll listen to, learn from, and lead volunteers - facilitating design strategy, presenting work, and providing consultative guidance. You’ll collaborate with MAP's strategy, content, and engineering teams to ensure that what we produce delivers results.

You will also be a valuable member of MAP's Constructive’s team, collaborating with company leadership to shape our strategies and practices. And you’ll get ongoing leadership coaching and support from our executive coach to build your leadership and management skills.

Your Core Responsibilities

Here are the primary activities and outcomes that MAP's is accountable for and by which your success and contributions will be measured.

  • Produce exceptional design work. You and your team consistently create UX and UI design that meets our standards, is aligned with strategy, and continuously sets the bar higher.
  • Shape our UX design practices. You ensure that the sitemaps, wireframes, and prototypes you and your team produce embody best practices and "next practices" in human-centered design.
  • Lead our design team. You manage, mentor, and elevate our design team-inspiring them, strengthening their skills, and continuously coaching them to seek greatness in their work.
  • Lead design strategy workshops. You translate brand and digital strategies into collaborative client workshops that produce mission-aligned brand experiences.
  • Lead client presentations. You present work persuasively, articulate how design solutions deliver on strategy, and steer critical conversations to balance the need to integrate client feedback with the need to advocate for effective design.
  • Collaborate across teams. You work closely with our strategy, content, and engineering teams-and our Creative Director- to ensure that design intent are faithfully translated into final deliverables.
  • Support resourcing and project health. You make design team assignments, contribute in resourcing meetings, and work with project managers to ensure that they have visibility into projects and that our design work is tracking to scope, budget, and timeline.
  • Build our design team. You secure the talent we need to produce the work that we and our clients expect, identifying talent for our team and building out our pool of freelance consultants.
  • Contribute thought leadership. You help our Marketing Lead produce thought leadership on design practices by sharing your ideas so that they can be turned into articles, webinars, and other content marketing.
