Creative Technologist (Design) - in Lisbon

Company:

Description:

Job Overview

We are seeking a Creative Technologist to join our Design team at Mercer. You will be joining us in building Oliver Wyman’s new in-house creative hub in Lisbon.

This is a hybrid role that has a requirement of working at least three days a week in the office.

Role Overview

We're building a design research team that sits alongside traditional creative teams, focused on uncovering scalable and tech-driven solutions for creative challenges.

You'll develop systematic frameworks ready for AI-driven automation, developing design systems that scale from individual digital outputs to comprehensive brand design ecosystems.

You have

• A diverse design background and you have been in contact with many disciplines (some UI is a plus)

• A keen eye for good design and the ability to anticipate design needs;

• The notion of what a great design system looks like

• A great understanding of brand and design as a whole, considering all it's instances.

You need to

• Know all about Figma and its possibilities is a must;

• Know the anatomy of a design system;

• Be proficient in the Adobe Creative suite is a must;

• Be fluent in AI tools (not a must but make sure you are willing to learn on the job)

You will

Build Integrated Design Systems

• Create systematic frameworks that span all brand expressions

• Develop design systems, component libraries, and documentation that work holistically across disciplines

• Structure design data to integrate seamlessly with technical prototypes

• Design templates and systems that can be automated and scaled programmatically

Experiment with AI-Enhanced Workflows

• Test and implement AI tools across image, video, audio, and text generation

• Develop automated workflows for brand asset creation;

• Build systematic approaches to AI-assisted design that can be adopted company-wide;

• Pioneer methods for programmatic design.

Research Through Making

• Participate in sprint-based experiments testing new creative-tech approaches

• Build design components that work within rapid prototype cycles

• Test systematic approaches against real creative challenges

• Iterate based on practical implementation learnings

What makes you stand out?

This role demands an entrepreneurial mindset that combines rapid learning agility with systematic problem-solving instincts. You'll need to quickly adapt to emerging tools and methodologies while testing ideas through making rather than extensive planning.

Success requires the ability to identify patterns across diverse design contexts, organize complex systems into usable structures, and communicate these concepts clearly to both creative and technical team members.

Most importantly, you must be comfortable with change within established workflows while working autonomously in a small, experimental team environment where resilience is essential.

Why join us?

At Oliver Wyman, you’ll join a global creative team that’s not afraid to experiment and iterate. We’re building the next generation of tools and experiences—together. If you’re passionate about innovation and want to help shape what’s next, we’d love to hear from you.

• We help you be your best through professional development opportunities, interesting work and supportive leaders.
