We work with the giga projects and organisations redefining Saudi Arabia and the wider region — helping their leaders find their most important growth opportunities and turn them into reality. We imagine what's possible. Then we go build it. As an Innovation Designer, you: Think clearly, learn fast, and make things that help people decide. You have a strong understanding of design and a genuine hunger to apply it to problems that matter. You are comfortable not knowing the answer yet — because you have the tools, the curiosity, and the rigour to go find it. You work across research, strategy, facilitation, and craft without needing to be asked which hat to wear. You are at the start of your career, but not the start of your thinking. You bring intellectual seriousness, genuine craft, and a curiosity that doesn't switch off when the brief is done.
