Nurturing critical wisdom for the sake of the world
Why should you join Minerva? The salary and benefits are competitive; the people you’ll work with are authentic, thoughtful, driven, and human; but the reason we chose Minerva is our strong belief in the company’s mission: if we want to change the world, it’s imperative that we improve education everywhere.
As our first step to achieving that goal, we built Minerva University from the ground up, refining and improving every aspect of a traditional university. Minerva University boasts an unbiased admissions process, seminars instead of lectures, and a global experience over 4 years; and has been named the most innovative university in the world - twice. Now, we are expanding our reach and impact by partnering with emerging and established higher education institutions around the world.
Our methodology, which emphasizes active class participation, deliberate practice, and other empirically-proven methods, is enabled by Minerva Forum. Built to address the central educational challenges of the modern era, Minerva Forum embodies the leading research on the science of learning to enable the rapid development of sophisticated, durable skills based programs.
We are seeking a passionate and efficient Product Designer to join our agile team in launching the next generation of Minerva Forum. As we prepare for beta testing this fall, your expertise will be crucial in finalizing key aspects of our web application. Working independently, yet closely with product management and engineering, you will transform detailed requirements into seamless and intuitive user experiences that perfectly complement our existing application.
