About The Position

Distance Learning Solutions Inc. is a growing, innovative, and customer-centric educational technology company. We partner with Fossil School District 21J to deliver educational services through the Fossil Distance Learning Program, supporting virtual school students with a proven, service-driven model. Service is at the core of everything we do. Our team is made up of people who genuinely care about students, families, and colleagues. We believe excellence is found in the details - done right, every time. We make promises, and we keep them. Because families choose us, white-glove service delivered with professionalism and a positive attitude is an expectation of every employee. Service is not a department - it is embedded deeply in our culture. Working at Distance Learning Solutions, Inc. is not for everyone. It requires commitment, self-motivation, and a strong focus on service and accountability. However, for individuals who value hard work, collaboration, and student success, Distance Learning Solutions Inc. offers a highly rewarding and stable work environment. Employee turnover is low, with team members demonstrating long-term loyalty, engagement, and satisfaction. This position is a full-time commitment. Significant outside employment is not feasible. Candidates must reside in Oregon, Idaho, Washington or Arizona. The Digital Experience Designer is responsible for designing and maintaining the visual interface and user experience of the company’s digital platforms, including the public website, intranet, class pages, and user forms. This role focuses on usability, accessibility, visual consistency, and overall user experience, working closely with the Director of IT who manages coding, systems, and infrastructure. The Digital Experience Designer defines how digital systems look and function for end users, supports consistent branding across company platforms, and assists with digital and system-related tasks as needed to support ongoing operations and improvements.
