Research-driven UX Designer
Who we are
Literacy is closely linked to poverty, and learning to read and write is expensive and inaccessible to many of the nearly 8 million in Kenya. Basic literacy is one of the core skills, which empowers individuals to engage in formal economic activities, to participate in skill development programs and to move up the economic ladder.
Alo is a mobile platform that provides universally accessible, affordable and personalised education to illiterate adults. The app is designed for people with zero-low school attendance, and teaches reading and writing lessons through bite-sized exercises.
We’ve built Alo from the ground up in a lean manner, while talking to teachers and conducting experiments with users in Ivory Coast and Germany. We’re now starting to test these features in Kenya. This is not your typical UX project. We are working with a difficult target group: adults who cannot read or write, who own lower-end phones, and who have a low level of digital literacy. We believe we can offer them all a way to educate themselves.
What you will do
Regularly organize interviews and testing sessions with literacy class participants
Interpret the results and formulating them into insights.
Create compelling cases and screen flows from the insights generated from the field and sharing them with the rest of the team.
Establish partnerships with schools offering literacy programs and maintaining a healthy relationship with them.
What we’re offering
Be part of a dynamic new start-up that is creating access to education for people who have traditionally been excluded from the system.
Directly influence the direction of the product development.
Flexibility in choosing working hours.
Work with an international team based in Germany and the US.
Your profile
Proven track record of experience in developing interfaces and UX for web and/or mobile apps
Experience in organizing and conducting research and testing sessions with users, as well as interpreting the results
Strong working knowledge of Sketch, Adobe Illustrator, or Photoshop.
Experience in creating wireframes, storyboards, and process flows.
Experience articulating your findings and design decisions.
Independent in your work and open to collaborate with a remote team.
Ready to answer and quickly handle requests from the team.
You have your own laptop and a stable Internet connection for video calls.
You are based in Nairobi or surroundings.
Bonus points
Experience in designing for illiterate people or children
Experience in designing for places with poor connectivity -
