Senior Design & Product Strategist

At Impact Studios, we design and build digital products & services that sit at the intersection of user needs, business objectives and modern tech. As part of Plain Concepts, we combine a strong engineering backbone with a boutique consulting mindset to ship solutions that matter.

Core Role

We are looking for a Senior Design & Product Strategist who bridges UX Design, Product Strategy and Product Management. This position combines strategic, conceptual and hands-on UX capabilities. You will work end-to-end across discovery and delivery: from understanding markets, strategic challenges of our clients, users and stakeholders to shaping product visions, roadmaps, feature sets and the UX and UI that bring them to life.

Key responsibilities include designing digital, AI-native products and services—experiences powered by AI agents, copilots, automation, and generative systems. You will focus on AI-driven UX, prompt-led interactions, adaptive interfaces, and the conceptual design of intelligent workflows. This spans both market-facing products and enterprise solutions.

You will also leverage Low-Code / No-Code environments (e.g., Replit, Lovable) to rapidly prototype concepts, validate hypotheses, and accelerate product delivery. Your role demands a hybrid skillset: think like a product strategist, work like a UX designer, and communicate like a consultant, comfortable in C-level conversations, user research, and technical product/UX discussions.

Key Responsibilities

Shape Product Strategy & Vision

• Define clear product visions, value propositions, and experience principles aligned with client business goals and Impact Studios’ strategic direction.
• Connect clients’ strategic challenges, user needs, AI opportunities, market trends, and business objectives into coherent product strategies and roadmaps.

Lead Product & Design Discovery

• Plan and run product and design research (qualitative, quantitative, strategic).
• Develop personas, journeys, service blueprints, ecosystem maps, and AI opportunity maps.
• Translate insights into sharp problem statements, product concepts, and testable hypotheses.

Design AI-Native Products & UX

• Create end-to-end product concepts, user flows, interaction models, and feature definitions incorporating AI-powered behaviors.
• Design AI-native UX patterns such as copilots, autonomous agents, adaptive UIs, intelligent suggestions, and multimodal interactions.
• Build wireframes, interaction models, and high-fidelity prototypes in collaboration with the UI team.

Hands-on UX Design & Visualization

• Produce wireframes, lo-fi & hi-fi prototypes, interaction specifications, and micro-interactions.
• Define and refine interface logic, flows, IA, and interaction patterns.
• Ensure design decisions reflect product strategy, research evidence, and technical constraints.

Orchestrate Cross-Functional Delivery

• Work closely with AI, engineering, data, and product teams to bring concepts into production.
• Support user story creation, acceptance criteria, and backlog refinement.
• Facilitate workshops across discovery, prioritization, design, and iteration cycles.

Use Low-Code / No-Code for Rapid Product Validation

• Prototype ideas using tools like Replit, Lovable, or other Low-Code / No-Code environments.
• Drive early validation of AI-based workflows and user interactions.
• Support internal teams in accelerating product delivery through rapid experiments.

Drive Quality & Contribute to Our Product Offering

• Champion human-centred, AI-aware product design.
• Mentor junior designers in product thinking, AI UX, and discovery methods.
• Contribute to Product Studios playbooks, frameworks, and methodologies.
