  • Experience building and maintaining complex design systems, style guides and workflows.
  • Extensive mastery of Sketch, Photoshop and other design collaboration tools.
  • Strong analytical, problem solving and planning abilities.
  • Strong written and verbal communication.
  • Ability to work well with ambiguity in a fast-paced environment.
  • Willingness to wear multiple hats and go beyond your own role.
  • Basic understanding of HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and/or other programming languages.

An Insider's view of Teachable

What are some social events your company does?

Teachable has company-wide events that are creator based throughout the year! Once I attended an event where we were able to receive a natal birth chart reading. As an astrology enthusiast, this was very memorable for me because I got to understand more about my inner self/personality and even suggested the creator's business to one of my friends!

How does the company support your career growth?

I've had great support from my managers, who have talked with me about my areas of interest, helped me identify strengths and weaknesses, and have suggested resources for professional development. And it's exciting to see that as the company has grown over the years that I've been here, new roles, positions, and pathways continue to be created.
