Experience Design Lead

Shaping the Next Gen Schools
We're on a mission to radically change the way students learn. We believe in solving hard problems, and we
play to win
—we measure progress by
revenues, students, and learning gains
. Our approach? Build high-performing teams, giving them the freedom to dream big and execute boldly.

Today, we're building the next generation of schools in Saudi Arabia.
We believe every student deserves world-class teachers. And to make it happen, we're reimagining everything about education: from cutting-edge tech to peer learning and physical spaces that spark curiosity.

Hybrid brings digital star teachers directly into school buildings, and amplifies the experience through peer to peer learning and AI. We ran this model for a year with two schools and the results were so overwhelming that we expanded to 18 private and 10 public schools in our second year of operations.
The verdict is clear: students don't just tolerate hybrid, they love it.
Learn more about us:

• 10+ Years of Impact: Started with a simple idea—access to the best teachers shouldn't be a luxury, and learning should energize, not drain you.
• Market Leaders: 14 million students (and counting) use Noon across Middle East, Egypt, and Pakistan to ace high-stakes exams like Qudurat & Tahsili.
• Now: We're laser-focused on reinventing schools in Saudi Arabia. We're accelerating rapidly, well-funded, and profitable.
• Office: Full-time, Riyadh-based. We've got a sweet office near the Boulevard, and we'd love to have you in it.

The Role
As
Experience Design Lead
, you own the
path
: the end-to-end learning journey for Noon students, with a special focus on
Qudrat prep
. You turn feedback, data, and constraints (school calendars, exam windows, product roadmap) into a learning journey that
feels clear and doable
for students, parents, and staff. You will
work closely with:
Product, Learning, Experience, and School Ops.

What You'll Do

• Design and maintain the learning journey

• Map and maintain the full student learning journey:

• from onboarding → diagnostics → courses → bootcamps → real Qudrat attempts

• Design a clear, student-facing view of the journey:

• milestones and levels,

• what success looks like at each stage,

• what support (sessions, bootcamps, practice) is available

• Make sure the journey is aligned with:

• official Qudrat exam windows,

• school calendar and exam weeks,
• internal academic plans and content

You are responsible for the "big picture" of how a student moves through Noon, not just individual features or classes.

• Fix weak points in the journey

• Use recurring student, parent, and staff feedback plus data to spot:

• where the journey is confusing,

• where pace is too fast/too slow,
• where support is missing (before/after exams,between levels, etc.)

• Translate these insights into journey changes, such as:

• clearer onboarding and first 2 weeks,

• better explanation of "what's next" after key milestones,

• new or improved touchpoints, activities, or interventions

• Work with Product and Learning to:

• align course design, bootcamps, and app experience with the journey,

• avoid one-off fixes and instead solve recurring problems at the system level

• Run experiments and pilots

• Work with School Leads to run small, fast pilots for:

• new journey ideas (e.g., new pathways for weak students),

• new touchpoints (e.g., mid-journey check-ins, expectation sessions),

• new engagement formats (e.g., challenge weeks, focused sprints)

• Define simple success criteria for each pilot:

• attendance, completion, satisfaction, next-step readiness, etc.

• Document what worked and what didn't, and help decide:

• what becomes standard practice across schools,

• what needs more testing or should be dropped

What We're Looking For

• Roughly 3+ years of experience in: Product, Customer Experience, or Consulting
• Ability to combine qualitative feedback + quantitative data
• Strong structuring and synthesis can map journeys, break them into stages, and simplify complexity

• Comfortable working with:

• Product & data dashboards,

• Learning / academic teams,

• School operations and on-the-ground staff

• Tools:

• Confident in Excel/Sheets or dashboards for basic analysis,

• Comfortable with Miro / FigJam / slides for mapping and communicating journeys

Bonus Points If You:****

• Experience in education, exam-prep, or learning products
• Prior work on student/learner journeys or similar lifecycle journeys
• Strong interest in standardized testing, Qudrat/Tahsili, or assessment design

Noon Academy is the leading edtech platform in the Middle East, with over 14 million students and teachers using our app to learn, teach, and collaborate. We have recently raised $41 million in Series B funding to expand our reach and impact in the region and beyond. We are on a mission to transform the physical classroom experience by introducing our highly engaging social, group-based learning and AI to make learning fun and improve learning efficacy. Our ultimate goal is to provide access to the best teachers to every student even if that teacher is only available virtually. We believe we can do this if we blend AI, peer-to-peer learning, and a carefully designed physical space.
