Senior Product Strategist (Contract)
The person we're looking for
We’re looking for a Senior Product Strategist who thrives in ambiguity and can bring clarity, alignment, and momentum to complex product spaces.
This role is less about producing research artifacts and more about shaping direction: aligning stakeholders around a shared vision, defining intentional product strategies, and creating actionable plans that teams can rally behind.
You’ve worked in low digital product development maturity environments, and know how to meet teams where they are: bringing structure, building trust, and elevating how product decisions get made.
You’re an exceptional communicator and facilitator, especially in remote settings, and you know how to guide groups toward meaningful outcomes, not just conversations.
Job Overview
Some things you will be responsible for:
Define and drive product strategy
Shape clear product visions grounded in user, business, and operational realities
Translate ambiguity into structured, actionable plans and roadmaps
Ensure strategic decisions are intentional, not reactive
Align stakeholders and build momentum
Facilitate alignment across cross-functional stakeholders with differing perspectives
Navigate competing priorities, risks, and constraints
Build shared understanding and buy-in around product direction
Lead high-impact workshops and working sessions
Plan and facilitate engaging remote workshops (visioning, prioritization, journey mapping, etc.)
Drive sessions toward clear decisions and next steps
Adapt facilitation style based on audience and level of product maturity
Synthesize insights into strategic direction
Leverage discovery inputs (research, data, stakeholder perspectives) to inform decisions
Turn complex inputs into clear product implications and priorities
Connect user needs to business goals in a way that drives action
Ensure continuity from strategy through design
Stay actively involved from discovery through design exploration and validation
Partner with design to ensure strategy and insights are accurately reflected in solutions
Guide teams in applying insights to real product decisions, avoiding “handoff” gaps
Define and guide validation approaches
Develop testing strategies for early-stage concepts to de-risk direction
Select appropriate methods based on timeline, risk, and required confidence
Translate learnings into clear recommendations that shape next iterations
Partner closely with design and product teams
Collaborate across functions to maintain strategic coherence
Support teams in making informed trade-offs aligned with the broader vision
Help elevate product thinking and practices within client teams
Requirements
This is a contract position
5+ years in product strategy, UX research, or related strategic roles
Demonstrated experience leading generative and evaluative research (user interviews, diary studies, usability testing, etc.)
Track record of translating research insights into actionable recommendations and articulating their business impact
Excellent facilitation, storytelling, and cross-functional collaboration skills
