Role As a Senior Product Designer, you’ll join a globally distributed design team at a pivotal time, playing a foundational role in creating a new design language and system from the ground up based on our branding. You’ll co‑own the design system working closely with your partners in the engineering team, sitting at the intersection of design, product management, and engineering. You’ll help us rethink how we build and deliver experiences, including AI‑enabled prototyping, so we can ship better on‑brand, consistent, responsive, accessible experiences at speed. You’ll use the design system you build to design new features within Blackboard such as AI‑powered learning and the future of assessment. Blackboard is an industry‑leading learning platform. The quality of the experience matters deeply, and this is a rare opportunity to help define and shape how Blackboard will look, feel, and scale for years to come.
