Creative Technologist (Design) - in Lisbon

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.

Research Through Making

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.
