Innovation Consulting Analyst

Overview

Innovation Designer

Think

• Help turn messy, ambiguous briefs into clear problems worth solving
• Contribute to connecting design decisions to the business outcomes that matter to the people you're working with
• Support the shaping of innovation programmes — from the first conversation through to delivery
• Bring your own point of view into the work and be willing to discuss and defend it

Learn

• Participate in and help design research with users and stakeholders — interviews, observation, co-creation — and turn what you find into something that drives decisions
• Support the facilitation of workshops and working sessions with client teams, learning how to create the conditions for alignment, not just the agenda
• Use AI tools as a genuine part of how you learn and explore — going further, faster, and in directions you wouldn't have found otherwise
• Stay ahead of what's emerging in design, technology, and business — and bring new thinking into the work

Communicate

• Make complex ideas visible — through wireframes, flows, frameworks, and experience maps that make the thinking clear to anyone in the room
• Build rapid prototypes and vibe-coded demos using AI tools — making abstract ideas tangible enough for a senior client to react to
• Create decks and materials that are sharp, clear, and worth reading — not just well-designed, but well-argued
• Present your thinking with confidence and receive feedback with openness and a genuine desire to improve
• Extras we'd love to see:
• You can think at both the user level and the systems level — you see connections others miss
• You can link a human experience to a business outcome and explain why it matters
• You have experimented with emerging technologies — GenAI, voice, spatial — and thought seriously about what they make possible
• You are drawn to other design disciplines — visual, content, service, business — and curious enough about each to collaborate well across all of them
• Desired experience & skills:
• A Masters degree in interaction design, product design, service design, design strategy, innovation, or a related field — or equivalent depth of thinking demonstrated through your work
• A portfolio that shows how you think, not just what you've made — we want to see your process, your questions, and your judgement
• Strong Figma skills and growing proficiency in the Adobe Creative Suite
• Active use of AI tools — Claude, Cursor, v0, Midjourney, or similar — to build, explore, and make things real
• Some exposure to research or facilitation — through academic projects, internships, or your own work
• You write well, speak clearly, and know what to cut
• You are drawn to complexity, not put off by it
• Experience in Saudi Arabia or the wider ME is a bonus. Curiosity about it is not optional.
• graduated in this KSA coop program and not necessarily from a college final year
