Senior Associate Of Product Strategy

Product & Strategy is a consulting practice for practitioners who want to do the full job — defining what gets built, why it matters, and how it comes to life
We bring product thinking and strategic thinking together, integrated by practitioners who can do both
Our work spans product definition, customer experience, service design, transformation, and the delivery continuity that holds it all together
As a Senior Associate, you are an independent practitioner who leads meaningful portions of the work
You own requirements, backlogs, process maps, journeys, and prioritisation — the product-facing artifacts that keep delivery on track
You also connect that work to the strategic context it lives within, helping ensure what the team is building stays true to what the client actually needs
This is a role for someone who takes ownership, pushes quality higher every time, and uses every engagement as an opportunity to grow as both a product and strategic thinker
Own detailed ticket writing and backlog translation for defined workstreams — you produce requirements and stories that teams can act on
Translate stakeholder needs and strategic direction into requirements, user stories, process maps, and backlog-ready artifacts
Apply and adapt product and strategy frameworks — customer journeys, service blueprints, prioritisation models, ecosystem maps — to the specific context of your engagement
Contribute to strategy engagements across product strategy, customer experience, service design, transformation planning, and research-led initiatives
Contribute analysis, synthesis, and structured thinking to the development of strategic recommendations
Identify risks, gaps, and dependencies within your workstreams and surface them proactively
Support continuity from strategic direction through to design, development, and QA
Facilitate smaller working sessions and stakeholder clarifications with growing confidence
Contribute to proposal or pitch support where relevant
Use AI and visual tools both to accelerate your work and to expand your creative range — exploring how AI can help you ideate, prototype, and challenge your own thinking
Push the quality of your own work higher with every engagement, and actively coach junior team members on how to do the same
