You set the bar for quality experience strategy, develop the talent that delivers it, and form clear points of view that help our clients navigate shifting customer expectations and industry dynamics.
The work:
In this role you will have accountability across three dimensions:
Client Delivery:
Oversee multiple design programs, providing strategic direction and quality oversight to leads and their teams while maintaining accountability for delivery health in complex client environments to drive measurable outcomes.
Build and sustain senior client relationships, stepping in as the decisive voice on high-stakes engagements and establishing the trust that turns one project into a lasting partnership.

What you'll need:
-
10+ years of experience in Experience Strategy, Service Design, Product Design, or a related discipline, with a track record across varied industries, users, and business problems
-
5+ years leading digital design or experience strategy engagements end-to-end, including work with executive-level stakeholder complexity and ambiguous or shifting scopes. Strong executive presence and the ability to hold difficult conversations with senior client stakeholders to guide them to outcomes that strengthen the relationship while setting expectations that protect our delivery teams
-
4+ years directly managing or developing designers at a senior level, with demonstrated ability to grow practitioners into program owners and develop future leaders
-
4+ years contributing to business development: shaping proposals, scoping programs, and presenting to clients in a way that builds confidence and closes deals

4+ years experience connecting experience decisions to measurable business outcomes, including KPI definition, and executive alignment across complex organizations
Bonus points if:

You've built or significantly shaped a design practice through hiring decisions, capability investments, ways of working, or team structure
-
You have fluency in product strategy, operating model design, or experience-led business strategy, with a track record of expanding into adjacent domains
