The posting
Are you a designer who thinks like a consultant? Someone who enjoys solving complex client problems, shaping strategy, and turning ideas into compelling solutions — while also having the commercial instinct to help win new business?
We’re looking for a Design Strategy & Business Development Consultant to join our growing team.
This is not a traditional design role. You’ll sit at the intersection of management consulting, design strategy, innovation, and business development — working with clients to understand their challenges, identify opportunities, and shape solutions that create tangible business value.
Responsibilities:
- Partner with business development teams to develop winning proposals, pitch decks, case studies and client narratives
- Engage directly with clients to understand their business challenges and translate them into design and innovation opportunities
- Lead or support discovery workshops, co-creation sessions and client conversations
- Apply design thinking, service design and research methodologies to develop experience maps, service blueprints and actionable strategies
- Conduct customer, market and trend research to uncover insights and strengthen our propositions
- Work closely with consultants, strategists, designers, AI and technology teams to take ideas from vision to value
- Help scope engagements, define approaches and articulate the business value of design
- Contribute to business development and sales activities — identifying opportunities, shaping propositions and supporting pitches
Who are we looking for?
You could come from design, management consulting, service design, innovation, research, or a related field.
More importantly, you are someone who:
- Has a strong grounding in design thinking, service design or design methodologies
- Can quickly understand a client's business problem and structure it into a clear approach
- Is comfortable moving between research, strategy, design and commercial conversations
- Has experience contributing to proposals, pitches, sales or business development
- Is a strong storyteller who can turn complex ideas into compelling presentations and narratives
- Can translate customer insights into practical, commercially relevant solutions
- Is confident working with senior stakeholders and building trusted client relationships
- Thrives in fast-moving environments where priorities can evolve
- Enjoys working collaboratively across consulting, design, technology and business development teams
