Are you a go-getter? Do you enjoy solving complex problems? Do you want to make an impact?

Blue Cottage of CannonDesign has an exciting opportunity within our Strategic Transformation practice. Take a look at the description below. If you think your skills, experience and aspirations make you a good match for this position, we encourage you to apply.

In Strategic Transformation, you will play an integral role in the experience design process, partnering alongside industrial designers, architects, strategists, and engineers to transform client visions to reality through a design-centric approach. The ideal candidate is a “leap maker” – making the intangible…well, tangible by creating digital and physical prototypes of environments and / or experiences that meld the imagined and the practical – from ideation and conceptualization through tangible prototype and design standards.

• Lead end-to-end planning, design, and activation of experience design and prototyping projects – from need identification or contextual research to concept design to test planning to design detailing and fabrication 
• Gather deep and meaningful qualitative and quantitative data and translate to insights – both to uncover design challenges that require solving and also to test proposed solutions once developed 
• Lead the conceptualization and design / development of interactive environments that enable experiences at all scales, often focusing on the intersection of digital capabilities and physical space 
• Provide industry-leading subject matter expertise on experience design at the intersection of digital and physical – specifically leading in the area of prototyping and/or piloting  
• Provide guidance to clients and design teams working to develop visions for the future-forward concepts and/or facilities 
• Lead and facilitate visioning sessions, research activities, planning and design sessions, and other client work sessions to develop future state experiences and/or environments 
• Be a leading expert in the development and delivery of prototyping and piloting methodologies (in all their potential mediums) – including identification and inclusion of emerging technologies, equipment, materials, processes and service delivery models along with evaluation methods to enhance prototyping capabilities, client experiences, and project outcomes 
• Produce thought leadership at the forefront of the design industry, depicting how the intersection of new digital and physical capabilities will manifest in new experiences and environments that help people and communities flourish 
• Communicate prototyping / piloting expertise and planning concepts at the intersection of physical and digital capabilities and designs to clients and project teams, both verbally and through graphic and written …
