UX Designer (6 month contract)

Moodle with us!

We're the world's most popular learning platform and we’re on a mission to empower educators to improve our world.

Due to a period of maternity leave cover, we are looking for a UX Designer to join our Services Delivery team on a 6 month contract, starting in late April or early May 2025. 

This role will be offered as an independent contractor agreement!

The position will work closely with Project Managers and Clients to complete various designing tasks for our Solutions/Services. They may frequently work on both Moodle and non-Moodle projects, all to the end of delivering the highest level of services for our clients and teams, and to serve the mission of Moodle. This role will leverage your expertise in the ability to understand and support in articulating our design solutions with your managers, and navigate through the service delivery cycle with tenacity and finesse will be key to success. You should be comfortable working in a fast-paced, evolving, and innovative environment.

What your new job can look like…

At Moodle, no two days will ever be the same, but most days in this role usually involve a mix of:

• Co-designing features and enhancements with developers, designers, and leads, following user centred design principles.
• Conducting research to understand user behaviour, needs, pain points, product improvements, and usability gaps in Moodle
• Ensuring alignment with Moodle’s UX processes, principles, and frameworks.
• Take on UX design efforts on projects from concept to delivery, ensuring designs meet both user needs and business objectives.
• Improve the usability, accessibility, and pleasure provided in the interaction with Moodle.
• Listen to, engage with, and invite inputs from the internal subject matter experts and other stakeholders.
• Understand the behaviours, needs, and motivations of Moodle users through observation techniques, task analysis, and other feedback methodologies.
• Collect, analyse, and summarise anonymous user data and trends from various qualitative & quantitative sources
• Identify opportunities for innovation and improvement within the UX design projects, driving initiatives to enhance user experience.
• Regularly communicate to discuss work, as well as to ensure expectations and progress are properly maintained.

We’d love to hear from you, especially if you can talk to us about your:

• Experience in a UX Designer or similar role as part of a larger team.
• Knowledge of current UX Design & Research strategies, best practices, tools and trends across both web and mobile platforms.
• User Experience, Interface, and Interaction Design methodologies and principles, design system libraries, user testing, and other practices that advance outcome delivery.
• Excellent experience with design & UX tools (Azure, Sketch, Zeplin, Adobe Suite, Figma, etc).
• Excellent time management and communication skills.
• Contribute actively to the overall team goals and projects while also being able to work independently and take initiative that would improve processes and outcomes. 

You’ll sweep us off our feet if you have:

• Experience with the art and the science of evidence-based design
• Experience working on a product that directly generates revenue or in the education/teaching space.
• Experience working with Devs to create handover assets like HTML/CSS.
• A strong eye for detail, and the ability to build and maintain quality relationships with multiple stakeholders. 
• A positive, intuitive and clear communicator (both written and verbal) with the ability to earn trust and credibility.
• Ability to manage their own workload to meet tight deadlines with competing priorities.
