  • Work with design leadership to evolve service design methods, improve design operations, and drive adoption of AI-enhanced tools to improve service quality and efficiency.
  • Define end-to-end strategies, experience principles, frameworks, customer journeys and CX KPIs that connect digital, assisted, and real-world touchpoints with clarity and consistency.

  • Advanced use of journey maps, empathy maps, and insight repositories to embed customer needs throughout delivery
  • Mastery in accessibility, user research methods to understand customer problems and behaviours, and analytics tools (Usertesting, Adobe Analytics) to understand and improve journeys.
  • Strong storytelling, stakeholder influence, and resilience in fast-paced, evolving environments.
