The Opportunity

As a Product Designer (UX/UI) in our Academy Product Team you'll play a key role in owning and leading the UX/UI of the platform as the sole SME in the Team.

Our Academy Platform provides free access to online courses, technical assistance, virtual labs and webinars to help bridge the skills gap that exists in Internet Operations across the Asia Pacific. The skills gap translates into security risks for the global Internet.

You'll be part of a small, multicultural and vibrant agile team, working closely with a delivery manager, developers, and a product manager. You'll be empowered to work autonomously, trusted to deliver outcomes and to be the advocate for both the user and your product in day-to-day work.

Outside of your work in the product team you'll also be working the Customer Experience Manager and other UX/UI Designers on overall APNIC experience and style.

In this role you'll get the opportunity to:

• Provide your UX/UI expertise in the important work of the APNIC Academy which supports the people who build, operate and maintain the Internet
• Meet and conduct research with APNIC members and the community from all backgrounds across the Asia Pacific region
• Assist with cross-functional projects such as our internal design system and the APNIC website refresh

The role is being offered on a 1-year contract and our recruitment process will include two rounds of interviews, a practical and pre-employment checks (reference and police checks). We aim to commence interviewing from week beginning in late April 2023.

Who are we and what do we do?

As the Regional Internet Registry for the Asia Pacific, we work for the good of the Internet and the 4.7 billion people who use it across the globe.

We're an open, member-based Not-For-Profit and are responsible for distributing and managing Internet number resources (IP addresses and AS numbers) in 56 economies. These number resources are the building blocks for the Internet to operate and grow.

We also provide dedicated ongoing support to our 9,000+ members across Asia Pacific, and are invested in building essential technical skills in our region. We deliver training and technical assistance in multiple formats. We also develop and support open forums for Internet policy development, produce insightful research, and offer grants and fellowships.

Why is this so important?

The people who created the Internet decided right from the start that it should be a public resource that is managed and shared in a fair way. Today, that's more important - and more challenging - than ever before.

Every day, we work to make it happen.

• By managing fair access to IP addresses…
• By delivering support and guidance to those who are using them…
• By leading and supporting open research, discussion and development across the globe…

We enable and promote an Internet that is a global, open, stable and secure for all.
