Business Development

• Proactively document how AI is changing your project workflows and quantify its impact on delivery, quality, and team performance to inform new ways of working.

• Contribute to proposals, create case studies from your work, and translate project learnings into clear, compelling thought leadership.

• Listen for unmet client needs and evolving business priorities and share opportunities with account leaders to drive growth.

People & Practice Development:

• Mentor and support team members in their day-to-day work, helping them grow their skills, navigate challenges, and develop as experience strategist.

• Be a consistent and engaged member of the Experience Strategy craft, supporting others, proactively sharing methods and outcomes from your projects and contributing to the evolution of the discipline.

What you'll need:

• 6+ years of experience in Experience Strategy, Service Design, Product Design, or a related discipline across varied users, business problems, and organizational contexts

• 4+ years leading experience strategy engagements end-to-end, including discovery, synthesis, concepting, and transition to delivery or operations

• 3+ years directly managing or coaching designers, with demonstrated ability to develop contributors into stronger independent practitioners

• 3+ years experience connecting experience decisions to measurable business impacts and outcomes

• 3+ years experience embedding AI tools and workflows into product strategy and design practices; comfort modeling AI-enabled ways of working for a team

• 3+ years utilizing facilitation skills and executive presence; ability to present experience strategy and design rationale to senior client stakeholders and manage competing priorities under pressure

Bonus points if:

• You have fluency in product strategy, operating model design, or experience-led business strategy or have expanded your skillset in a self-directed way

• You are familia with agile delivery environments; experience collaborating with product managers, technology architects, and data/analytics teams

• You have experience contributing to practice-level initiatives: ways of working documentation, craft assets, onboarding, or community forums
