Innovation Design Strategist

Jump Associates

San Mateo, CA

Are you a hybrid thinker?

You’re a designer who isn’t just a designer. You want to influence the bigger picture by blending design, social research, and business strategy. We’re looking for the hybrid thinkers out there, those that are one part technologist, one part humanist, and one part capitalist. Our ideal candidate is a designer and futurist who wants to bring a creative lens to understanding people, and transforming those insights into new businesses.

Think of Jump Associates as a management consulting firm and design studio mash-up. Just like our company doesn’t fit into one mold, our people don’t either. We’re a collection of hybrid thinkers who bring together a world of different experiences to solve complicated problems every day, connecting the dots in ways that people haven’t before.
