Imagine waking up each day excited for work, knowing your words and support help shape the futures of learners across the globe. If you’re a passionate communicator who thrives in both structured systems and creative writing, then we have an exhilarating opportunity for you at the IxDF (Interaction Design Foundation)!

We’re now looking for an Admin and Support Specialist who’s also ready to grow: someone who will start by supporting our members through written communication and internal operations, and who will gradually step into the world of content and course creation.

Join us, and you won’t just be changing jobs—you’ll be elevating your career on a global scale. At IxDF, we’re not just a company; we’re a movement dedicated to making high-quality design education accessible to everyone, everywhere.

With team members and learners from over 100 countries, your role at IxDF will have a worldwide impact. From engaging with diverse cultures to contributing to a platform that reaches millions, your daily activities will be anything but ordinary.

Your place in the IxDF Universe

• Correspond daily with members and prospective learners across multiple channels—email, chat, and social media—providing quick, accurate responses to their questions. You’ll troubleshoot issues, offer guidance, and ensure a seamless user experience.

• Collaborate with our Editorial Team on a variety of writing and editorial ad-hoc projects.

• Maintain and improve documentation by ensuring that our knowledge resources are up-to-date, easy to access, and provide value to both our internal teams and learners. Your work will directly contribute to helping others succeed.

• Shape internal processes that directly impact engagement and key performance indicators (KPIs). You’ll analyze workflows and recommend improvements to help us provide even better services for our members.

• Update our internal knowledge base and contribute to department-wide initiatives focused on knowledge sharing. You’ll ensure that important insights and best practices are easily available to all, driving continuous improvement.

• Communicate and collaborate effectively with other teams to relay customer needs and insights. By sharing valuable feedback, you’ll help us maximize retention, improve member satisfaction, and drive growth.

• Embody our values as you are often the first point of contact for our community. You’ll play a key role in welcoming and supporting members, helping our foundation grow and strengthen through meaningful interactions.

• Take full accountability for your tasks, managing your responsibilities with independence and self-discipline. You’ll consistently deliver high-quality results, meet deadlines, and maintain focus while balancing multiple priorities with minimal supervision.

• In time, we’ll help you upskill so you can help create world-class educational materials—in the form of highly engaging articles, design templates, portfolio exercises, videos, and much more. This will allow you to participate in the editorial processes behind creating courses for tens of thousands of learners worldwide.

Do You Share the Vision of IxDF?

People don’t just buy our courses; they invest in a better version of themselves. That’s why every sentence we write, from a support message to a course description, must do more than just inform. It must reflect what we believe in as a brand, and speak to the heart of our learners.

• Show the dream outcome: Help people imagine a future of creative, meaningful work, freedom, fulfillment, flexibility, and impact through great design.

• Strengthen belief in success: Build confidence through real stories and practical examples. People should feel, “If they did it, I can too.”

• Overcome barriers: Write in a way that’s simple, human, and motivating. No jargon. No overwhelm.

Your writing won’t just explain, it will inspire, energize, and support. Whether it’s a member support email, a help article, or a piece of educational content, your words will give our members clarity and confidence in our IxDF brand.

About You

• You’re an expert wordsmith with an eagle eye for the tiniest details and a keen ear for flow.

• You are fluent in written and spoken English with great writing skills, perfect grammar and an appreciation for the power of tone, brevity and microscopy.

• You thrive in a fast-paced environment where you handle ad-hoc projects of varying complexities with ease and enthusiasm.

• Attention to detail and thoroughness come naturally to you. You enjoy ensuring that every task is completed with care and precision.

• You relish solving problems—especially the ones that haven't even been noticed yet. Meeting specific needs of different people brings you satisfaction, and you enjoy proactively addressing challenges before they arise.

• You take full ownership of tasks, knowing what it means to see something through to completion and deliver high-quality results.

• Resilience is one of your strengths, and when things go off-track, you bounce back quickly, offering valuable solutions to move forward.

• You are highly self-disciplined, thriving in a flat hierarchy where you enjoy the freedom and minimal supervision that comes with it.

• You are located within a time zone from Europe (UTC+0) to East Asia (UTC+8), making it easy to collaborate with our global team.

Bonus Points

• You have a genuine curiosity about user experience (UX) design and are interested in how it can improve the quality of life for people around the world.

• You have your own blog or a social media page where you create and share articles or other forms of original content.

• You love making complex concepts accessible, and you enjoy teaching or explaining ideas in a way that’s engaging and easy to understand.

• You have an exceptional talent for creating structure, and you take pride in organizing processes and tasks in a way that’s efficient and clear.

What We Can Offer

• A highly valued role: Many organizations undervalue admin and support employees, but at IxDF, you’ll be joining one of our most valued and cherished teams. Your contributions will be recognized as essential to our success.

• Opportunities for growth and impact: At IxDF, you’ll have room to grow professionally while making a real difference. You’ll contribute to projects that directly impact our global community, adding value to the educational experience of thousands of learners.

• A Global, Purpose-Driven Team – Work alongside passionate professionals from all over the world, united by a common mission.

• Engagement with a Thriving Global Community – You’ll have the opportunity to support and interact with our local groups, educational partners, and community initiatives. Whether it’s helping organize IxDF Local Groups, facilitating partnerships with educational institutions, or engaging with our vibrant design community, your work will contribute to a stronger, more connected global network of UX professionals and learners.

• A full-time position, within a fully remote organization. Daily video-based collaboration with your colleagues from elsewhere on the planet, and you’ll get to meet up on team trips every year.

• A work culture with no fluffy titles, political agendas and corporate drama. Your colleagues value your warm character, your strong work ethic, and the results you deliver. Junior or senior, if you embody old-school virtues of always striving to deliver results, learn and become better every day, you'll thrive at the IxDF.

• A daily mission to help impact, empower, and enrich the lives of millions of people by creating affordable high-end design education for everyone across the planet. It’ll be yours too.

• A company where the distance between idea and execution is minimal. We’re a highly agile organization with zero bureaucracy or corporate politics – and with exceptional order and efficiency.

• A company culture where passion meets high performance and excellence. To help us improve the world (and yourself in the process), you’ll need grit, strong work ethic, long-term thinking, and self-discipline.

• We thrive because we have a hands-on attitude and a bias towards action as opposed to fluff-filled, unrealistic strategies. You’ll need crisp execution skills yourself and the ability to impress your colleagues with concrete results, just like they’ll impress you.

Salary and compensation

Are you a full-stack growth unicorn who knows how to craft educational, organic content that scales, launch high-impact campaigns, optimize paid ads, and own every step—from first impression to final conversion?

Can you blend storytelling, psychology, and analytics to craft irresistible content and campaigns that drive measurable growth?

Then we’ve got news for you: this might be exactly the opportunity you’ve been waiting for.

IxDF is a global leader in online UX/UI design education. Industry giants like Adobe and IBM trust our courses to train their teams, and prestigious universities such as MIT and the University of Cambridge use our materials in their curricula.

We’ve assembled an exceptional team of unicorns who support, inspire, and challenge each other every day. We wake up each morning excited to build a brighter future for millions of people around the world.

But something’s missing. And we think it could be you.

This is a role for someone who can “walk the talk.” We’re not looking for a self-proclaimed “brand ninja” or “marketing rockstar.” We want a builder, someone who knows how to get things done, shows proof, not pitch, and lives for measurable outcomes.

Do You Share the Vision of IxDF?

People don’t just buy our courses; they invest in a better version of themselves. That’s why every campaign and content piece we create must do more than “market.” It must reflect what we believe in as a brand:

• Show the dream outcome: Help people imagine a future of creative, meaningful work, freedom, fulfillment, flexibility, and impact through great design.

• Strengthen belief in success: Build confidence through real stories, practical roadmaps, and expert-led guidance. People should feel, “If they did it, I can too.”

• Speed up the time to value: Offer instant wins. Make progress feel close and tangible not someday, but now.

• Lower the effort barrier: Make it feel doable. No jargon. No overwhelm. Just human, beginner-friendly, bite-sized steps that meet people where they are.

Your job would be to translate this into headlines, hooks, content pieces, social media posts, campaigns, and data-informed strategy. You’ll create clarity, motivation, and momentum with a dash of unicorn magic.

What You Will Be Doing

You’ll be at the core of our growth engine, running and optimizing the systems that bring learners into our ecosystem. You will:

• Create, own and scale organic content that earns attention, builds trust, and drives long-term growth across platforms.

• Plan and execute high-impact campaigns for events like Black Friday, New Year, Unicorn Day, and Global Accessibility Awareness Day. You’ll turn briefs into successful results and reports into actionable insights.

• Experiment with new channels like TikTok, Reddit, YouTube Shorts—launching quick pilots and scaling what works.

• Build and maintain clear, concise documentation and reporting dashboards to make campaign operations more transparent, repeatable, and effective.

• Use analytics to learn and iterate, not just report. Your campaigns get smarter every time.

• Champion our value proposition—be a brand ambassador for our mission, bringing our voice, vision, and values to life across every touchpoint.

• Run and scale paid media on Meta, Google, LinkedIn, and YouTube. From targeting to copywriting to ROAS tracking—you’ll own it all.

About you

You’re an optimizer, a problem-solver, and a builder. More specifically:

• You bring storytelling and creativity to your work and can craft organic content that captures attention and connects with users.

• You have a sixth sense for micro-copy, and the know-how to write persuasive, on-brand copy that drives action.

• You have experience with launching campaigns across owned and paid platforms and have the track record to show it.

• You are comfortable with platforms like Meta Ads Manager, Google Ads, and LinkedIn Campaign Manager, and you understand their constraints and superpowers.

• You don’t just launch ads, you improve everything around them: the copy, the images, the funnel, the flow, the analytics.

• You’re driven by impact and fluent in data - you use metrics to uncover insights, guide decisions, and optimize performance. But you also understand human behavior, platform psychology, and what makes a message truly land.

• You view AI not as a threat or a substitution for that infamous human touch but as a force multiplier of your human capabilities. You use AI to build faster, smarter, and better results.

• You have a keen eye for content, and you can quickly understand what type of content is meaningful, appropriate and useful in each situation or each platform.

• You are fluent in written English with exceptional writing skills, grammar and an appreciation for the power of tone, brevity and microscopy.

• You are based within the UTC -1 to UTC +3 time zone, which is crucial to ensure optimal collaboration and overlapping working hours.

Bonus points

You stand out if you...

• Have experience creating or managing video-centric campaigns.

• Know your way around GA4, GTM, and server-side tagging.

What We Can Offer

• A full-time position, within a fully remote organization. Daily video-based collaboration with your colleagues from elsewhere on the planet, and you’ll get to meet up on team trips every year.

• A work culture with no fluffy titles, political agendas and corporate drama. Your colleagues value your warm character, your strong work ethic, and the results you deliver. Junior or senior, if you embody old-school virtues of always striving to deliver results, learn and become better every day, you'll thrive at the IxDF.

• A daily mission to help impact, empower, and enrich the lives of millions of people by creating affordable high-end design education for everyone across the planet. It’ll be yours too.

• A company where the distance between idea and execution is minimal. We’re a highly agile organization with zero bureaucracy or corporate politics – and with exceptional order and efficiency.

• A company culture where passion meets high performance and excellence. To help us improve the world (and yourself in the process), you’ll need grit, strong work ethic, long-term thinking, and self-discipline.

• We thrive because we have a hands-on attitude and a bias towards action as opposed to fluff-filled, unrealistic strategies. You’ll need crisp execution skills yourself and the ability to impress your colleagues with concrete results, just like they’ll impress you.

Salary and compensation

Ever wish your CEO encouraged you to write more automated tests? Or even just understood their importance? Want to work where clean code isn’t a luxury but a priority?  

Our founder and CEO is a developer himself, and our elegant code is the vein that keeps our company healthy and growing. You’ll never have to advocate for the importance of investing in code quality. You can save time (and frustrations) and spend it on doing what matters in a healthy, collaborative environment where your ideas, energy and time are valued.  

You’ll be involved in all cycles of software development, including decision-making, 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.  

This is a rare opportunity to work exclusively with senior-level developers in a diverse, highly organized, result-driven environment where you can thrive personally and professionally.  

You’ll become an essential part of our team, someone who is making a direct impact on not only the core product and reputation of our organization but also the whole world of education and beyond! 

The IxDF is the global leader in online UX/UI design education. We hold the trust of industry giants like Adobe and IBM, who rely on our courses to train their teams. Prestigious universities, including MIT and the University of Cambridge, use our material into their curricula. Help us take online education to new heights and make a meaningful impact on humankind. We’re entering our third decade with over 170,000 graduates. 

We’re proud to have assembled a remarkable team of unicorns who uplift, motivate, and push each other to excel daily. There's a seat open for someone who shares our passion for excellence. Could that be you?

Project Overview

Our flagship product is a vast platform with over 30 sub-domains for online courses, masterclasses, online forums, and community meet-ups in 508 cities in 107 countries. We understand what PHP developers need to thrive, and we've created an environment that delivers.  

• Close to Legacy-Free Codebase. We know how technical debt and legacy code can turn into quicksand, so we continually eradicate it. Some examples include the complete rewrite of our notification and payment system and numerous enhancements made to our course platform. 

• Consistent Coding Standards. We are proud of our strict coding standards, which is the cornerstone of our clean and maintainable codebase. You can find numerous examples in the IxDF Handbook, which includes our conventions for PHP, Laravel, SQL, JavaScript, and CSS, along with other useful resources. You can also find other examples in the IxDF UI Kit, which we’re currently rebuilding into an industry-leading  Design System and our handy IxDF component library. 

• Crystal-Clear Documentation. Clarity is key. Any line of code should be a succinct, well-crafted, and self-explanatory piece of communication to your future self or your colleague. To string things together, we mix in just the right amount of documentation, with best practices such as focusing on the “why?” and keeping it simple.  

• Focus on what matters: Our CI/CD pipeline uses quality tools such as Psalm, PHPStan, Rector, PHPCS, PHP CS Fixer, Deptrac, and ESLint to ensure consistency and code quality. This means we’re almost bug-free despite having numerous, zero-downtime, fully automated deployments to production every day. We don’t like bugs and would rather focus on what matters most. 

• Test Coverage: “The only way to go fast, is to go well - Robert C. Martin”. We love automated testing, especially Unit Tests, and use TDD as much as we can.

You’ll become an essential part of our team, someone who is making a direct impact on not only the growth and reputation of our organization but also the whole world of education and beyond! 

What you’ll be doing 

We’re on the hunt for an exceptional individual who breathes life into the phrase "ideas are worthless without execution." Our organization is full of individuals who are committed to excellence, and we seek a like-minded enthusiast to join us.  

This role is suited to select unique individuals; it's a calling for a true nerd of UI and UX Design. 

Ahead of you is a highly rewarding and enriching career in which you’ll make an impact as you: 

• Take on the roles of Content Writer, Course Editor, Learning Experience Designer, UX/UI Curriculum Developer, and Subject Matter Expert.  
• Create in demand UI/UX courses and open-source content that empower designers around the world. 
• Collaborate with the best UI and UX designers such as Don Norman and Vitaly Friedman, as well as Design Leads at Netflix, LinkedIn, Meta, and Adobe. 
• Create and improve world-class educational materials on topics such as UX design, UI design, Human Computer Interaction (HCI), Design Thinking, Psychology, etc.—in the form of highly engaging articles, courses, design templates, portfolio exercises, and much more.

• Work closely with our other course creators, our video production team, social media team, and our founders to make the most inspiring and engaging educational content for our ever-growing catalogue of courses.  
• Inspire your colleagues to grow and become better communicators, educators, and writers using your advanced editorial skills, just as they will help you. 
• Use your design skills to create engaging visuals that communicate key learning takeaways.  
• Support IxDF content writers, community managers, and social media team members to bring your UI/UX design subject matter expertise to all dimensions of our content, marketing, and communication.

• You’re itching to help professional designers upskill and grow their careers, and you know exactly what it takes. 
• You’ve written and published articles on top design topics. 
• You know how to reach into the lofty heights where abstract ideas live and bring them down to “street level” so our learners can hit the ground running with valuable, practical lessons. 
• You’re an expert wordsmith with an eagle eye for the tiniest details and a keen ear for flow. 
• You're someone who leaves no stone unturned in the pursuit of flawless and grammatically correct copy. 
• You have the graphic design skills needed to create image-based content to support courses, articles, and social media content. 
• You know what the design community likes to read, watch, and learn, and you have the content-creation skills to produce the kind of material they crave. 
• You're used to balancing diverse responsibilities, and you're adept at dividing broad duties into small, executable tasks without losing sight of your overall goal. “Getting stuff done” is your middle name. 
• You’re a practical idealist. You strive for perfection in everything you do, while understanding the delays that can come with pushing for something to be perfect. You know how to create great results through incremental quick wins and MVPs, and when to go all in to create something perfect.

• You speak and write in English with native fluency, and you can make your messages flow so well that whoever reads your work will be “right there” in the subject matter. As you know, the magic of any user experience is getting people to forget they’re even using a medium to reach you. 
• You're a skilled writer and communicator who can explain complex ideas in a clear and engaging way. 
• You love creating inspiring and engaging content that's also accurate and based on research. You know design education can be fun and exciting.
