Non-profit Organization Management
Responsibilities
Own end-to-end web design and digital experiences (visual design, responsive layouts, design system evolution) and collaborating with engineering to ensure timely execution and launch
Develop and execute strategic brand campaigns for major product launches, partnerships enablement, and events—translating complex technical concepts into compelling visual narratives for educators, developers, and district leaders
Design high-stakes creative materials including “sales” presentations, partnership collateral, and conference presence (ASU GSV, developer summits) that establish Learning Commons as a credible player in EdTech and AI
Conduct a comprehensive brand audit, assessing how the brand is performing after one year in market, gathering stakeholder feedback, and developing a refinement strategy for brand evolution and rollout based on real-world learnings and evolving market trends
Build scalable brand systems and toolkits—including audience-specific visual languages (developer vs. educator), self-service templates for GTM/Comms teams, and design governance—that enable our organization to grow without creative bottlenecks
Qualification
Required
8+ years of brand design experience with a strong portfolio demonstrating expertise across web design, brand systems, campaign creative, and digital experiences—ideally with examples of work in tech. Bonus for SaaS, AI focused, and / or mission-driven organizations
Deep web design fluency: You're highly skilled in responsive design, component libraries, design systems, and interaction design, and you're comfortable collaborating closely with engineers on technical feasibility, performance, and accessibility
Strategic and executional range: You can zoom out to conduct brand audits, develop visual strategy, and build scalable systems—then zoom in to execute pixel-perfect web designs, presentation decks, and campaign assets with equal craft quality
Startup mentality and high ownership: You thrive in ambiguity, move fast without sacrificing quality, and are energized by being the primary creative owner of major channels (web, campaigns, systems) rather than one contributor among many
Collaborative communication skills: You can articulate creative rationale to non-design stakeholders (PMM, Comms, Product, engineering), educate partners on brand best practices, push back diplomatically on unrealistic timelines, and build trust across cross-functional teams
Additional strengths that elevate your impact: You bring experience leading brand development or refresh initiatives from strategy through execution, feel comfortable using AI tools to accelerate and streamline your workflow, and can design effectively for technical audiences—translating complex concepts into clear, compelling visuals
