This role likely qualifies for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 3429 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £41,700, and Designit is a licensed sponsor. That is our reading of the rules. Whether they issue a Certificate of Sponsorship is still their call.
This could also be SOC 2133 (IT business analysts, architects and systems designers, Service design in computing/IT context; index entry exists) or SOC 2431 (Management consultants and business analysts, Role involves strategy, transformation, and business outcomes). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
About the role
Senior Service Designer
Location: London, UK| Discipline: Service Design
About Designit & Wipro
Designit, Wipro's experience, innovation, and design business, works at the intersection of creativity, technology, and strategy to help ambitious organisations grow and transform.
We take a holistic view of how services work — connecting people, processes, and technology to create experiences that are not only meaningful for users, but operationally sound and commercially viable for the organisations behind them.
The Opportunity
We're looking for a Senior Service Designer to join our London studio and play a central role in shaping how services are designed and delivered for our clients.
This is a hands-on, senior role that spans the full service design lifecycle — from understanding the problem space and mapping service ecosystems, through to designing future-state experiences and supporting implementation. You'll work across multidisciplinary teams and directly with client stakeholders to drive real, measurable outcomes.
Services today are increasingly shaped by the interplay between human and automated touchpoints — including AI-enabled pathways. At this level, you'll be expected to design for that complexity, bringing systems thinking and a user-centred lens to services that span digital and physical channels.
At this level, you'll move beyond execution to:
- Shape service strategy and define opportunities for transformation
- Drive quality and consistency across service design deliverables
- Influence client thinking and contribute to relationship and opportunity development
Key Responsibilities
- Lead service design workstreams across discovery, definition, and delivery — ensuring rigour, clarity, and impact at every stage
- Map and analyse service ecosystems, identifying how users, processes, technology, and organisational structures interact to deliver (or hinder) value
Experience & Skills
- Approximately 5–8 years' experience in service design, ideally within a consultancy, agency, or complex product environment
- Strong expertise in core service design methods — including service blueprinting, journey mapping, ecosystem mapping, and stakeholder mapping
- Proven ability to synthesise research and complex information into clear, actionable insights and service concepts
- Experience designing across multi-channel services spanning digital, physical, and human touchpoints
- Comfortable facilitating workshops and co-creation sessions with diverse groups — from frontline teams to senior leadership
- Ability to connect service design decisions to business strategy and measurable outcomes
- Confident presenting to and influencing senior stakeholders, making the case for design-led approaches
- Strong understanding of accessibility and inclusive design as core service quality attributes, not afterthoughts
Educational background in one or more of the following is valued but not essential:
- Service Design, Interaction Design, or a related design discipline
- Business, Strategy, or Management
- Psychology, Sociology, Anthropology, or Human-Computer Interaction
Ways of Working
- A systems thinker — able to see the big picture while managing the details that makes services work
- Collaborative and generous — working across disciplines and helping teams build shared understanding
- Comfortable with ambiguity — bringing structure and direction to complex, open-ended challenges
- Proactive and accountable — taking ownership of quality and driving work forward with pace and purpose
- Curious about emerging practices — including designing for AI-enabled services, evolving accessibility standards, and new ways of measuring service performance
What We Offer
- The opportunity to shape services for ambitious clients from our London studio
- A role within a collaborative, multidisciplinary team across Europe
- Meaningful responsibility and the chance to influence both client outcomes and Designit's service design practice
- Exposure to a range of sectors and project types
- A culture that values creativity, curiosity, and real-world impact
