Responsibilities
- Navigate Ambiguity and Shape Solutions
- Work directly with clients, product owners, and stakeholders to uncover the real problem beneath the stated one
- Cut through noise and competing priorities to define the “just right” solution — not the over-engineered ideal, not the quick fix, but the pragmatic path that ships and scales
- Frame product strategy as POC → Pilot → Phased Rollout, helping clients see the big vision while grounding them in what’s achievable now
- Build Rapidly with AI-Assisted Tooling
- Use AI-assisted prototyping tools (Claude Code, Cursor, v0, or your weapon of choice) to vibe code functional prototypes that go far beyond static mockups
- Generate interactive experiences that stakeholders can touch and react to — not just screens to squint at
- Leverage AI to accelerate research synthesis, turning interview transcripts and messy data into actionable personas, journeys, and opportunity map
- Prototyping UI code in collaboration with the AI Engineer and Full-Stack Developer
- Understanding how users interact with AI tools, doing research along the way with end users to understand their trust/sentiment/willingness to interact with AI and adapting the UI to encourage the right behaviors
- Understanding AI concepts
- Work in Figma and Cursor/Claude Code among other technical tools
Requirements
- AI-Assisted Prototyping Fluency: You’ve integrated AI tools into your design workflow— not as a novelty, but as a core capability. You can go from concept to functional prototype in hours, not weeks. You’re comfortable prompting, iterating, and pushing the boundaries of what these tools can produce.
- Research Synthesis Muscle: You can plan and conduct user interviews.
- You don’t just document findings — you own the full loop from facilitating the research to synthesizing it into a strategic narrative.
- Ambiguity Navigation: You thrive when the brief is vague, the stakeholders disagree, and the path forward isn’t obvious.
- Strategic Framing: You think in terms of phased approaches, not final deliverables.
- You can articulate the big vision and then break it into the proof-of-concept that proves value, the pilot that builds confidence, and the rollout that scales.
- You present research and strategy to stakeholders without drowning them in process
