Strategic Designer
Ahoy Strategic Designers!
Adventure Club is an award-winning, international design and tech company with strong Nordic roots and a growing presence across Europe. We are a tight-knit team of around 50 ambitious adventurers who are ambitious to explore beyond. We don't just design interfaces; we bridge the gap between human-centric strategy and business-critical technology to create measurable value. We work with global brands in various industries.
We are looking for a Strategic Designer to join our team in Helsinki. You will work with a diverse mix of clients — from high-growth scale-ups building their foundation to established global brands seeking to "Operationalize Efficiency"
Your role is to act as a clarifier and expert guide. You don't need to be the loudest voice in the room; instead, you help stakeholders clarify their own thinking with your strong expertise. You navigate strong opinions and conflicting interests, building the trust needed to define a shared, actionable direction.
Your Impact:
Turn Chaos into Clarity: You take abstract goals and diverse inputs, bringing your expert perspective to synthesize them into a clear, coherent strategy
Facilitate Alignment: You design the discussions and frameworks that allow stakeholders to find common ground and move past internal friction
Orchestrate Value: You ensure every strategy maps back to real impact — whether that's launching a new venture, driving revenue, or optimizing efficiency
From strategy to execution: You ensure the vision survives the build. You create the roadmaps that bridge high-level thinking with practical execution
Who You Are Ideally?
4+ Years Experience: Strong background in Strategic, Business or Service Design, specifically within an agency or product teams
High Emotional Intelligence: You are a skilled listener who builds trust easily. You make diverse stakeholders feel heard and understood
Tech-Savvy: You understand the business implications of AI and automation, helping clients navigate "Digital Transformation" confidently
Commercial Fluency: You speak the language of business (ROI, OKRs) fluently and can use them to argue for design decisions
Fluent in Finnish & English: You need to navigate sensitive political landscapes and build trust in both languages
Curiosity and enthusiasm for exploring AI in versatile and creative ways
The way we work...
We believe in the value of Human Magic. While we embrace various tools, we know that the best collaboration, trust-building, and creative sparks happen when we work together. We bring courage, wisdom, and curiosity to our work – trying new ways, learning from experience, and exploring ideas openly. This combination allows our collaboration to thrive, our decisions to be grounded, and our creativity to flourish.
What We Offer:
Ambitious and Caring Culture: Join a multi-cultural, award-winning team that is redefining the industry
Impactful Work: Projects that focus on "End-to-End Execution" and long-term value, not just slide decks
Growth: A yearly budget dedicated to your personal development
Well-being: Comprehensive benefits including extended occupational health services, lunch, and recreational benefits
Talented and fun colleagues
Environment: A comfy, central office in the heart of Helsinki
Location: Helsinki (City Center)
Mode: Hybrid
