Job Board

Introduction

The Service Designer will collaborate with Senior team members and client stakeholders to create insightful, empathetic, value-oriented experiences for organizations, their employees, and end customers. Utilizing design thinking and mixed research methodologies, you will conduct user research and testing, facilitate co-creation workshops, build digital prototypes, as well as contribute to the rationale behind human-centred business strategies.

No one is an island — We believe in sharing work early and often, so you will work iteratively and collaboratively on rough notes and sketches, before hunkering down on detailed high-quality deliverables for our clients. You will harness your problem-solving skills to connect the dots between user pain points, opportunities, and insights derived from asking the right questions to the right people. Involving stakeholders in your process is second nature because you understand the challenges in change management across frontstage and backstage functions.
