Apply to be a mentor
Wanted: UX Research Mentors & UX Design Mentors for our Beta tech platform.
Type of Job: This is a consultative job starting January 2022. You can expect to mentor UX, UI, and other design students on a weekly basis, no different than a tutor would mentor his/her/their students, depending on your availability. This job is 100% remote.
We are launching a mentorship platform in 2022, but until then, we invite you to join our beta MVP version where we hand match you with a mentee.
Process:
You can apply and expect to hear from us within 1 week. You would meet with 1 of our designers to do an interview about becoming a mentor. Once approved, we would create a profile highlighting your skills, teaching expertise, and work history. After that, Ideate Labs handles all the marketing to find you mentees to teach on a suitable basis. All mentorship is remote, and done at a time that is most convenient for you and the mentee. You can name a price per hour you like the best, but we recommend starting at the very least at $70 per hour.
Compensation:
$70+ per hour, depending on experience level of mentor, and your goals.
Qualifications:
Currently the mentorship is open to designers in USA only. (We will expand to international in 2022).
Minimum of 3-5 years of experience as a UX researcher or UX designer.
UX Research Mentors:
Expertise with conducting discovery research for new products and new product development (i.e., writing an interview guide, running interviews)
Experience with scoping MVP or the minimum viable product (i.e., what are the core user needs, what are the core features to design).
Experience with research synthesis and affinity clustering, ideation, mapping UX workflows, sketching, and wire framing.
UX Design Mentors:
Expertise with building a design system from scratch (i.e., style guide, atomic design, templates)
Experience with scoping MVP or minimum viable product (i.e., wireframes, UX workflows, IA of product).
Experience with putting together a prototype (Figma).
Every student has different needs. We take time to personalize our approach to each student to deliver course materials in a way that makes it accessible to them. Our mission is to make UI UX design accessible to all, especially women, minorities and immigrants.
