- Lead user research and usability testing to inform design decisions, identifying opportunities to improve user engagement and satisfaction.
- Go-to-Market Strategy:
- Develop and execute go-to-market plans for digital solutions, focusing on both product launch and ongoing market positioning.
- Work closely with global practice and sales teams to define messaging, target audiences, and key value propositions.
- Assist in developing client-specific sales materials, case studies, and demo presentations to support successful product adoption.
- Project Management & Delivery:
- Lead or assist in the management of digital transformation projects at client accounts, ensuring timely delivery within scope and budget.

- Drive a culture of innovation within the organization, encouraging the exploration of new technologies and design methodologies.
Your Skills:
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, IT, Business, or a related field.
- Proven experience (3+ years) as a Digital Consultant with a focus on the financial services sector.
- Strong understanding of UI/UX design principles and experience with design tools (Sketch, Figma, Adobe XD, etc.).
- Hands-on experience in developing and implementing go-to-market strategies for digital products.
