ustwo · Senior Strategist Application

Hi ustwo. I build strategies for digital products people actually want to use.

I'm Chris Bradshaw — a senior product strategist, facilitator and AI innovation leader. For several years at Infinum, I led exactly the kind of discovery, proposition and product strategy work this role calls for. Today I help teams turn ambiguity into useful products, services and human-centred AI experiences.

Not another PDF into the void. A tiny product-shaped hello.

Introduction

A 90-second hello

Rather than asking you to decode a CV like ancient hiring archaeology, I recorded a short introduction to explain why this role feels like such a natural fit.

Alignment

Why ustwo?

ustwo's work sits in the space I care about most: human-centred products, strategic clarity, multidisciplinary teams and technology that earns its place in people's lives. The mix of product strategy, design craft, technical depth, people-first AI, play thinking and behavioural science feels like exactly the kind of environment where my experience can be useful.

Human-centred products

Products are only worth building if people actually use them.

At Infinum, every discovery engagement started with real people — not assumptions or briefs. My job was to make sure what got built was what humans actually needed to do.

Strategy into delivery

Strategy without delivery is expensive PowerPoint.

I've handed strategy to engineering, stayed in the room through launch, and iterated on real data. The best strategy I've written is the one that's still running two years later.

People-first AI

AI should make people's work better, not just impress investors.

Every AI engagement I run starts with: who benefits, how, and what happens if it goes wrong. Technology earns its place — it doesn't just take it.

Play thinking

The best decisions happen when people think together well.

100+ workshops across sectors — from startup boards to global product teams. I design the room so the right thinking happens, then get out of the way.

The fit

Why I think I fit

🏢
Track record

I've done this inside a product studio

At Infinum, I was Product Strategy Director within a global digital product consultancy, leading discovery, proposition development, product strategy and innovation work across multidisciplinary teams.

🌀
Superpower

I'm strongest in ambiguity

I help teams move from unclear problems to sharp opportunities, prioritised concepts and practical roadmaps.

🔗
Breadth

I bridge strategy, design and technology

I can work with executives, researchers, designers, product managers, engineers and delivery teams without forcing the work into one narrow discipline.

Facilitation

I facilitate decisions

I design and lead workshops that help senior teams think clearly, make decisions and build momentum.

AI

I bring human-centred AI

I help organisations understand where AI creates genuine value, where it should not be used, and how to design responsible products and ways of working around it.

Closest proof point

The Infinum match

For several years, I held a very similar role at Infinum — a global digital product consultancy working across product strategy, design, technology and delivery. I led senior client engagements from discovery through to strategy, opportunity framing and delivery roadmaps.

The process on the right is not hypothetical. It's what I actually did, engagement after engagement, with cross-functional teams across sectors.

Discovery

Stakeholder mapping, problem framing, research planning

Research synthesis

Patterns, insights, opportunity territories

Opportunity framing

How-might-wes, prioritised bets, strategic choices

Proposition design

Concepts, prototypes, positioning

Roadmap

Phased delivery plan, MVP definition, success metrics

Delivery alignment

Handoff to engineering, ongoing strategic support

Process

How I work

01

Make the problem sharper

Before solving anything, I get forensic about what problem is actually worth solving and for whom.

02

Understand people and context

Research, stakeholder immersion, behavioural patterns — the real data that stops teams building for themselves.

03

Frame opportunities

Synthesis into crisp opportunity areas. Not just insights — actionable direction that earns organisational momentum.

04

Facilitate alignment

Workshops, sprint facilitation, senior decision sessions — I design and run the room so the right thinking happens.

05

Prototype the direction

Concepts, proposition sketches, low-fi prototypes. The point is shared understanding, not pixel perfection.

06

Turn strategy into momentum

Roadmaps, prioritisation, delivery scaffolding. Strategy is only useful if it leads somewhere.

AI strategy

AI, but useful.

My AI work is not about chasing novelty. It is about helping organisations decide where AI can improve products, services, operations and decisions in ways that are useful, responsible and genuinely adoptable.

Problem-first

Every AI engagement starts with the problem worth solving, not the technology.

Responsible by design

Ethics, risk and governance built in — not bolted on at the end.

Built around people

Designed for how people actually think, work and decide — not how we wish they did.

Practical enough to ship

Ideas that can actually move from discovery into production at your organisation.
