As a Service Designer you were born curious. You can deal well with different stakeholders and you like to think in terms of solutions. You don’t shy away from a challenge, but grab it with both hands. As the process progresses, more frameworks are created. This is where your UX skills and eye for detail come in handy.

About Forty

We are Forty. The innovation partner that is a real ally for entrepreneurs, companies and innovators who want to make progress in a rapidly changing and uncertain world. We look for opportunities ourselves and convert them into ambitious products that we want to make indispensable together with like-minded entrepreneurs, companies and innovators (such as HEMA and NOC*NSF). This is how we turn change into real progress together.

What does a Service & UX Designer do at Forty?

The content of your work will differ per type of customer or assignment, but you are mainly concerned with finding out the needs of users. You translate complex information and situations into concrete insights. You use the research in the digital solutions you devise, design and test.

Of course, you can’t do great work alone. You work together with Strategists, Service Designers, UX Designers, Visual Designers, Copywriters, Developers, Producers and customer teams. In addition to our own assignments, everyone at Forty is also committed to the company itself by completing HR, marketing or sales tasks. You also get time to develop your own startup ideas. We like to think along.
