About Flying Bisons
Flying Bisons is a leading Strategic Design & Digital Consulting company based in Warsaw, with projects across Europe and the Middle East. Our mission is to help our clients Unleash Digital Potential™.
We work at scales where real impact happens: enterprise platforms, government services, and corporate ecosystems used by millions of people. Our projects include national workforce platforms (Qiwa, Ajeer), education ecosystems (Madares), major banks (Bank Pekao, Alinma), global telecoms (Ooredoo, Salam), and international brands (KFC, Hebe, NaTemat, Enel-Med).
Our uniqueness comes from going beyond design craft. As we wrote in our manifestos - Strategic Design - Manifest and Strategic Design - The Future of Design - design craft is only 10% of success. The other 90% - the Invisible 90% - is about navigating politics, aligning stakeholders, and protecting fragile visions until they reach reality.
That’s why we’re building the discipline of Strategic Design - and we want you to be part of it.
Now we’re looking for Strategic Designers - the changemakers who lead our projects from the very beginning through launch, turning complexity into clarity and vision into reality.
Why this role matters
As Flying Bisons shifts further toward strategic design, the Strategic Designer role is becoming the backbone of our delivery model. Strategic Designers lead the entire flow - from initial offer, research, strategy, concept, and validation through UX/UI design and development support.
They are the frontline project owners: the people who protect the vision, navigate politics, structure complexity, and ensure projects land successfully in the real world.
A Partner is your main point of contact and the Delivery Director supports the engagement. The project's success is yours to own.
Scope of services
Leading high-stakes projects end-to-end, from framing the challenge to launch readiness.
Structuring complexity into actionable plans, using frameworks like the Project Pyramid.
Managing and aligning diverse stakeholders, including C-level executives, ministries and enterprise teams.
Navigating politics: knowing when to negotiate, compromise or stand firm.
Bridging business, design and technology, speaking the language of each.
Guarding the design vision against organizational chaos, ensuring it reaches users intact.
Collaborating with stream leaders, researchers, designers and developers to deliver measurable impact.
What we are looking for
Solid background in UX and/or UI design, craft foundations are non-negotiable.
Experience with large-scale projects, such as enterprise platforms, government services or complex corporate ecosystems.
Strong business literacy, with the ability to connect design decisions to strategy.
Excellent facilitation, communication and storytelling skills.
Resilience and calmness under pressure.
Proficiency in English, C1/C2.
What this engagement gives you
Work on high-stakes, high-impact projects, including ministries, banks, telcos and global brands.
Be part of a team pioneering the discipline of Strategic Design.
Collaborate directly with C-level leaders, governments and enterprises.
Grow beyond design craft into a role AI cannot replace.
Work on a client portfolio few agencies get access to.
