What you have:

  • Experience leading teams or projects, and a desire to grow in this capacity.

What we offer:

  • Remote / distributed team work environment.
  • 100% paid medical, dental, and vision premiums and a $500 annual HSA deposit.
  • 401(k) match (4% of annual base salary.)
  • 15 days of paid time off and 11 paid company holidays.
  • $1,500 annual professional development reimbursement (You love your craft? We do too!)
  • $1,000 team engagement budget per team per quarter (Get to know your team, on us!)
  • Discretionary annual bonus.

View company profile

Whitespace is a strategic digital transformation consultancy dedicated to guiding in-house leaders who seek a human-centered approach to solving their most pressing business challenges. Headquartered in Switzerland with roots in Silicon Valley, the firm's senior team combines extensive design, data, and technology expertise to deliver enterprise-level product strategies and world-class customer and employee experiences. The company operates with a core team and a broad network of senior design, product, and technology professionals who collaborate across Europe, North America, and Asia-Pacific, advising global brands on their business transformation journeys. Whitespace's mission is to fundamentally change how organizations approach problem-framing, problem-solving, and the change process itself. The firm contends that while many organizations adopt Agile or SAFe methodologies, they often focus on outputs like features and velocity rather than on outcomes like problem-solving and value creation. This frequently leads to an over-emphasis on technology and an under-investment in design.

The core philosophy at Whitespace is that technology investments only succeed when human-centricity informs business strategy. Human-centered design, with its emphasis on continuous discovery and experimentation, is presented as the crucial missing piece in the transformation journey. The Whitespace approach integrates Design Research and DesignOps practices with established Agile SDLC and DevOps practices, creating a cohesive methodology that bridges the common gap between business and IT. This holistic method aims to foster a shared understanding and reduce project risks associated with large-scale transformation programs. The company's offerings span web, mobile, wearables, connected devices, blockchain, and spatial computing, utilizing a multi-vendor and multi-cloud tech stack. Core areas of expertise include Data Management and Artificial Intelligence, with a team of nearshore data scientists, machine learning experts, and senior AI architects experienced in LLMs, RAG, and agent orchestration. By blending Business, Design, Agile, and Change Management principles, Whitespace empowers organizations to achieve meaningful and sustainable transformation.
