[Hiring] UX/UI Designer @Riverside Insights

Role Description

As the UX/UI Designer, Reach, you will lead the end-to-end design of Riverside's Reach platform and the next generation of our portfolio assessments, including CogAT and the Iowa Assessments, building the user experience from the ground up alongside Engineering, Product, and Psychometrics partners. You'll define how students, educators, and administrators interact with a platform that doesn't exist yet, then continue to own and evolve that experience once Reach is live.

This is a 0-to-1 build. There is no existing product to iterate on, so you'll establish the UX framework, interaction patterns, and design system from scratch rather than improving what's already there. You'll report to the Product Director, and partner closely with Engineering, Product Management, Psychometrics, and Content teams to bring the platform to market, then to support and expand post-launch.
