Job Spec: Our client is a boutique, award-winning Innovation and Strategic Design consultancy with an international footprint.
Problem-centric and solution-agnostic, they solve problems through service, experience, and product design, innovation, and human-centred design, resulting in new products, services, processes, brands, and experiences.
They are trusted by an outstanding portfolio of local and international clients across all sectors (FMCG, retail, technology, health, and services), including Google, Reach Out, McCain, Lululemon, and Sydney Children's Hospital.
Clients love what they do, and as a result, they are looking for an experienced pair of design hands to help design and deliver projects, oversee project components, troubleshoot, and keep projects on track with responsibility for:
- Physical & digital customer journey mapping for a global retail brand
- Product/channel innovation opportunities and rapid prototyping solutions for an FMCG category.

Their work spans Australia, APAC, North America, and the UK!
About You:
We're looking for a Strategic Designer with 7+ years of commercial agency experience in service design, experience design, and consumer journey mapping. You should be equal parts 'doer' and 'thinker', capable of building trust with clients and delivering insights that solve complex problems for FMCG, retail, and technology clients.
- Creative thinker with experience facilitating workshops, human design, and observing trends
- Able to act as a sounding board to clients and colleagues
- Comfortable grappling with a high degree of ambiguity
- Confident in generating strategies, solutions, and implementation plans
- Design thinker who can identify user insights and navigate complex challenges - able to look at macro and micro insights
- Thrives in a fast-paced and varied environment
- Enjoys an eclectic taste in music (they take their office playlist very seriously and have a fun sense of humour!).
This is an initial 3-plus-month contract from September to December, with the potential to become permanent for the right person.
