About Quizlet:

• Design core learning experiences used by 60M+ learners generating 1B+ interactions per week — work where a small improvement reaches more students than almost any product in education.
• Set the visual and experiential direction for the future of Quizlet, and ship it: working prototypes built with AI-assisted design and development tooling, not static mockups handed over a wall.
• Build and maintain design systems that span product, marketing, and internal tools — systems robust enough that contractors, PMs, and marketers can build with them without heavy oversight, and that evolve as the product does.
• Own how design learns — partner with user research, data science and product marketing to turn learner insight, market trends, and brand signals into design standards the whole team builds against.
• Execute high-visibility brand and marketing design when the work demands it: campaigns, feature identities, executive and board presentations, motion work, and launch moments.
• Transition into leading the design organization — hiring, developing, and managing designers and a contractor network across product and brand, and owning design quality company-wide, with final sign-off on the look, feel, and experience of everything we ship.
• Partner closely with product, engineering, marketing, and executive leadership to navigate competing priorities and keep design velocity high as the company moves fast.
• Champion an AI-first way of working across design — raising the bar for what one designer can ship and helping the whole team operate at that new speed.

• 15+ years of product design experience, including consumer products at significant scale, with a portfolio demonstrating principal-level craft and strong visual taste.
• Proven systems design ability: you've designed and maintained design systems spanning multiple surfaces that other contributors could pick up and run with.
• Fluency operating at both altitudes — setting design strategy and creative direction, and personally executing polished work at high velocity when the workload demands it.
• An AI-first design practice: you already use AI tools to design, prototype, and ship faster, and you're eager to push that further.
• Demonstrated ability to work cross-functionally — navigating difficult conversations and competing priorities across product, engineering, and marketing with low ego and high effectiveness.
• Comfort with the arc of this role: hands-on IC first, leadership second, in a small team where everyone builds.

• Brand marketing or creative direction experience — you've set brand strategy that ladders up to company vision, defined illustration systems, or led a rebrand.
• Agency background, with the range and speed that comes from building across unfamiliar categories.
• Motion design and animation chops.
• Experience managing and project-managing contract designers.
• A genuine interest in learning science and education — the "why" behind everything we build.
• Ambition to grow with the role: our five-year vision is that this person builds and leads the design organization of an AI-native company that redefines how the world learns.
