More about the CaliforniaColleges.edu Team
CaliforniaColleges.edu Team is comprised of four divisions:
Student Experience: Responsible for the development and iteration of content and tools for students.
Educator Experience: Responsible for the development and iteration of content and tools for educators.
Integrations: Responsible for integrations with postsecondary and financial aid institutions.
User Experience: Responsible for gathering data from users and designing new or enhanced features to meet user needs.
The team is composed of individuals, working remotely across California, who drive the content, tools, and design of CaliforniaColleges.edu. Not all of us have a product development or technical background, but we believe in continuous learning and are deeply self-motivated.
Our team includes content experts, product managers, an engineer, a user experience designer, and a user researcher. The team does NOT include developers. We work closely with a client lead and developers at our vendor to handle this portion of the product.
This is a new role for the team. We hired our first user experience designer about 2 years ago. One of our longest-tenured staffers moved into a user research role a few months ago. We are keen for you to bring experience that you can impart to the rest of us, but we also need you to be interested in building and improving your skillset. You need to be low-ego enough to always take the initiative to learn more.
More about CCGI
