• Create service blueprints and user journey maps to visualise the end-to-end experience and solve complex problems.
• Facilitate workshops with stakeholders and delivery teams to maintain alignment, encourage engagement, and gather insights.
• Ensure adherence to the client’s design standards, systems, and best practices.
• Work closely with multidisciplinary teams—including Interaction Designers, User Researchers, Content Designers, Developers, and Performance Analysts.
• Confidently present work and rationale to both internal teams and client stakeholders.
• Use evidence and data to iterate on designs, form hypotheses, and validate them through testing.
The following skills and experience are essential for this role:
• Relevant experience as a Service Designer or similar field
