## Description

We're looking for a passionate, player-empathetic designer who can develop clear, end-user experiences for children and their parents. The Lead UX Designer will work across all of ABCmouse's game experiences: improving existing learning activities, developing and optimizing parent-facing features, and supporting new feature development-while keeping the learning needs of young children at the center of every decision.

The ideal candidate has a background shipping strong UX designs, ideally in an educational or casual gaming space, with data-informed product thinking. We're looking for action-oriented and producer-minded candidates, comfortable driving work from a rough idea all the way to launch, and energized by the challenge of making education feel like play.

Responsibilities:

 * Create high-quality UX flows, wireframes, prototypes, and visual specs in Figma that communicate design intent clearly to engineering and product partners
 * Use product data, user research, and competitive analysis to identify opportunities for improvement and validate design decisions
 * Collaborate closely with producers, engineers, educators, and artists to bring features from inception to shipped product
 * Champion the end user-primarily children ages 2-10 and their parents-throughout the design process, advocating for age-appropriate, accessible, and delightful experiences
 * Maintain a deep understanding of the ABCmouse product, user base, and competitive landscape to proactively surface improvement opportunities
 * Leverage AI tools (e.g., Claude, Sc, or similar) to accelerate design exploration, prototyping workflows, and launch of designs to our end users at high quality
 * Partner with data teams to pull and interpret metrics that inform ongoing feature refinement and live-service decisions
 * Contribute to design system standards and best practices for game design across the ABCmouse product and within AI tools and workflows
