Summary
Believe you can make things happen? So do we!
At Avanade, we bring technology, business needs and human experiences to life. Our Creative and Experience capability develops practical digital experiences, product strategies and AI-enabled solutions that drive value now, while being flexible to respond to changing customer and business needs.
Our clients need your boldest inspirations to unlock their potential and own what's next. We are committed to helping our clients accelerate progress, creating momentum through our focus on business outcomes, human interactions and relationships, and the delivery of high-performance technology solutions. To support the growth of our team we are looking for curious, collaborative and capable consultants who can partner with our clients to unlock the full value of digital technologies.
As a Senior Product Designer, you know your clients' needs inside and out. You can come at product and experience problems from every angle, working side-by-side with clients and colleagues from early discovery through to delivery. You will develop as a trusted advisor based on your product design craft, consulting judgement and ability to turn ambiguity into clear, deliverable experience direction.
About you
You can lead the design side of discovery and definition for a product stream.
You use qualitative and quantitative research, data and client context to inform insights that drive product and strategic opportunities.
You are a curious, collaborative and capable consulting professional who can bring together design, strategy and technology.
You can guide less experienced designers, manage stakeholder conversations and produce client-ready deliverables.
You are AI-native in practice, using modern design, canvas and prototyping tools to accelerate exploration while keeping judgement, accessibility, evidence and delivery quality in control.
What it's like to work with us
At Avanade, we are motivated by a clear purpose: to make a human impact. Our creative, experience and advisory teams are expanding and there is plenty of opportunity to grow your career. You will be supported by seasoned leadership who will encourage you, challenge you and advocate for you.
Often working in compact, multidisciplinary teams, individuals can have a significant impact on our client relationships, market offerings, delivery quality and fellow team members.
Avanade combines the agility and energy of specialist teams with the resources of Accenture and Microsoft ecosystem expertise. That means great craft needs to be matched by consulting discipline, client empathy, commercial awareness and the ability to help organisations move from ambition to delivery.
About the Job
As a Senior Product Designer, we are looking to you to partner with colleagues and clients to make product ambitions a palpable reality. You will collaborate with product owners, engineers, solution architects, advisory teams and client stakeholders to direct, define and design product experiences for leading enterprise clients. To do this, you will apply your product design craft, critical thinking and consulting skills to diagnose and resolve complex business and user problems through innovative digital solutions.
In this role, you will play a key role in:
Lead discovery and definition for a product stream, including research planning, contextual inquiry, synthesis, journey/task flows, information architecture and product direction.
Define product design approaches that accelerate digital adoption, improve user outcomes and support business cases for investment.
Design end-to-end product and omnichannel experiences across B2B, B2C and B2B2C environments, including AI-enabled and machine-human interactions where relevant.
Create and govern Figma or similar design/prototyping artefacts, design-system patterns, prototypes, behavioural annotations, acceptance criteria and delivery handoff materials.
Guide Product Designers and Experience Designers so design decisions are usable, accessible and delivery-ready.
Partner with Design Engineers to test feasibility, create rapid coded or AI-assisted prototypes and reduce handoff risk before delivery teams commit.
Help clients understand short and long-term implications of product, design, AI and technology shifts across policy, people, process and platform dimensions.
Contribute to business development opportunities, pursuits, reusable assets and communities of practice.

Strong product design capability across discovery, research, synthesis, interaction design, UI craft, visual design, prototyping, usability testing, design systems, accessibility and delivery handoff.

Demonstrable skills in analysing and understanding complex problems experienced by medium to large-scale organisations from strategy to implementation.
A track record of delivering project workstreams and client deliverables through coordination, focus on outcomes and empathy for people across different backgrounds.
