Lead Service Designer
Up to £62,000 plus excellent benefits (Grade D17)
Manchester city centre with flexible working options available

We’re looking for a lead service designer to join us and help us create products and services that provide commercial return and community benefit. Co-op is changing. We’re investing in our business and colleagues, embracing the culture, practices and technologies of the internet age, doing digital transformation on a grand scale. It’s a big job. But when we get it right, the benefits for our members, customers and communities are huge.

As a lead service designer, you’ll be responsible for service design in a business area whilst working as part of an agile, multidisciplinary team. You’ll collaborate with product teams and internal partners to make sense of complex systems. We’ll look to you to be a leader in our growing design community and shape service design at the Co-op. If you’re an expert at aligning the user experience with business goals, we can offer you the chance to build a career with a business that’s using digital to make a difference.

What you’ll do

•    map end to end services, experiences and processes
•    visualise services holistically across all touchpoints (online and offline)
•    communicate complex systems in simple terms
•    find the key problems to solve and opportunities for growth
•    consider the wider impact of the products you design, positively influencing the whole service experience
•    lead the strategic and iterative improvement of products and services
•    be an advocate for accessibility in all aspects of the design of a service
•    work with one of our principal designers to represent design within a business area, communicating decisions to digital and business colleagues
•    work directly in a multidisciplinary product team
•    support and contribute to our service design community of practice

This role would suit people who have

•    broad knowledge of service design, visual design, interaction design, content design and user research
•    great leadership skills, with a talent for working collaboratively and for  coaching other designers
•    expert knowledge of service mapping methods (for example service blueprints)
•    the ability to consistently deliver high quality, commercial products and services
•    significant experience using research to analyse behaviour and motivation, and making decisions based on evidence
•    the ability to make design decisions that lead to commercial return and meet user needs
•    a strong commitment to creating digital services that are accessible to all
•    experience working in an agile, multidisciplinary team environment
•    excellent communication and presentation skills, with a talent for building positive relationships across the business
•    a portfolio demonstrating knowledge of user research, service mapping, the end-to-end customer journey, processes and systems, and the impact on customer experience (you will be asked to provide a copy of this at interview stage)
