RFP: MicroMentor-UX Design

We are looking for a UX Design firm who is responsible for designing user experiences and user interfaces for the MicroMentor platform. This person will work closely with the Product Owner to flesh out feature areas that need design attention. The ideal candidate is passionate about designing delightful experiences for humans interacting with a computer system, and for humans communicating with other humans through that system. This person is a reliable teammate, a strong communicator, and knowledgeable in their field.

You are comfortable beginning with an ambiguous situation and producing clarity. You can break a large problem down into small problems. You can solve small problems confidently, knowing they are part of a bigger picture. You are results-driven and accountable. You are a strong visual, written, and oral communicator. You translate user stories into experiences, using whatever communication tools are most appropriate. You have pride of ownership in your designs, and shepherd them to completion. You

are detail-oriented; but you also know when not to make the perfect the enemy of the good. You can reverse-engineer business problems from proposed solutions. You can work closely with developers to create prototypes or proofs-of-concept. You are open, honest, and self-critical and exhibit the utmost integrity. You approach problems with a mindset of possibility and abundance. You are enthusiastic about working for a mission-driven organization. You will be working closely with team members across functions and geographies. We are a fast-growing startup within a large international NGO and our days are fun and intense.
