Headquartered in Vancouver, Canada, with teams around the world, Appnovation builds AI products, delivers enterprise AI and digital solutions, and co-invests with clients to bring new AI products to market.\nABOUT THE PRACTICE \nProduct & Strategy is a consulting practice for practitioners who want to do the full job - defining what gets built, why it matters, and how it comes to life. We bring product thinking and strategic thinking together, integrated by practitioners who can do both. Our work spans product definition, customer experience, service design, transformation, and the delivery continuity that holds it all together. \nTHE ROLE\nAs a Senior Associate, you are an independent practitioner who leads meaningful portions of the work. You own requirements, backlogs, process maps, journeys, and prioritisation - the product-facing artifacts that keep delivery on track. You also connect that work to the strategic context it lives within, helping ensure what the team is building stays true to what the client actually needs. This is a role for someone who takes ownership, pushes quality higher every time, and uses every engagement as an opportunity to grow as both a product and strategic thinker. \nHOW WE WORK\nWe are a practice built on momentum. We learn constantly - because the work demands it and because we want to. We carry ideas into action, because thinking that stays in a deck doesn't count. We stay curious - asking better questions, pushing deeper, exploring what others miss. And we treat AI as a creative partner, not just a productivity tool - using it to expand what we can imagine, prototype, and build. If you are never satisfied with \"good enough\" and you want to do better every single time, you will find a home here. \nWHAT YOU'LL DO\nOwn detailed ticket writing and backlog translation for defined workstreams - you produce requirements and stories that teams can act on \nTranslate stakeholder needs and strategic direction into requirements, user stories, process maps, and backlog-ready artifacts \nApply and adapt product and strategy frameworks - customer journeys, service blueprints, prioritisation models, ecosystem maps - to the specific context of your engagement \nContribute to strategy engagements across product strategy, customer experience, service design, transformation planning, and research-led initiatives \nContribute analysis, synthesis, and structured thinking to the development of strategic recommendations \nIdentify risks, gaps, and dependencies within your workstreams and surface them proactively \nSupport continuity from strategic direction through to design, development, and QA \nFacilitate smaller working sessions and stakeholder clarifications with growing confidence \nContribute to proposal or pitch support where relevant \nUse AI and visual tools both to accelerate your work and to expand your creative range - exploring how AI can help you ideate, prototype, and challenge your own thinking \nPush the quality of your own work higher with every engagement, and actively coach junior team members on how to do the same \nWHAT YOU'LL BRING\n3-5 years of experience in product management, business analysis, strategy consulting, customer experience, service design, or a closely related field \nStrong ownership of product documentation - requirements, user stories, acceptance criteria, and process flows that teams can act on without heavy rework \nExperience applying frameworks to real product or client problems - you adapt rather than copy \nA developing ability to connect product work to strategic context and vice versa • Growing confidence in client-facing communication and facilitation • Curiosity that leads you to dig deeper and ask better questions \nA clear drive to keep learning and to raise the quality of your work consistently • Practical fluency with digital tools and AI-assisted ways of working \nA track record of delivering consistently and raising quality around you\nWhat Appnovation Offers\nChallenging and rewarding work with real impact\nDirect Access to Cutting-Edge AI Platforms\nDiverse and Inclusive Culture \nGrowth opportunities for personal and professional development\nA collaborative and innovative work environment where your ideas are valued\nExposure to exciting projects and high-profile clients\nSupportive work environment with access to company leaders\nHybrid working model\nWhat Benefits Appnovation Has to offer\nPrivate Medical Insurance\nDental Plan\nRegistered Retirement Savings Plan\nWellness Allowance\nME Days\nEmployee Assistance Programme\nFertility and Menopause Leave\nThank you for your interest in a career with Appnovation Technologies!
