As our service designer, you’ll identify and solve our clients’ service problems. You’ll balance user needs, business needs and technical considerations. You’ll investigate and design the end-to-end, front stage and back stage service journey considering both the problem and solution space.
We’re currently shaping our service design offering for a range of clients. If this is something you’d be keen to get involved in, we’d love to hear from you.
What you’ll do within our teams
- evaluate how well a service is meeting user and business needs.
- ability to work at both program and project level and be a key role within each.
- define benchmarking criteria like KPIs and success measurements using a range of data sources and methods.
- plan and run workshops with users and stakeholders to gain a shared understanding and first-hand insights.
- undertake research and analysis alongside user researchers and other service designers.
- create service blueprints. You’ll collate information from multiple sources and disciplines to capture the full end-to-end journey.
- effectively communicate ideas, journeys, and solutions to a range of audiences. You’ll use the most appropriate tool or technique to do this.
- create prototypes at the appropriate level of fidelity to communicate ideas.
- strong experience designing within digital, but also other channels like telephony, mail, and face to face.
- consider solutions for different platforms, channels and devices. You’ll understand the possibilities and limitations of each.
- define clear and actionable recommendations for achieving business and user goals.
- influence change within teams, processes, and to stakeholders about the value of your service design work.
You’ll suit this role if you:
- have a strong understanding of all UCD disciplines and champion for them equally.
- have experience of solving wider scale problems not just immediate ones.
- can diplomatically and clearly articulate tensions between technical, business and user need. You communicate respectfully with clients who aren’t as familiar with service design.
- work well with all specialisms in a multidisciplinary team. You’ll also aid collaboration between previously separate/siloed people, departments and teams.
- understand agile processes and enjoy working with clients as they evolve and adapt.
- enjoy building trusting and open relationships with clients.
- can discuss and define strategy with senior stakeholders.
- provide guidance and leadership to all kinds of people, including teammates, consultants outside of UCD, stakeholders and client teams.
- can provide strategic guidance on proposed approaches and solutions. This includes any time and budgetary constraints.
- are skilled at spotting opportunities for work beyond the original scope or request.
- can influence and sell the value of service design to clients and their stakeholders.
