Business design & value:

Translate business strategy into service propositions, value streams, KPIs, and guardrails; tie designs to measurable outcomes (adoption, cost to serve, conversion, NPS/CES).

Enterprise product integration:

Define how services intersect with enterprise level digital products (platform architecture, content and data flows, process and role design), ensuring scale across brands/markets.

Governance & handover:

Produce service design packages (blueprints, RACI, SLAs/OLAs, success metrics), and partner across transition to delivery and operations.



What you'll bring (Must haves)

~5 years in Service Design across enterprise programs (multi team, multi market), with a portfolio of service blueprints, journeys, and measurable outcomes.

Fluency in design thinking, systems thinking, journey mapping, blueprinting, and storytelling; confident facilitating C level to squad level sessions.

Proven ability to connect business strategy to service operations (e.g., process, role, policy, SLA) for digital products at scale.

Comfortable in Agile environments, shaping epics/stories, acceptance criteria, and aligning with release trains and product councils.

Tooling:

Figma/Mural (or equivalent) for mapping/blueprinting; comfort with analytics dashboards and experimentation frameworks.

A portfolio (3-4 examples) showing service blueprints and the business impact (metrics or outcomes), plus one example of partnering with a Product Design Lead and Customer Advisory Lead to reshape a service or operating model.
