Appnovation is a global, full-service digital partner that combines Strategy, Experience & Design, Engineering and Managed Services. We build digital solutions that deliver real impact today and serve as foundations for future growth. Bold ambition. Practical action. Endless possibilities.

ABOUT THE PRACTICE
Product & 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.

THE ROLE
As 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.

HOW WE WORK
We 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.
