Technical Product Designer (Consultant)

Employment Type: Full-time Location Type: Remote Salary: Not specified

Position Overview

AG Consulting Partners is seeking a Technical Product Designer (Consultant) to join our dynamic consulting team. In this role, you'll help drive product innovation by designing intuitive, scalable solutions leveraging Dynamics 365 and Power Platform. The ideal candidate will have a strong product mindset, outstanding communication skills, and a passion for creating seamless user experiences. This is a fast-paced, high-impact opportunity to work cross-functionally with product managers, developers, and business stakeholders to enhance partner-facing and internal tools.

Work Location Flexibility

Currently, this role provides the option for remote work; however, flexibility from our consultants is crucial for both our team and clients. Our project activities are dictated by client requirements, which, at times, might necessitate in-person collaboration. Should a client’s onsite or return-to-office policy evolve, consultants must comply with those expectations. We strive to offer as much advance notice and assistance as possible in such circumstances that arise.

Responsibilities

As a Technical Product Designer (Consultant) for AG Consulting Partners, a typical day might include the following:

• Lead User Research Initiatives: Plan and conduct qualitative and quantitative research methods—such as interviews, surveys, and usability testing—to uncover user needs, behaviors, and pain points. Synthesize findings into actionable insights that influence design and product strategy.
• Define Problem Statements and Experience Goals: Translate research insights and stakeholder input into clear, user-centered problem statements and design objectives. Use these to frame design hypotheses and ensure alignment with broader business outcomes.
• Facilitate Ideation and Solutioning Sessions: Lead and contribute to brainstorming workshops with product managers, developers, and business stakeholders. Explore multiple concepts, push for creative solutions, and ensure design feasibility with technical teams.
• Design Prototypes and Proofs of Concept (POCs): Use Figma, Power Apps, and other low-code tools to create interactive prototypes that convey experience flows and UI behavior. Build working POCs to validate ideas and gather feedback early in the product lifecycle.
• Develop User Stories and Functional Requirements: Translate design outputs into detailed user stories and acceptance criteria to ensure clarity and alignment with development teams. Help prioritize design work in collaboration with product owners.
• Drive Agentic Design Experiences: Integrate automation and personalization into designs to improve efficiency, productivity, and user satisfaction. Utilize tools such as Power Automate to enable agentic features that anticipate and respond to user needs.
• Collaborate Across Teams to Shape Product Roadmaps: Work closely with product managers and engineering leads to ensure designs align with strategic priorities. Influence product planning through user insights and data-driven recommendations.
• Champion Usability and Accessibility Standards: Advocate for inclusive design principles, ensuring all user experiences are accessible, intuitive, and aligned with best practices across devices and environments.
• Support Product Adoption and Training: Create engaging product documentation, guidance, and onboarding materials. Coach end users on how to effectively engage with tools and features through live sessions, written guides, and quick-start resources.
• Maintain Design Consistency and Quality: Apply consistent UI patterns and branding standards. Provide feedback to peers and development teams to uphold design integrity from concept to implementation.
• Stay Ahead of Industry Trends: Continuously learn and experiment with new design methodologies, tools, and technologies, including AI-assisted design, to keep our solutions modern, scalable, and forward-thinking.
