Service Designer

Full Time

Essent

As a Service Designer in the Proposition Development team, you design and improve the customer journey of new propositions from start to finish. You clearly map out customer needs, create quick prototypes using your UX skills, and validate ideas in practice by talking to customers and testing what really works. In this way, you continuously learn how we can help customers better and ensure that our team develops propositions that are right from start to finish.

Energy moves you

Taking the next step in the energy transition. This can only be done by working together and taking ownership. In your role as Service Designer, you will aim for:

  • Identifying market opportunities and translating them into new propositions, with an eye primarily on customer needs, but also on commercial potential and technical feasibility.
  • Iteratively and creatively design, test, and improve these propositions, from initial idea to further development after launch. You do this through experiments with clear hypotheses and success criteria.
  • Facilitating (co-)creative workshops to clarify client problems or promote collaboration
  • Setting up and analyzing qualitative and quantitative studies, and translating this (behavioral) data and insights into improvements until the proposition delivers demonstrable value for both the customer and the business.
  • Pragmatic UX design: creating convincing prototypes and test materials (in Figma), such as app screens or a landing page, and testing them with experimentation tools like Lyssna and Miro.
  • Convincingly and visually presenting learnings and results to team members and stakeholders, and ensuring a careful transfer of propositions to Category Management.

Tom Rovers, Manager Proposition Development: “In this role, you will be part of the Proposition Development department. The team consists of 16 colleagues working in the roles of Proposition Developer, Service Designer, and Experiment Designer. Together, we focus on developing and validating new propositions from opportunity to launch and handover to Category Management. We are driven in our work and ambitious in our growth, but the real strength of the team also lies in the open atmosphere, learning together, and the fun we have along the way.” 

You are Essent

We are looking for team players and doers who want to make the Netherlands a little more sustainable. Who look at what can be done *now*. Today. To bring us closer to tomorrow. You recognize yourself in this and in the following image:

  • HBO/WO working and thinking level
  • At least 4 years of relevant work experience in service design, UX, concept development, or a similar role
  • Experience with service design, customer journey design, prototyping, and translating customer insights into concrete concepts.
  • Experience with setting up and facilitating a variety of validation experiments, customer tests, and iterative improvement cycles.
  • You are curious, creative, analytical, and hands-on, and know how to translate customer insights into solutions that work in practice.
  • Preferred: Experience and/or understanding of the energy sector 

The ideal candidate for this position combines creativity with analytical skills and thrives on speed and evidence. You quickly grasp customer problems, make assumptions explicit, and translate them into clear hypotheses, success criteria, prototypes, and experiments. You are a true maker and enjoy working iteratively (design thinking/lean start-up): testing, learning, refining, and revalidating until demonstrable customer and business value is achieved. You collaborate smoothly with various disciplines and bring stakeholders along by translating insights and data into concrete choices and actions.
