About this role

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 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.
