EDGE Tutor: The Human Edge in Digital Learning.

About the Role

We are looking for a UI/UX Consultant to help design and refine the user experience across our growing product ecosystem, including:

• Client-facing portals (white-labeled solutions)

• Tutor platforms

• Internal operational dashboards

• Booking, assessment, and session flows

This role goes beyond visual design. We are looking for a systems thinker who can conduct structured research, design scalable user journeys, and help shape product architecture from discovery through implementation.

You will work closely with the Tech & Product team on system logic and implementation, while collaborating with Marketing/Brand to ensure visual consistency.

Key Responsibilities

1. Research & Discovery (First Principle)

• Conduct structured user research (interviews, journey mapping, usability testing)

• Analyze user behavior and friction points across parent, tutor, recruiter, client admin, and ops journeys

• Identify workflow inefficiencies and opportunity areas before proposing design solutions

• Translate research findings into clear UX hypotheses and design frameworks

2. Product & UX Strategy

• Translate business and operational requirements into structured user flows

• Design end-to-end journeys (parent, tutor, recruiter, client admin, ops teams)

• Define interaction models and scalable UX systems

• Propose system-level improvements aligned with commercial and operational goals

3. Wireframing, Prototyping & Visual Fidelity

• Create low- and high-fidelity wireframes in Figma (mobile + desktop)

• Design interactive prototypes for validation and stakeholder alignment

• Apply strong visual hierarchy, spacing, and typography principles

• Translate EDGE Tutor brand guidelines into scalable UI components

4. Client Turnkey Solutions

Our client engagements fall into two distinct categories:

A. Integrated Environments

Some clients already have fully built systems. In these cases, we must:

• Design within existing technical constraints

• Improve UX without disrupting core architecture

• Clearly define system boundaries between client and Edge systems

B. Full Turnkey Builds

Other clients expect us to design and structure entire systems from scratch, including:

• Scheduling portals

• Assessment systems

• Booking and credit logic

• Multi-role dashboards

You will help design both types of environments.

5. Collaboration & Implementation

• Work closely with Product, Engineering, Ops, and Marketing

• Prepare dev-ready Figma files (Auto-layout, Components, Variables, annotations)

• Participate in sprint discussions to ensure design intent is preserved

• Support iterative product refinement post-launch

Work Setup

• Engagement: Freelance Consultant

• Work Mode: Remote, flexible

• Growth Path: High-performance contributors may transition into a full-time permanent role

Required Skills & Experience

• 3+ years in UI/UX or Product Design

• Strong portfolio demonstrating end-to-end product thinking (not just landing pages)

• Advanced Figma proficiency (Auto-layout, Components, Variables, Prototyping)

• Experience designing dashboards, portals, and multi-role systems

• Strong research capability (usability testing, structured discovery)

• Experience collaborating closely with engineering teams

• Ability to clearly articulate and defend design rationale

Nice to Have

• Experience in EdTech or SaaS

• Experience with white-labeled B2B or enterprise platforms

• Familiarity with API-based system integrations

• Understanding of front-end constraints (HTML/CSS/React concepts)

What We’re Looking For

• Systems thinker, not just a visual designer

• Research-first mindset

• Comfortable working in ambiguity and structuring early-stage products

• Detail-oriented yet commercially aware

• High ownership and strong execution speed
