As a Product Designer at Frontline Education, you’ll help create intuitive, engaging, and meaningful experiences that empower K-12 educators and administrators.

Working as part of an empowered product team, you’ll explore user needs, shape problem definitions, and co-create solutions that make measurable impact for both our customers and our business. You’ll collaborate closely with Product Managers and Engineers to bring ideas from discovery through delivery — applying design thinking, research, and prototyping to ensure what we build truly solves the right problems in the right way.

How You’ll Drive Success

• Iterate quickly based on feedback, balancing user needs, business outcomes, and technical realities.
• Contribute as a core member of an empowered product team — working side by side with Product and Engineering throughout discovery and delivery.
• Use analytics, feedback, and experimentation to measure design impact and inform iteration.
• Champion user-centered design and accessibility standards across all initiatives.
• Stay curious about emerging technologies like AI and automation, exploring how they can elevate user experience and drive innovation.

What You Bring to Help Us Grow

• 2–5 years of experience designing enterprise SaaS products.
• Ability to translate complex workflows into simple, intuitive interfaces.
• Strong interaction and visual design skills, with fluency in Figma, Sketch, or similar tools.
• Experience conducting or collaborating on user research and usability testing.
• Understanding of accessibility (WCAG) and design system best practices.
• Excellent collaboration and communication skills across product, engineering, and business teams.
• Comfort working in an agile, fast‑paced, and feedback‑rich environment.
• A growth mindset — open to learning, iterating, and evolving your craft.
• Curiosity and excitement about AI — eager to explore how emerging technologies can improve experiences for users and teams.

What You’ll Need to Thrive

• Empathy for users and a deep desire to understand their challenges.
• Confidence navigating ambiguity and helping teams discover the right problems to solve.
• A collaborative spirit that values shared learning and co‑creation.
• Curiosity about new tools and approaches that make design smarter and more impactful.
• A balanced mindset that combines creativity, systems thinking, and thoughtful use of technology.
