Blending UX and Service Design expertise with strong systems thinking, you'll transform complex journeys into intuitive and seamless interactions that deliver real value for both users and the business; whether evolving existing experiences or designing greenfield solutions from scratch.

You are a proactive and self-driven individual, and your focus will be on creating scalable, insight-led service blueprints and brand new product experiences, at pace.

Your responsibilities will also include:

• Planning and facilitating user research, co-creation sessions and stakeholder workshops to uncover needs, pain points and opportunities
• Defining and clearly articulating "As-Is" and "To-Be" customer journeys that align with organisational goals and user needs
• Collaborating with cross-functional teams to co-create service solutions that integrate digital, physical, and operational touchpoints and building relationships with stakeholders and product team members
• Building strong relationships with stakeholders and product team members to influence and embed design thinking
• Working with a design system, creating service frameworks and process flows to support consistency and scalability
