Curriculum Associates is seeking a Designer to join the Stile team in Melbourne. Stile is an educational technology platform used by one in three high schools in Australia to teach science, with rapid expansion into the US. The platform serves tens of thousands of students daily with meticulously researched, engaging science content.
In this role, you will design engaging science lessons for K–12 students, translating complex scientific concepts into clear, beautiful, and interactive learning experiences. Your primary responsibilities include:
**Core Responsibilities:**
- Design engaging lessons within the established Stile design language, handling layout, typography, diagrams, and artwork that transform written content into compelling student-facing materials
- Create and implement interactive experiences including simulations, drag-and-drop activities, data visualizations, and models that allow students to actively engage with concepts rather than passively consume static content
- Produce scientific illustrations, diagrams, labeled figures, process visuals, and explanatory artwork; edit and adapt existing materials
- Collaborate closely with writers, learning designers, and engineers from the concept stage through delivery, ensuring interactives are built accessibly for diverse student abilities
- Communicate design rationales clearly and deliver reliably against content production schedules
- Continuously improve your craft by building knowledge of accessibility, staying current with interaction design trends and AI tooling, and participating in design critique
You'll work in a 70-person team of teachers, scientists, artists, and engineers committed to improving scientific literacy. The role involves high-volume design work with a focus on educational and explanatory content. You'll have flexibility to work from home several days per week while maintaining in-person collaboration time at the Melbourne CBD office.
**Requirements:**
- Solid graphic design fundamentals: layout, typography, hierarchy, and color theory
- Portfolio demonstrating consistent, high-volume design work within an established visual language
- Genuine curiosity about interactive design and willingness to learn
- Ability to adapt to and evolve an existing visual language collaboratively
- Comfortable working cross-functionally with writers, editors, and engineers
- Good-to-strong Adobe Illustrator skills for creating and adapting scientific illustrations
**Bonus qualifications:**
- Experience designing educational, explanatory, or instructional content
- Ability to prototype in code (intermediate level acceptable)
- Willingness to use AI tooling to develop interactions from concept to prototype
- Motion and animation capabilities
- A 'just try it' mentality and excitement to bring ideas to life
