Job Description

We’re Hiring: Senior Product Designer

We’re looking for a Senior Product Designer to lead end-to-end UX and product design across both our student-facing and university-facing platforms.

As EdVisorly’s dedicated in-house designer, you’ll partner closely with Product, Engineering, and company leadership to create elegant, intuitive experiences across mobile and web. You’ll work on everything from consumer-facing student workflows to complex operational tools used by university staff.

This role is ideal for a designer who thrives in fast-moving startup environments, enjoys owning work from concept through execution, and is excited to help define the future of design at a growing company. There is strong opportunity for this role to evolve into a design leadership position as the team expands.

What You’ll Do

  • Own design strategy and execution for both student and university-facing products across mobile and web

  • Lead design on new products from the ground up — we have multiple greenfield products in active development that will be your first priority

  • Translate complex workflows and data-heavy tools into elegant, intuitive experiences that instill confidence in both students and admissions staff

  • Collaborate with Product and Engineering to shape roadmaps, influence product direction, and drive high-quality outcomes

  • Begin building the foundations of a unified design system that scales across our product ecosystem

  • Conduct user research and usability testing to inform design decisions

  • Champion a user-centric mindset and help shape design culture across the organization

You Might Be a Fit If...

✅ You have 6+ years of product design experience with a strong portfolio that spans both mobile-first consumer apps and complex B2B or enterprise tools

✅ You have proven experience designing 0→1 products in early-stage, fast-paced environments

✅ You have demonstrated ability to own product design end-to-end — from discovery through polished execution

✅ You are comfortable working as a solo designer without a team around you, and effective at prioritizing your own work

✅ You are confident collaborating across departments and presenting design decisions to technical and non-technical stakeholders

✅ You have deep empathy for end users — students navigating a complex process, and university staff managing operations

✅ You have strong systems thinking with the ability to simplify complex workflows through intuitive UX

✅ You are a clear communicator who advocates for design and brings clarity to cross-functional collaboration

Bonus Points if you have...

⭐ Experience designing for AI-powered tools or workflow automation platforms

⭐ Familiarity with higher education, particularly enrollment, transfer admissions, or SIS/CRM integration design patterns

⭐ Experience building or contributing to a design system from scratch

⭐ Interest in eventually building and leading a small design team as EdVisorly grows

Why EdVisorly

✨ Be part of the fastest growing transfer platform for colleges and universities.

✨ Join a mission-driven team transforming how higher education supports students through AI and data.

✨ Work with humble, hardworking teammates who believe in doing things the right way — with integrity, teamwork, and excellence.
