Job Description:
As the Principal Product Designer of a new initiative at Bezos
Academy, you will design educational products, experiences, and
solutions for children and families. You are a hands-on,
impact-driven visionary who will lead experience strategy and
product design with a small team of founders. Your work will
combine digital experiences for families with analog activities for
children. With a passion for design craft and a mission-driven
mindset, you will expand access to early childhood development
programs for families of all kinds. You have a track record of
designing end-to-end experiences that solve human problems. You
work resourcefully across platforms and mediums, using technology
for real world impact despite constraints on time and resources.
You have successfully led product discovery and shipped multiple
consumer-facing products in collaboration with product managers and
engineering. You are a builder with a customer mindset, preferring
working demos over perfect plans. You are adept at working from
scratch, resolving ambiguity, and iterating your way to customer
love. You have led all phases of the product/UX design process,
including discovery, strategy, experience design, and visual
design. You know exceptional work when you see it and you sow this
passion in others. You will find yourself in a fast-paced, start-up
environment where you will focus on inventing, measuring, and
iterating for children. You are equally motivated by great products
and great impact, deeply inspired by our mission to expand access
to early childhood education in under-resourced communities.
