Oliver Wyman

Description:

Oliver Wyman, a Marsh (NYSE: MRSH) business, is a management consulting firm driven by deep industry insight, bold innovation, and a collaborative approach that cuts through complexity to help organizations navigate their most defining transformative moments.

Job Overview:

Oliver Wyman is seeking a Product Strategy Designer to strengthen product strategy through design at the initiative and epic level, operating upstream of delivery. This role sits within the Global Creative Studio and partners closely with Product Strategy, Product Design, and Research teams to shape product direction before execution decisions are made.

The Product Strategy Designer focuses on concept development, value articulation, and strategic design to support investment decisions, prioritization, and roadmap definition. The role translates strategic intent into clear, user-centered product concepts that align stakeholders and provide strong direction for downstream delivery teams.

Working as part of the product strategy workstream, the Product Strategy Designer:

• Collaborates with Product Strategy leadership to ensure strategic objectives are reflected in tangible, design-led concepts

• Works with Research and Insights teams to ground strategy in validated user needs, workflows, and real-world contexts

This role represents the voice of the end user at the strategy level, ensuring that product decisions are informed by user value, usability, and long-term product coherence—before commitments are locked into delivery.

• Partner with Product Design teams to guide design direction and ensure coherence across Quotient Inside products
• Collaborate closely with Research and Insights teams, including user interview assistance, to embed deep user empathy into product strategy
• Pressure-test concepts with product, engineering, and delivery partners to ensure feasibility
• Contribute to shared standards and best practices for product strategy and concept design

Experience Required:

• 8+ years of experience in product design, product strategy design, or experience design roles, with a strong focus on upstream concepting and strategic design
• Strong portfolio demonstrating concept development, strategic thinking, and high-fidelity design
• Experience working upstream of delivery to inform product direction and investment decisions
• Background in consulting, professional services, or complex enterprise environments preferred
• Proven ability to influence senior stakeholders through design, storytelling, and visual communication

Technical Skills:

• Expertise in Figma and related design and prototyping tools
• Experience leveraging AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Claude) to support ideation and design exploration
• Familiarity with digital product development environments

Skills and Attributes:

• Ability to synthesize research, insights, and strategy into compelling design narratives
• -Demonstrated ability to conduct and structure user interviews independently or in collaboration with research teams
• Strong collaboration skills with product, design, research, and engineering teams
• Executive-level communication and storytelling capability
• Comfort operating in ambiguity and shaping direction without formal authority

What we can offer you:

• Full time job contract with an attractive compensation package

• Opportunity for professional growth in a stable, global company
