Connect to your opportunity
Service designers at Deloitte Digital are strategic thinkers with a keen appreciation for the power of human centred design. We play a critical role in reshaping our client’s businesses, by critically investigating all aspects of a challenge, reimagining the user experience for multiple user groups, and developing blueprints that articulate how these experiences will be delivered and fulfilled by the entire organisation - people, process and technology.
As a Senior Service Designer, you will be responsible for understanding the holistic service experience we are trying to create and working out how to bring each individual element of an organisation together in order to make it real. This will involve balancing the potentially competing demands of user experience and operational efficiency; strategic vision and commercial reality. During both design and delivery, you will also work with specialists from across our design practice - Strategists, Researchers, UX Designers, Visual Designers and more.

- Qualitative and quantitative user research
- Gathering and analysing relevant operational data
- Developing archetypes, journey maps and service blueprints
- Running codesign sessions with users to develop solution
- Creating low fidelity prototypes to test service concepts for a variety of digital and non-digital touchpoints, and gathering feedback
- Thinking strategically, to assess how service concepts meet strategic / commercial / policy goals, and fit within relevant constraints
- Considering accessibility and ethical factors throughout research and design
- Advocating for design-led service transformation, and the design process
- Actively building professional relationships with colleagues and clients to increase your network and broaden your knowledge base within design
- Supporting the Service Design team, and the wider XD Studio, in the creation of client-ready presentations and proposals to secure new work
- Actively contributing to the wider XD studio, by participating and leading community events and activities outside of project work
- Contributing to the development of our XD Studio’s design methods and tools
