Interaction Design Foundation - Course Writer and Editor UX UI and AI

You're the one people trust with the words, whether you're writing them or fixing them. You noticed that you loved it, and that you were unusually good at it. You turn rough, complex ideas into words people understand.
Now you get the opportunity to work with some of the most respected designers alive, and help share their knowledge with hundreds of thousands of learners around the world.
A great hook pulls your readers in, makes them see themselves in the topic, and shows them why it matters in their lives. That's your craft. Abstract ideas don't stay abstract for long, because you find the example that makes an idea concrete. You're structured and systematic, yet creative, and you'll rewrite a sentence six times until it says exactly what you mean.
You see the fear around AI, and you understand where it comes from. But you also see the opportunities, and you want to show people how to work with AI in a way that benefits their lives, their users, and the world.
If you're also curious about how great design and the responsible use of AI improve people's lives, read on. As one of our Course Writers and Editors, you'll shape how our courses and Master Classes read and flow.
The industry leaders whose expertise you'll be turning into courses and Master Classes include Don Norman and Vitaly Friedman, as well as Design Leads at Netflix, LinkedIn, Meta, and Adobe.
You’ll be involved in all stages of course and Master Class creation, including key decisions, so there are incredible opportunities for you to take initiative, make meaningful contributions, and grow. Forget political struggles or long, pointless debates. You’ll be in a team with minimal distance between word and action, where decisions are made ultra-fast.

We're Hiring Three People for Our Editorial Team
We're growing, and three roles are open at the same time to build the next generation of our core educational product. Here's what each role leads on:
- Our Course Writers and Editors: lead how our courses and articles read. You make each title engaging, ensure each sentence flows, and edit the written course experience from the user’s perspective. This is the role described here.

- Our Education Designers, UX, UI, and AI: lead how design and AI are taught. You plan, structure, and create the core content, and you decide what a course participant should be able to do by the end and how they get there.

- Our Course Directors, UX, UI, and AI: lead what we teach and who teaches our courses and Master Classes. You reach out to industry leaders and create the invitation they say yes to. You bring your judgment to a planned course outline: what's missing, what doesn't belong, and whether the structure is solid. You plan and shoot courses with our Education Designers.

We’re a flexible team, and you’ll be able to do what you excel in. Everyone on our team creates courses, and everyone works across these roles. If you're torn between two roles, apply for the one you'd be best at, and tell us in your application which other one you considered and why.
You, the Course Writer and Editor, own how our courses and Master Classes read: the scripts, hooks, headings, on-screen text in videos, quiz wording, and editorial voice across everything we publish. Our Education Designers hand you the structure and the exercises, and they'll often hand you draft headings and hooks along with them. The final wording is yours. You'll work closely with our Co-Founder, your Team Lead, the Education Designers, and the Course Directors, and you'll have a real say in what we make. You'll also work closely with the video team and our growth team.
Your Role at IxDF
- Be a core part of our Editorial Team. You'll collaborate with IxDF editors, video editors, and UX and UI designers as well as external industry leaders to create educational content for people worldwide. You'll help them succeed in the age of AI with skills in timeless, human-centered design and AI.

- Make an impact as you decide how every course sounds. The title people want to click, the first paragraph that hooks them, the on-screen words that make our learners remember and apply what our experts teach. Our Education Designers create the structure and draft the headings, hooks, and quizzes. You finalize the scripts, hooks, headings, quiz wording, and editorial voice across everything we publish, and you give proactive feedback on the structure.

- You don't need a design background. Most of our writers and editors start without one, and that can be an advantage because you're coming to design the way many of our learners do. In your first year you'll learn it from the inside, working through it sentence by sentence with the people who teach it, until you know what a course participant needs.

- Write for a diverse, global audience. Some of our courses and Master Classes serve experienced designers who want to grow into more senior work. Others serve people moving into design from other fields, and many are not reading in their first language. Often, you'll write for all of them at the same time. Getting that balance right without watering anything down is a rewarding editorial challenge.

- Be the voice of IxDF. Our reputation lives in every sentence we publish, and many of those sentences will be yours. Represent a global movement dedicated to design education, and take pride in it. It's a big responsibility, and a rewarding one.

- Set and raise the standard for our assessments, so a correct answer proves understanding, not just recognition, and a good question teaches as well as tests. Our Education Designers decide what a question has to test. You write the wording that does both.

- Balance the big picture with the smaller details. Expect to focus on one large course creation project per month, alongside small, continuous improvements to what's already published. You'll also write and edit articles, course descriptions, and supporting material, and help our Growth team and our two founders get the voice right in campaigns and social copy.

- Turn expert material into lessons. Once you've built an understanding of design, you'll take a one-hour Master Class transcript and the learning goals for what the lesson must teach, then turn the strongest sections into a finished lesson. We produce 3 Master Classes per month, so new expert material arrives continuously.

- Our courses combine written and video lessons. You'll work closely with the video team, giving constructive feedback on on-screen text, b-roll, graphics, and animation, and telling them which takeaways need a visual, so each video is more engaging to learn from.

- Find room for improvement by looking at completion rates, learner feedback, and the portfolios learners produce, then go back and fix what isn't excellent yet. Small, incremental edits are why our material surpasses even the very best in industry and academia. We're always learning, always improving, always raising the bar in everyt
