About this role
Job title: Senior Strategic Designer, AI, Insights & Solutions
About the Role Senior Strategic Designer will lead human-centered innovation efforts—from research and insight development to concept creation, prototyping, and experimentation. You’ll bring a consulting mindset to navigate complex case contexts, contribute to strategy definition, and make pragmatic design choices that add value quickly.
What You'll Do
- Lead the end-to-end strategic design process—from framing and research to experimentation and delivery
- Conduct qualitative research and synthesize insights into compelling artifacts (e.g., personas, journeys, opportunity maps)
- Co-lead ideation sessions and conceptualize new experiences and business models in collaboration with case teams
- Build storytelling assets and prototypes to bring ideas to life in fast, iterative ways
- Run light experiments to test desirability, feasibility, and viability of new solutions
- Collaborate with case teams, GPs, and client stakeholders, showing ownership and design leadership
- Adapt design approaches based on project goals—balancing structured frameworks with practical flexibility
- Model strong communication and tradeoff-thinking, clearly articulating rationale and implications behind design decisions
- Contribute to the AIS community through coaching, recruiting, IP development, and cultural initiatives
What We're Looking For
- 3–5 years of hands-on experience in digital product, service, or venture design
- Proven ability to navigate strategic ambiguity and co-create direction in complex, fast-changing contexts
- Strong grasp of design thinking, human-centered design, and agile ways of working
- Fluency with tools such as Figma, Miro, Adobe Creative Suite—and a working comfort with GenAI tools that support design research, ideation, prototyping, and storytelling
- Intellectual curiosity and a consulting mindset: you seek to understand case context, contribute to business strategy, and deliver design with clear intent and rationale
- Strong communication and collaboration skills with both designers and non-designers
- Comfort with travel (~30%) for client work
- Advanced proficiency in English
Nice to Have
- Experience in consulting or client-facing roles
- Familiarity with product management concepts and/or feasibility/viability discussions
