Senior Content Designer - EdTech & AI Skills

This Senior Content Designer role at Super Summary sits at a genuinely rare intersection: editorial depth, AI prompt engineering, user research, and product design — a skill combination that is increasingly in demand across EdTech, media, and SaaS platforms. Building fluency across all four areas here could make you highly competitive in the content strategy job market.

Compensation context: No salary is listed, and this is a part-time contract role — a flag worth noting for anyone seeking financial stability or benefits. Part-time senior contracts in content design typically range from $50–$100/hr in the US market, but without explicit figures, negotiation will be required.

• Green flag: Reporting directly to the Head of Product gives you high visibility and strategic influence, rare for content roles
• Green flag: AI prompt engineering and content QA at scale are cutting-edge skills with strong market demand through 2025 and beyond
• Green flag: Remote-first since 2018 — genuine async culture, not a recent pivot
• Yellow flag: Part-time contract means no benefits, limited job security, and unclear path to full-time
• Yellow flag: No mention of team size, growth stage funding, or career progression framework

Who thrives here: Senior freelancers or consultants who want meaningful product work alongside other clients, or professionals transitioning into AI-augmented content roles who want a portfolio-building engagement. The scope — from user research through QA and launch — provides strong end-to-end experience rarely found in a single contract role.

Super Summary is looking for a Senior Content Designer to grow our library of reading resources by spotting what readers need and building it. Reporting to the Head of Product, you will own the content experience from the reader's point of view: talking to readers to find new content opportunities, prototyping concepts, and turning the ones that work into content we can produce at scale.

Our content is our primary value driver, and our biggest opportunities come from rethinking existing formats or inventing new kinds of content that readers want. You will help shape our content bets, from our biggest initiatives to quick experiments. You will validate opportunities with research and benchmarking, prototype the content yourself, refine the prompts that produce it, and hand well-defined concepts to the product team for development.

You will also raise the bar on product copy and content structure across the product.

The ideal candidate pairs strong editorial taste with fluency in user research, design, and AI. You are comfortable talking directly to readers, you form a point of…
