  • Travel Expectations are around ~25%/year on average but can vary depending on the client and engagement; must be willing to travel to Chicago for first client project

The Role

Our client is looking for a Senior Product Designer to join their Technology consulting practice and deliver on UI/UX design focused projects for their clients in Financial Services, Healthcare, SaaS/High Tech, and other industries.

  • Partner with clients to shape compelling product visions that align with their business goals and customer needs.
  • Translate insights and requirements into thoughtful design strategies that drive real business impact.
  • Work hand-in-hand with cross-functional teams — from product managers to engineers — to bring concepts to life.
  • Advocate for design thinking and push boundaries to create innovative, user-centric experiences.

Craft Exceptional User Experiences:

  • Lead UX research efforts including usability testing, contextual inquiries, and behavioral analytics to inform design decisions.
  • Turn research into actionable outputs — personas, journey maps, service blueprints, and more.
  • Design across platforms: from responsive web and mobile to complex enterprise systems.
  • Create everything from wireframes to polished high-fidelity UIs, ensuring accessibility, scalability, and WCAG compliance.
  • Contribute to and evolve design systems, maintaining visual consistency and interaction standards.
  • Facilitate testing sessions, synthesize findings, and iterate based on real user feedback.

Collaborate, Communicate, and Inspire:

  • Present design concepts with confidence, building trust and alignment with clients and stakeholders.
  • Foster a collaborative environment with engineering, QA, and business teams to ensure seamless handoffs and high-quality delivery.
  • Act as a mentor within the design discipline — sharing knowledge, supporting peers, and helping shape a positive team culture.
  • Champion the value of design with clients and internal teams alike.

Support Business Growth:

  • Contribute to proposals and project scoping, bringing design expertise to early-stage client conversations.
  • Use case studies, metrics, and examples to demonstrate the business value of design.

What You Bring

  • A strong portfolio that showcases your design thinking, process, and measurable impact.
  • Mastery of tools like Figma and Maze — from ideation to prototyping and testing.
  • Exceptional communication skills with the ability to influence and lead stakeholders at all levels.
  • Deep experience with DesignOps and cross-functional collaboration across design, product, and engineering.
  • Familiarity with HTML/CSS and JavaScript frameworks (React, Angular) preferred.
  • Familiarity w/ platforms like AEM, Drupal, SharePoint, Salesforce, or ServiceNow preferred.
  • A degree in Product Design, HCI, Graphic Design, or a related field.
  • 5+ years of hands-on experience in end-to-end product design within consulting, agency, or in-house teams.
