As a Senior Product Designer, you will be a foundational member of the Efekta Design Studio, driving the visual language and interaction model for our core learning platforms across mobile and web. Your expertise will bridge pedagogy, visual craft, and technology to bring learning to life through elegant, emotive, and accessible designs and content.

What You'll Be Building (Key Responsibilities & Outcomes)

Design Systems & Unification

• Establish and scale the visual design system, motion principles, and component libraries that unify Efekta’s learning ecosystem, ensuring unparalleled quality and consistency across every platform.
• Contribute to the global design language of Efekta, setting the standard for scalable design excellence and platform-agnostic performance.

Creative Craft & Execution (Deep Specialization)

• Lead the creative development of visual themes for content, learning interfaces, and AI characters to ensure engagement and express the EF brand identity in innovative ways.
• Design and ship emotionally impactful digital learning experiences on web and mobile, maintaining the highest standards of accessibility and visual fidelity.

• The Systems Thinker: You thrive in both high-level vision setting and pixel-perfect execution, capable of balancing expansive imagination with the precision required to build scalable design systems.
• The Tool Power User: You leverage expert-level proficiency in Figma and the Adobe Creative Suite, actively leveraging generative AI tools to accelerate creative output.
• The Collaborative Force: You are organized, articulate, and communicative, seeking out close, cross-functional partnerships to deliver high-impact user experiences.

• Expertise: Expert-level proficiency in Figma and the Adobe Creative Suite, with a mastery of visual and motion design.
• Systems: Proven history of creating, maintaining, and scaling design systems and visual languages.
