UX Designer – Moodle

Moodle with us!

Moodle is the world’s most trusted online learning solution. The engine of our ecosystem is Moodle LMS, the secure open-source platform used by over 200 million learners worldwide. The learning and development functionalities of Moodle LMS have been further enhanced for workplace learning via Moodle Workplace, a flexible and customisable platform streamlining onboarding, workplace learning and compliance management.

While Moodle Workplace is relatively young, it is a fast-growing competitor in the burgeoning workplace learning sector and consequently, we require an exceptional UX/UI Designer to join the Moodle Workplace team.

At Moodle, we’re a small but mighty group of passionate people, based in several different countries around the world. We’re united by our dedication to enable best-practice online learning whether within education institutions or workplaces and we are looking for someone who is aligned to our values and goals.

If you are an User Experience Designer, who enjoys learning, while having fun together as we advance our mission, read on!

Who we are

You will be working in the Moodle Workplace team alongside with a small but exceptional multi-disciplinary group. We are very passionate about what we do and we work hard every day in our belief that Moodle Workplace will transform workplace learning.

Our team is fully remote, and not just because of COVID19, but because we believe in getting the best people, irrespective of where they live in the world. In case you prefer working at an office, you can access an office if you reside in Barcelona, Spain.

Many of the Moodle Workplace team members are based in Spain and the UK so it would be important if you are in that timezone.

What your new job can look like…

As a UX Designer at Moodle, you’ll contribute to making Moodle Workplace the world’s most effective platform to train and engage diverse teams of learners.

You’ll have a significant role in improving the usability of Moodle Workplace. As an advocate for the end-user, you’ll conduct research into user behaviour and be the expert in understanding our users’ goals, needs, and pain points.

You’ll play an essential role in our product development team providing new feature design, as well as day-to-day design support to the team, and be part of a much bigger international community of contributing developers and Moodle Partners.

How would your day look like

We are a product company and most of the people working at Moodle are part of a product team.

We use Jira for daily coordination, planning, issue tracking and milestones and Google Docs to discuss things like product decisions.

We have short release cycles (every two months) and we discuss the product pretty much every week, if not every day.

As a UX/UI Designer, most days can involve a mix of:

• Designing tools and features for both beginners and advanced Moodle Workplace users.
• Demonstrating deep user empathy and effectively sharing user experience sensibilities with team members.
• Working iteratively to solve complex business and technical problems through sketching, diagraming, wireframing and prototyping.
• Conduct frequent user research and usability testing and gather data to inform your design decisions.
• Collaborating closely with our UX Lead, developers, team leads, and other designers to ensure goals and deadlines are met.

…and having a laugh with your team…
