About The Position

TXI is looking for a Lead Product Designer who grounds innovation in humanity. Building the right thing is often harder than building it right. More than 80% of digital innovations fail because they are not solving the real user need. We take a pragmatic approach to innovation by deploying integrated teams to uncover insights from users and turn them into compelling digital solutions. As an employee-owned boutique strategy and product innovation firm, our capabilities include product discovery, delivery, and adoption. As a Lead Product Designer, you have the opportunity to strategically grow our design team and expand our design capabilities. We're looking for a Lead Product Designer with an established career in design leadership and a proven track record of driving design vision across complex projects. Some designers execute on strategy—you define it. You're not just interested in creating exceptional design work, you're driven to elevate teams, shape processes, and deliver innovative solutions that transform how our clients operate. You thrive in ambiguity, turning undefined challenges into clear paths forward. This is your chance to work with world-class consultants, shape the future of design at TXI, and create lasting impact for our clients and our people. Don't hesitate if you don't have 100% of the specifics listed. We have a preference for folks with previous consulting experience leading complex, politically nuanced engagements, but if you're a strong design leader with deep expertise and a passion for mentorship, we want to hear from you. TXI encourages everyone interested in a role to apply.
