About the role
Scholarly is hiring its first full-time designer. As our Founding Product Designer, you'll own how Scholarly looks, feels, and works - from the data-dense screens administrators live in every day, to the faculty-facing experiences that need to just work, to the website and materials that introduce us to new institutions. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- 7 or more years of product design experience, with a portfolio that shows complex, workflow-heavy or data-dense products shipped to real users
- Experience building or significantly evolving a design system
- Hands-on user research experience - you've planned and run your own studies
- Working knowledge of front-end code (HTML, CSS)
- Brand or marketing design experience is a strong plus
- Experience in higher education, healthcare, HR, or other enterprise/regulated software is a plus, but not required
