About us

At Reodor Studios, we help ambitious companies turn growth goals into business reality. Over the last years we've scaled fast – talented people, dozens of high-impact projects, and a growing portfolio of ventures. Our work spans strategy, design, and technology—but unlike most consultancies, we don't stop at advice. Where others stop at slides, we build, test, and launch.

We're now looking for a Strategic Advisor – Design who will play a key role in driving our design consulting growth. This is a client-facing, commercially-driven role where you'll combine design excellence with a founder's mindset – helping organizations discover opportunities, design breakthrough solutions, and create competitive advantage through design-led innovation.

Why this role matters

What sets Reodor apart is that we're not just a consultancy. We also build companies. As a Strategic Advisor – Design, you'll spend most of your time working directly with clients – shaping design strategies, winning new work, and translating ambition into launched products and services. But you'll also get the chance to be part of our venture bets, where design ideas evolve into new startups with Reodor as a co-founder.

You'll be joining a team of designers, strategists, technologists, and entrepreneurs. More than two-thirds of us have started companies before, and all of us are driven by building things that matter.

What you'll do

Lead strategic design engagements – Take ownership of complex design challenges, craft design strategies that connect user needs to business goals, and lead cross-functional teams from insight to implementation.

Drive commercial growth – Own your own sales budget, identify new opportunities, lead client dialogues, and build long-term partnerships. You'll be a growth engine for the design practice, using design excellence to win and expand client relationships.

Deliver exceptional client value – Be hands-on in projects when it matters, ensuring our design work creates measurable business impact—not just beautiful artifacts.

Shape Reodor's design practice – Help evolve our design methods, offerings, and positioning as we scale. Define what strategic design means at Reodor, mentor the design team, and strengthen our reputation as leaders in design-driven innovation.

Bridge design and business – Speak fluently across disciplines. You can articulate design value in business terms, translate client challenges into design opportunities, and ensure design has a seat at the strategy table.

What we're looking for

• 5+ years' experience in service design, product design, or strategic design – with at least 2 years in consulting, agency leadership, or similar advisory roles

• Design expertise across disciplines – Design depth with cross-disciplinary fluency – You have deep expertise in service or product design,
  but understand how design connects to technical feasibility and business outcomes.
  You're comfortable working at the intersection of design, technology, and business strategy

• A commercial mindset – You know how to spot opportunities, build client relationships, scope projects, and close deals. You understand design as a business lever, not just a craft

• Strong communication and stakeholder management – You can present design work persuasively to C-suite executives, facilitate workshops with diverse stakeholders, and build alignment around design decisions

• Experience leading design from strategy to launch – You've taken projects from ambiguous briefs to market-ready solutions, and you're comfortable with the mess in between

• Entrepreneurial energy – Maybe you've started something of your own, or maybe you've just always worked like a founder. Either way, you think about business models, not just user flows

• A collaborative spirit – You elevate the people around you. You enjoy mentoring designers, partnering with strategists and technologists, and creating conditions for great work

We value people who are pragmatic, curious, self-driven, and action-oriented. You should thrive in a fast-paced environment where things don't just get designed – they get built.

What we offer

• A front-row seat to the most exciting part of design consulting: from identifying client challenges to launching new products, services, and ventures in the market

• A chance to work across both consulting and venture building – rarely found under one roof

• Real influence over the design practice: shape our methods, grow the team, define our positioning

• A flexible workday with real ownership of your time and impact

• A vibrant culture built on entrepreneurship, openness, and humor

• Competitive compensation and the option to join our equity program

• 6 weeks of vacation, plus the opportunity for up to 4 weeks of workation abroad

• The chance to pitch your own ideas as potential Reodor ventures

• Regular social and professional events: think annual kick-offs in Spain, Italy, France, or Morocco, and ski trips to our company cabin in Ål
