Your Role

As our Learning Experience Designer, you will own how young people learn in our programs. Success means more of them start what you design, finish it and leave with skills they can put to work.

The role is hands-on and runs from the first concept we pitch to the design that goes into production. Once a program is live, you will study how it performs and use what you learn to make the next one better. You will work closely with our partnerships, program, creative and product teams, and the standards you set will shape every new program we launch.

What you will do

Strong concepts for every partner pitch

• Translate partner goals into program concepts with a clear learning proposition and a compelling experience for young people.

• Shape each concept with our partnerships team, drawing on input from program managers and our creative team.

• Collaborate with our product team to ensure that you ground every concept in what the Goodwall app can deliver, and flag early where new capability is needed.

Programs young people finish

• Research each program's topic and audience, so every design is relevant, credible and built around how young people learn.

• Design the full learning experience for each program, from learning outcomes and structure to activities, assessments and the path to a credential.

• Apply proven learning design and gamification techniques to keep every program clear, mobile-first and motivating.

• Refine each design with program managers and partners until it is signed off, then support our creative and production team as they produce it.

Better results with every launch

• Meet regularly with program managers to review how each program’s content formats, visuals and challenges are landing with young people, drawing on the insights and feedback they share.

• Engage with our community of young people through surveys, testing and direct conversations to understand what resonates and what needs to change.

• Stay on top of research and best practice in learning design, edtech and youth engagement, and bring the strongest ideas into our programs.

• Turn these insights into design improvements for future runs and new programs.

A consistent learning and visual standard across programs

• Support the creative team in setting the standard for the formats and visual style used in program content, working closely with our content lead so every program is consistent and recognizably Goodwall.

• Use visual communication to make learning clearer, so key ideas are quicker to grasp and easier to remember.

• Support and provide input in the building and maintenance of design templates, patterns and guidelines that new programs start from.

• Contribute to our Program Design Playbook so what works is captured and shared.

Programs and product moving together

• Work alongside our Product team as each program is built, so it makes full use of the app's features and gives young people a smooth, connected experience from start to finish.

• Build feedback loops between programs and product, turning what learners do and say into clear, prioritized input for the product roadmap.

• Pilot new product features through programs and report back on what works, so product decisions are shaped by real learner behavior.

• Stay close to the roadmap, so upcoming features inform program design early and programs are ready to use them at launch.
