Product Designer: Arbor Education
At Arbor, we’re on a mission to transform the way schools work for the better.
We believe in a future of work in schools where being challenged doesn’t mean being burnt out and overworked. Where data guides progress without overwhelming staff. And where everyone working in a school is reminded why they got into education every day.
Our School Management Tools are already making a difference in over 7,000 schools and trusts. Giving time and power back to staff, turning data into clear, actionable insights, and supporting happier working days.
At the heart of our brand is a recognition that the challenges schools face today aren’t just about efficiency, outputs and productivity - but about creating happier working lives for the people who drive education everyday: the staff. We want to make schools more joyful places to work, as well as learn.
We’re a growing, central design team embedded within a wider product and engineering organisation. As we scale our impact, we’re looking for a Product Designer who excels in dynamic settings, clarifies complex situations, and produces impactful work that moves us toward our goals.
You’ll play a key role in the ground-up rebuild of one of our core applications helping to redesign a more intuitive experience for parents and schools and helping schools manage parental engagement more effectively and efficiently.
Core responsibilities
Work closely with Product teams to define problems, generate hypotheses, and validate solutions through iterative design processes.
Develop and maintain a deep understanding of user needs, business objectives, and the education sector to create impactful design solutions.
Plan, conduct and analyse both quantitative and qualitative user research to make data-driven design decisions.
Translate complex workflows and requirements into simple, effective, and scalable user experiences.
Design and prototype wireframes, user flows, and high-fidelity UI mockups to communicate design ideas effectively.
Create intuitive, visually appealing, and accessible user interfaces for our users.
Effectively communicate design rationale, process, and decisions to stakeholders and cross-functional teams.
Maintain and evolve the design system to ensure consistency and efficiency across products.
Continuously seek improvement opportunities and share learnings
We’re looking for a practical and proactive Designer who has experience turning complex requirements into intuitive, elegant solutions that solve real user problems. Beyond that, we’d love to see:
Strong experience in user-centered design processes, from research to final execution.
Experience working in agile environments with cross-functional teams including engineering, product management, and marketing.
Strong decision-making skills, adaptability, and the ability to influence teams.
A proactive approach to learning and applying new design methodologies.
A curious and collaborative mindset
Experience working with remote teams.
