We are currently looking for a lead instructor for our full-time (12 week) User Experience Bootcamp.

Our User Experience Bootcamp (UXB) course is a life-changing educational experience where our students learn and practice the skills and mindsets to take on new careers in product design roles. We are looking for a lead instructor with cross-functional experience to play a key role on our growing instructional team.

This role is based in Singapore and is delivered in a hybrid (campus and online) format, requiring instructors to reside in Singapore and have an eligible work permit or be a Singapore citizen or permanent resident. (We are not currently sponsoring employees.)

If you are looking to make a life-changing impact by sharing your love for user experience with the next generation of product designers, we’d love for you to consider joining our team. We deliver more than just skills training and are looking for teachers who share our passion for facilitating and mentoring a community of lifelong learners pursuing the work and careers that they love. As an instructor, you will join us to:

• Work closely with the instructional team (co-lead instructors, instructional associates, instructor manager) to guide students through a rigorous, transformational journey.
• Become a better leader, coach, and mentor as you learn from students, experienced instructors, and the larger General Assembly community.
• Inspire and support learners as they identify their interests and drive their own continued learning beyond the curriculum; motivate students when they deal with classroom and personal challenges that become barriers to learning.
• Adapt our global curriculum and use it to guide your teaching, building your own lesson plans as needed and sharing your lessons with the larger GA instructional community.
• Facilitate a safe, supportive, and energetic community that welcomes the various abilities, needs and learning styles of your students.

Through a combination of live instruction, instructor-led workshops, self-paced lessons, unit projects (individual and team-based), and 1:1 support, we teach our learners how to approach and solve UX challenges in order to land a design job and contribute to the creation of the next generation of successful apps, websites, and other digital products.

The User Experience Bootcamp consists of four units:

• Unit 1: Rapid Prototyping, Design Iteration, and Usability Testing
• Unit 2: User Interface and Visual Design Foundations
• Unit 3: Working on a Product Team
• Unit 4: UX in the Real World

Learning is assessed through an assignment journal, two independent projects (a mobile app and e-commerce store) as well as one team project spotlighting a local business. For the final course capstone, student teams are partnered with a local startup in a pro-bono capacity to solve a user experience problem.

• You are eager to shape the skills, minds, and journeys of the newest generation of user experience designers.
• You have at least 3-5 years of experience working in user experience design on a product team.
• You have fluency in some or all of the following topics: the UX Process, User Research and Personas, Usability Testing, UX Analysis, Information Architecture, Interface Design, Wireframing, Prototyping, Analytics and Optimization, Mobile UX, and/or HTML/CSS.
• You have at least 2 years of experience using Figma in a professional capacity, including the following: creation of component libraries, design systems, and high-fidelity prototypes.
• Priority will be given to applicants with the Advanced Certificate in Learning and Performance (ACLP) /Advanced Certificate in Training and Assessment (ACTA), awarded by the Institute of Adult Learning Singapore.
• This role is based in Singapore and you must be authorized to work in Singapore. Please ensure you have the right to work in Singapore before applying.

• Commit a few hours per week preparing lessons and materials, leveraging existing GA curriculum content.
• Work closely with co-instructors and/or teaching assistants to provide students with meaningful and prompt feedback on their progress.
• Guide students through development of a stellar capstone project that showcases their abilities to hiring managers.
• Facilitate a dynamic, collaborative, and positive classroom community.
• Inspire students to persevere through the challenges of learning a new skill set.
