This is the job

At AA-X, we’re redefining the future of car ownership through cutting-edge connected car products. As our Service Designer, you’ll be at the heart of a fast-paced venture incubator, working alongside passionate experts to design and launch entirely new services that deliver real value to drivers. This is your chance to shape product categories from the ground up – translating complex data into intuitive, empowering experiences.

You’ll operate at the intersection of customer insight, service design, and product innovation – partnering closely with R&D, Data Science, and cross-functional teams to turn emerging technologies into meaningful solutions. From validating early-stage ideas to crafting blueprints and journeys that guide delivery, you’ll play a pivotal role in ensuring our products are desirable, feasible, and commercially sound.

What will I be doing?

• Lead customer and market research to uncover actionable insights and shape strategic opportunities.
• Translate complex data into compelling customer journeys and service blueprints.
• Design integrated, user-led services across digital and physical touchpoints.
• Collaborate with R&D, product, and engineering teams to ensure solutions are grounded in real customer needs.
• Facilitate workshops and present concepts that influence and align stakeholders.
• • Champion inclusive, evidence-based design practices that drive commercial and customer value.

  What do I need?

  • A strong blend of strategic thinking and hands-on technical capability in service design, with a track record of delivering impactful solutions.
  • Practical experience working with AI and emerging technologies, ideally within data-rich environments.
  • Deep expertise in user research, particularly in synthesising insights to inform product and service strategy.
  • Experience across both corporate innovation and start-up environments, with the ability to navigate complex organisational structures.
  • Proven ability to collaborate closely with cross-functional teams including R&D, Data Science, Product, and Engineering.
  • A portfolio that demonstrates your ability to lead service design from discovery through delivery, using tools like Miro, Figma, and Jira.
