About the Role
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.
We are looking for a Senior Design & Product Strategist who bridges UX Design, Product Strategy and Product Management. This position combines strategic, conceptual and h[LC1] ands-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.
A key part of your work will be designing digital, AI-native products and services - experiences powered by AI agents, copilots, automation and generative systems. You bring experience in AI-driven UX, prompt-led interactions, adaptive interfaces and the conceptual design of intelligent workflows. The scope covers both, market-products addressing commercial customers as user groups as well as enterprise solutions addressing internal stakeholders and users of our clients. [LC2]
You also enjoy leveraging Low-Code / No-Code environments (e.g., Replit, Lovable) to rapidly prototype concepts, validate hypotheses and accelerate product delivery.
You think like a product strategist, work like a UX designer, and communicate like a consultant: comfortable in C-level conversations, in the research field with users and in detailed product/UX decisions with tech teams.
