  • Leverage AI tools to accelerate ideation, synthesis, and concept generation

Research & Competitive Benchmarking

  • Benchmark best-in-class experiences across industries
  • Identify patterns from companies such as Airbnb, Marriott, fintech leaders, and AI-first platforms

Storytelling & Executive Communication

  • Create compelling strategic narratives and pitch materials
  • Present “current state vs future state” transformations
  • Build executive-ready presentations explaining:
    • Problem framing
    • Strategic rationale
    • Experience principles

  • Act as the conductor/orchestrator across multidisciplinary teams
  • Help define pod-based ways of working for AI-enabled product development

Qualifications Required

  • 7+ years in product strategy, UX strategy, service design, innovation, or related disciplines
  • Strong understanding of AI-native product experiences
  • Experience with generative AI tools and prompt-based workflows
  • Exceptional storytelling and presentation skills
  • Systems-thinking mindset
  • Strong conceptual thinking and synthesis capabilities

Preferred

  • Experience in financial services, fintech, travel, loyalty, or consumer platforms
  • Familiarity with conversational interfaces and agentic UX
  • Experience leading innovation or future vision initiatives
  • Background in design strategy or service design

What Success Looks Like
