Strategic Designer (UX/UI)

At Flying Bisons, we’re building Europe’s leading Strategic Design & Implementation consultancy - delivering the quality, rigor, and impact you’d expect from top-tier consulting firms, but fully specialized in digital products and transformation. With a rapidly growing presence in the Middle East, we partner with enterprises and governments on their most high-stakes initiatives, shaping platforms and services used by tens of millions of people.

Our work directly influences how millions of people around the globe live, work, and interact with digital services. 

• Public Platforms - defining how 15+ million citizens and 1+ million businesses interact with the labor market in Saudi Arabia.

• Banking & Finance - building digital platforms for the largest banks in Europe and Saudi Arabia.

• Telecommunications - shaping customer experiences for telcos with a combined 150+ million subscribers.

• Education - working with the Ministry of Education in Saudi Arabia, the largest ministry in the country, on its digital transformation.

• Media - partnering with leading media platforms in Poland and Europe with a total reach of tens of millions.

• Consumer & Retail - from KFC and Hebe to NaTemat and Enel-Med, creating products used daily by millions.

Our uniqueness comes from going beyond design craft. As we wrote in our manifestos - Strategic Design - Manifest and Strategic Design - The Future of Design - design craft is only 10% of success. The other 90% - the Invisible 90% - is about navigating politics, aligning stakeholders, and protecting fragile visions until they reach reality.

That’s why we’re building the discipline of Strategic Design - and we want you to be part of it.

Now we’re looking for Strategic Designers - the changemakers who lead our projects from the very beginning through launch, turning complexity into clarity and vision into reality.

As Flying Bisons shifts further toward strategic design, the Strategic Designer role is becoming the backbone of our delivery model. Strategic Designers lead the entire flow - from initial offer, research, strategy, concept, and validation through UX/UI design and development support.

They are the frontline project owners: the people who protect the vision, navigate politics, structure complexity, and ensure projects land successfully in the real world.

You’ll be supervised by a Partner and supported by the Delivery Director - but the project’s success will be yours to own.

• Leading high-stakes projects end-to-end, from framing the challenge to launch readiness.

• Structuring complexity into actionable plans, using frameworks like the Project Pyramid.

• Managing and aligning diverse stakeholders, including C-level executives, ministries and enterprise teams.

• Navigating politics: knowing when to negotiate, compromise or stand firm.

• Bridging business, design and technology, speaking the language of each.

• Guarding the design vision against organizational chaos, ensuring it reaches users intact.

• Collaborating with stream leaders, researchers, designers and developers to deliver measurable impact.
  

• Solid background in UX and/or UI design, craft foundations are non-negotiable.

• Experience with large-scale projects, such as enterprise platforms, government services or complex corporate ecosystems.

• Strong business literacy, with the ability to connect design decisions to strategy.

• Excellent facilitation, communication and storytelling skills.

• Resilience and calmness under pressure.

• Proficiency in English, C1/C2.
  

• Work on high-stakes, high-impact projects, including ministries, banks, telcos and global brands.

• Be part of a team pioneering the discipline of Strategic Design.

• Collaborate directly with C-level leaders, governments and enterprises.

• Grow beyond design craft into a role AI cannot replace.

• Accelerate your career in an entrepreneurial, elite, high-performance culture.
  

• B2B cooperation for independent contractors.

• Suggested commercial range: 20 000 to 25 000 PLN net + VAT per month, depending on experience, expertise, scope and availability.

• Remote cooperation.

• Cooperation in an Apple and Google Workspace-based environment.

• Access to selected project tools, systems and environments where required for project delivery, security or client compliance.

• For long-term B2B collaborators, there may be an option to purchase selected benefits, such as a MultiSport card or enel-med medical packages, on preferential group terms, subject to provider availability and applicable conditions.

• Possibility to cooperate with experienced specialists from strategy, design, research, product, analytics, technology and delivery areas.

• The cooperation is based on agreed project outcomes, delivery quality and clear communication.
