Opportunity!

We are looking for a Senior Product Design Consultant to design and deliver thoughtful, usable digital products as part of collaborative, cross-functional delivery teams.

You’ll work closely with client stakeholders, product leaders, engineers, and quality specialists—from early product shaping through release and continued improvement. You’ll translate customer and business needs into clear workflows, intuitive interactions, scalable patterns, and polished product experiences.

This is a hands-on consulting role grounded in strong product design fundamentals. You’ll work primarily within scaled delivery pods while using AI-assisted tools to accelerate exploration and prototyping, strengthen delivery context, and reduce the distance between design and working software.

Requirements:

• Significant experience designing and shipping digital products within cross-functional product or delivery teams.
• Strong foundations in product design, interaction design, information architecture, prototyping, accessibility, and user-centered research.
• A portfolio demonstrating complete product workflows and shipped outcomes, rather than only isolated screens or concepts.
• Strong proficiency with Figma, component-based design, and modern design systems.
• Experience translating product goals, user needs, business requirements, and technical constraints into clear and buildable experience direction.
• Experience designing end-to-end journeys and workflows across multiple roles, states, devices, and edge cases.
• Strong experience designing responsive web and/or mobile products.
• Ability to create user flows, wireframes, prototypes, detailed interface designs, and clear implementation guidance.
• Experience defining responsive behavior, interaction states, content expectations, accessibility requirements, and UX acceptance criteria.
• Experience working within established brand and design systems while identifying gaps and creating reusable patterns where appropriate.
• Strong collaboration with product managers, engineers, researchers, content designers, and quality specialists throughout delivery.
• Experience partnering directly with engineers through implementation, design QA, release, and iteration, rather than relying solely on traditional design handoffs.
• Experience conducting or supporting user research, usability testing, and concept validation.
• Experience using product analytics and user feedback to inform post-release improvements.
• Fluency with AI-assisted design, research, or development tools, or demonstrated experience actively incorporating these tools into product design workflows.
• Strong communication, facilitation, and stakeholder-management skills.
• Comfortable working directly with clients in complex, evolving, and iterative delivery environments.

Bonus points:

• Experience using Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, or similar AI-assisted development environments.
• Ability to create interactive or coded prototypes when they provide stronger learning or implementation context than static designs.
• Working knowledge of HTML, CSS, JavaScript/TypeScript, or modern frontend frameworks.
• Experience structuring design decisions and context so they can be effectively consumed by engineers and AI coding agents.
• Experience evaluating AI-generated interfaces or code for usability, accessibility, coherence, and design-system alignment.
• Experience designing AI-enabled or data-intensive product experiences.
• Experience contributing to or evolving design systems and reusable component libraries.
• Experience helping clients improve their product design practices, systems, or ways of working.

You’ll Love:

• Designing complete product experiences that move from early ideas through production and continued iteration.
• Working closely with engineers and product teams to turn design intent into high-quality working software.
• Solving complex workflows while maintaining clarity, usability, accessibility, and strong visual craft.
• Using AI-assisted tools to explore faster, prototype more effectively, and improve the quality of delivery.
• Working directly with clients as an embedded product partner.
• Balancing user needs, business priorities, technical constraints, and delivery realities.
• Contributing reusable patterns, tools, and practices that strengthen both individual products and the broader Modus Experience Design practice.

By joining our team, you’ll be part of a winning squad that plays to each other’s strengths and celebrates every success together.
