OUR COMPANY VALUES

Live & breathe learners

We deeply understand and empathize with our users. We leverage user insights, research, and experience to build content, products, services, and experiences that our users trust and love. Our success is defined by the success of our learners and educators.

Take a stand

As a company, we have conviction in our aspirational point of view of how education will evolve. The work we do is in service to moving towards that point of view. However, we also listen, learn and flex in the face of new data, and commit to evolving this point of view as the industry and our users evolve.

Embrace diverse perspectives

We are a diverse community. We seek out and embrace a diversity of voices, perspectives and life experiences leading to stronger, more inclusive teams and better outcomes. As individuals, we are committed to bringing up tough topics and leaning into different points of view with curiosity. We actively listen, learn and collaborate to gain a shared understanding. When a decision is made, we commit to moving forward as a united team.

Work responsibly and sustainably

We understand that achieving our audacious mission is a marathon, so we set realistic timelines and we focus on delivery that also links to the bigger picture. As a non-profit, we are supported by the generosity of donors as well as strategic partners, and understand our responsibility to our finite resources. We spend every dollar as though it were our own. We are responsible for the impact we have on the world and to each other. We ensure our team and company stay healthy and financially sustainable.

Bring out the joy

We are committed to making learning a joyful process. This informs what we build for our users and the culture we co-create with our teammates, partners and donors.

Cultivate learning mindset

We believe in the power of growth for learners and for ourselves. We constantly learn and teach to improve our offerings, ourselves, and our organization. We learn from our mistakes and aren’t afraid to fail. We don't let past failures or successes stop us from taking future bold action and achieving our goals.

Deliver wow

We insist on high standards and deliver delightful, effective end-to-end experiences that our users can rely on. We choose to focus on fewer things — each of which aligns to our ambitious vision — so we can deliver high-quality experiences that accelerate positive measurable learning with our strategic partners.

We are committed to equal employment opportunity regardless of race, color, ancestry, religion, sex, gender, gender identity or expression, national origin, sexual orientation, age, citizenship, marital status, disability, or Veteran status. We value diversity, equity, and inclusion, and we encourage candidates from historically underrepresented groups to apply.

THE ROLE

Imagine being a teacher in Sarasota, Florida with a classroom full of 6th graders who haven’t had a normal year of school or learning since before the COVID pandemic. It’s the reality of so many educators and students who use Khan Academy – and our team is uniquely positioned to help them when they need it most.

We have no end of fascinating challenges that can only be solved with a deep understanding of our users, diligent product & UX thinking, and a strong drive to make a positive impact. Some questions we’re working on answering right now are:

• How do we support teachers who are dealing with the impact that the pandemic had on learning?
• How do we help students with learning gaps catch up to their grade level?
• How do we center schools serving historically under-resourced communities in our product design and development?
• How do we reach more school districts so our learning experience gets used in more classrooms?
• …and more

The best part? Our work really matters: catch Sal talking to CNBC about low math and reading test scores.

We’re looking for a Product Designer to join our Content Platform team. Their goal is designing and shipping experiences for Global Content Creators who are at the center of the Khan Academy learner experience. The heart of this role is making the internal content creation experience more usable and efficient, which directly impacts our Content and Assessments teams. This is a contract role of 40 hr/week for 6 months at $60/hr.

You will drive design solutions in collaboration with the Content, Assessments, and Math & Science teams. Ultimately, we want your help updating legacy tools and designing new AI-driven internal-facing tools that enable Khan Academy internal teammates to rapidly generate content.

Some of the things you will work on:

• Sketch, mock up and prototype improved content creation tools using Figma and Figjam.
• Design solutions for rapidly creating AI-created assessment items.
• Develop content strategy and interaction design patterns that scale language translations to support international teachers and learners.
• Iterate on existing Math and Science widgets for time-sensitive pilot experiences.

You will play a vital role on an inclusive, small but mighty Design team, helping us fulfill the mission of the organization: to provide a free, world-class education to anyone, anywhere. We genuinely care about people and value compassion in our everyday interactions. You’ll be able to be yourself, feel valued, supported, learn and grow, no matter how experienced you are.

If you’re looking for the opportunity to shape the future of learning and ship high-quality products that solve real problems for learners and educators, please don’t hesitate to apply — we’d love to hear from you.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Design and deliver generative AI features and user-facing experiences for Content Creators
• Work closely with Product, Engineering, cross-functional teams and key stakeholders
• Play an active role in shipping outstanding experiences as a Design team
• Participate in Design team critiques and work with design colleagues in Research and Brand

WHAT YOU BRING

• Previous experience and/or interest in designing internal content creation  tools
• Strong generalist skills with strengths in information architecture, content strategy, and interaction design (please show us in your portfolio)
• Ability to juggle ambiguous and broad problems/opportunities along with smaller, well-defined projects
• Bias toward action, and can move quickly designing solutions that balance technical effort with a good experience
• Excited to become an expert in designing generative AI-driven products
• Bonus if you have experience designing educational products, content-forward experiences, and/or if you’ve worked in a K-12 classroom before

Qualities we value in ourselves, and those who join our team:

• Introspective, mature, low-ego, and emotionally intelligent
• Growth mindset, willingness to learn and to teach others
• Proactively seek out the people/information you need to move work forward and unblock yourself
• High comfort level working within a strong top-down product and pedagogical vision led by our CEO, Sal Khan, and our Chief Learning Officer, Kristen DiCerbo, PhD
• Able to balance the immediate tactical needs of helping deliver and ship features with scouting ahead for what’s next
• Comfortable with frequent change and ambiguous situations, like you’d experience in a startup
• Willing to roll your sleeves up and pitch in when a project goes off-script
• Excited about education and engaging learning experiences, deeply curious about how and why people learn
