We craft practical, powerful digital experiences that improve lives and transform businesses. Our teams [based in Japan, Bengaluru, New York, Charlotte, Atlanta, London, and remote] work with a wide range of organizations in many industries, including Healthcare, Financial Services, Retail, Automotive, Aviation, and Professional Services. This is a Tokyo-based position. 

Method is part of GlobalLogic, a digital product engineering company. GlobalLogic integrates experience design and complex engineering to help our clients imagine what’s possible and accelerate their transition into tomorrow’s digital businesses. GlobalLogic is a Hitachi Group Company, and there is extensive collaboration between all group companies. 

As a Senior Product Designer, you will work closely with Method clients and team members – Product, Development, and QA – to conceptualize and craft seamless user experiences that support business objectives.

You will be involved in product strategy from the very beginning, offering your knowledge and unique expertise to help shape product direction and turn ideas and concepts into a workable design. You will produce wireframes, prototypes, style guides and hi-fidelity designs to explore, experiment and ultimately advocate for simple, elegant solutions to complex problems.

You must be able to balance pixel-perfect attention to detail with low-fidelity design choices. At Method, we firmly believe that user feedback and data evolve products. Meetings and presentations are necessary to build consensus and achieve buy-in, but working software is the ultimate validation of any single approach.

Qualifications:

• Experience leading the design efforts for one or more successful – successfully shipped or successfully downloaded – online or mobile products. You know great UX, and you can walk us through your portfolio and tell a compelling story about the hard decisions and compromises you had to make along the way.
• Strong understanding of creating prototypes and production ready designs. This includes things like design systems, components, component libraries, accessibility, and interactive prototypes created through various methods including figma, AI tooling and vibe coding. You won’t necessarily be shipping production markup, styling, or code, but you see prototypes as just another means of communication. 
• Functionally bilingual in business Japanese (e.g. N2)  and English (e.g. ~TOEPIC 750)
• You understand why we have UI best practices, and you don’t try to reinvent dropdowns with each new project. You want the interface to look as polished as possible, but you also value a good hard deadline.
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to communicate persuasively across different audiences, to diverse people at varying levels of an organization. You design it, you pitch it. Nobody hides behind project managers here.
• An insatiable curiosity and a constant drive to do and be better. You download new apps and take screenshots. You try out new design tools. You attend industry events. You do stuff on the side. You love what you do, you want to be great at it, and you know there’s always something new to learn.

Location

• Remote first working with occasional need to be in our Tokyo office
• International travel for team and client meetings is required, typically up to 15%.

Why Method?

We look for individuals who are smart, kind and brave. Curious people with a natural ability to think on their feet, learn fast, and develop points-of-view for a constantly changing world find Method an exciting place to work. Our employees are excited to collaborate with dispersed and diverse teams that bring together the best in thinking and making. We champion the ability to listen, and believe that critique and dissonance lead to better outcomes. We believe everyone has the capacity to lead and look for proactive individuals who can take and give direction, lead by example, enjoy the making as much as they do the thinking, especially at senior and leadership levels.

^{About the role}

[The seniority/title is determined by job-related skills, experience, and evaluation after the interview.] 

We’re hiring Product Builders to shape the future of marketing for agents — where AI agents are no longer tools, but active participants in how products are built, decisions are made, and value is delivered.

AI agents are fundamentally reshaping:

• how products are built (AI-native, faster, more iterative)
• how marketing flows work (agent-driven discovery, decisioning, and execution)
• how brands and customers communicate (from campaigns → conversations → autonomous interactions)

This shift unlocks a new wave of opportunities — to redesign workflows, reimagine user experiences, and build entirely new product categories.

This is not a traditional PM / designer / engineer / GTM role.

You’ll operate as a builder at the frontier, using vibe coding, AI tools, and rapid prototyping to explore and ship products in this emerging space. You won’t just define what to build — you’ll build, test, and evolve it.

What you’ll do

Build, not just define

• Design and ship products — where agents discover, decide, and act on behalf of users.
• Ship fast, learn fast — iterate based on simulation or real usage.

Own problems end-to-end

• Identify meaningful problems worth solving (clear “why this matters”).
• Drive from discovery → prototype → launch → iteration → scale.

Operate with high agency

• Don’t wait for perfect clarity — create momentum, test hypotheses, and move forward.
• Take ownership of outcomes, not just outputs.

Redesign how brands and customers interact

• Explore new interaction models: agent-to-agent, human-in-the-loop, and autonomous workflows.
• Reimagine marketing workflows as agent-driven systems, not static funnels.

Focus on what truly matters

• Identify the core 1–3 things that make the product valuable, and execute them exceptionally well.
• Avoid overbuilding — prioritize signal over noise.

Collaborate to ship impact

• Work closely with engineering, design, data, and GTM as co-creators.
• Continuously refine based on real-world feedback and data.

What we’re looking for

We’re looking for experienced, high-agency product builders who thrive in new, undefined spaces.

Core traits

• Builder mindset: you ship, iterate, and learn quickly.
• High agency: you don’t wait — you create momentum.
• Strong product taste: you know what good looks like and push toward it.

Experience

• 3–8+ years in product, engineering, startup, or builder roles.
• Experience shipping products end-to-end (0→1 or 1→n) with multiple showcases, with learning and problems to share.
• Exposure to AI-native products, LLMs, or automation is required.

Skills

• Comfortable operating in ambiguity and fast-changing environments.
• Hands-on with prototyping (no-code, low-code, or code).
• Strong prioritization and product judgment.

Mindset

• You believe the future is being built now — and you want to build it.
• You learn by doing, not waiting.
• You care about real customer impact.

Bonus points

• Experience with AI agents, agent workflows, or automation systems
• Familiarity with marketing automation, CRM, or customer engagement platforms
• Experience with building AI products
• Background in startups or 0→1 product environments
• Technical background (engineering, data, etc.)

Why join us?

We’re at the start of a major shift: From marketing to users → marketing for agents. The way products are built, how decisions are made, and how brands interact with customers is being rewritten — and we’re building at the center of it. This means:

• New product categories
• New interaction models
• New ways to drive ROI

There are countless opportunities to create value for our customers in this wave — and we’re looking for builders to explore and capture them.

What success looks like in the first 6 months

• You’ve shipped multiple prototypes or products in the marketing-for-agents space with business impact
• You’ve identified and validated at least one high-impact opportunity in this new paradigm
• You’re operating as a trusted builder, turning ideas into real outcomes
• You’ve helped redefine how agent-driven marketing workflows should work
• Your work has contributed to shaping Appier’s direction in AI agents and agentic marketing
