  • Develop and test service concepts through low- and high-fidelity prototypes.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure smooth implementation.
  • Continuously evaluate and iterate services based on feedback and performance data.
  • Participate in and contribute to design critiques and feedback sessions to refine ideas and ensure alignment with project goals.
  • Analyze both qualitative and quantitative data to inform design decisions and understand user behavior.

What you’ll need

•    Education: Bachelor’s degree (or equivalent advanced degree) in User experience, Psychology, Innovation, or other fields relevant to the responsibilities of the role.

•    Experience: At least 2 years of progressive experience in Service Design.

Additional Education/Experience: Knowledge of artificial intelligence technologies and generative AI in relation to the tasks of a Business Analyst, as well as their potential application in workplace environments. Familiarity with ethical considerations and the responsible use of AI.

•    Languages: Proficiency in English and one of the other Bank official languages (Spanish, French or Portuguese) is required.

Requirements

•    Citizenship: You are a citizen of one of our 48-member countries. We may offer assistance with relocation and visa applications for you and your eligible dependents.
•    Consanguinity: You have no family members (up to the fourth degree of consanguinity and second degree of affinity, including spouse) working at the IDB, IDB Invest, or IDB Lab.
