Senior Principal Product Designer

Who You’ll Work With

Are you a designer who leads? Do you have a passion for developing creative talent and evolving your teams’ skills as well as your own? Can you guide a team through ambiguity, earn trust at the executive level, and still roll up your sleeves when the moment calls for it?

Our Customer Experience (CX) team is looking for a Senior Principal, Experience Design to lead our growing Colombia team. This is a senior delivery and leadership role where you will own design direction on complex engagements, grown, develop and mentor a high-performing team in Colombia, and serve as a trusted advisor to client stakeholders from discovery through delivery.

At Slalom, Experience Design is more than a service line, it is a leading discipline for delivering lasting, meaningful, and impactful work. We believe design is not something to hand off, but an integral part of product development from front to back. If you are energized by hard problems, motivated by the growth of others, and excited about where design is headed, we would love to hear your story.

We are looking for candidates who are open to working in a hybrid environment as we build and grow our team in Colombia. We offer a flexible working model that balances independent work with in-person collaboration at our local office.

Slalom's Customer Experience (CX) team is a group of diverse individuals who happen to be world-class multidisciplinary creatives, designers, researchers, and strategists. We\'re artists and technologists, sure. But we\'re also athletes and farmers, carpenters and musicians, educators and data nerds, and so much more. Together, we operate with a shared passion for building great products with great clients.

This role sits within the Experience Design capability of CX and reports to senior design leadership in Latin America. You will partner closely with technology practitioners across capabilities and collaborate across the full Slalom delivery ecosystem.
