Education Perfect is an EdTech platform designed to empower educators and amplify their impact in the classroom. We aim to enable teachers to personalise learning at scale with a range of powerful learning, assessment, and insights tools, helping them and their students reach their full potential.

As an EPeep, you’ll work on projects that have a real impact on students' lives and have the freedom, support and resources you need to develop your skills and grow your career.

We’re searching for a Senior Product Designer to join our team. You’ll partner with product managers and engineers to design impactful solutions, balancing customer needs with business goals and technical realities.

We have one 12-month opportunity and one 6-month opportunity, with a preference for candidates based in Auckland or Wellington.

• Deliver end-to-end design artifacts: research, concepts, prototypes and UI
• Conduct research and evaluative testing to understand customer needs
• Utilise design practices (personas, journey maps) for a shared customer view
• Collaborate with product managers and engineers to scope, prioritise and deliver solutions
• Contribute to the design system, building reusable patterns and components for consistency
• Support design team culture and processes with a mindset of continuous improvement

About you

• 7+ years of experience as a product designer, ideally in SaaS or modern cloud software

• Excellent communication and collaboration skills, across stakeholders at all levels
• Comfortable working with ambiguity and making trade‑offs to achieve strategic goals
• Experience working closely with product managers and engineers in cross‑functional teams
• Strong planning and organisational skills, able to manage timelines independently
