Job Description

What you will be doing

Map the Invisible. Design the Unforgettable.

We’re on the hunt for a freelance

Senior Service Designer

who knows how to make complex services feel effortless — for users and for business. You’ll take the lead on translating messy systems, unclear journeys, and disjointed experiences into something smart, intentional, and beautiful.

Help Us Meet those Crucial Needs of the User.

We don’t need pretty slides. We need someone who can get in the weeds, connect the dots, and co-create with teams that actually ship.

Why This Role Hits Different:

Talk to real humans.

Run interviews, surveys, shadowing, and usability tests to uncover what users really need — and what’s not working.

Blueprint the full picture.

Map journeys, touchpoints, pain points, and backstage processes — then turn chaos into clarity.

Prototype like a pro.

Lead design thinking workshops to explore solutions, build low-fi mocks, and validate what clicks.

Align the room.

Facilitate stakeholder sessions, guide business teams, and build alignment across silos.

Set the vision.

Develop actionable service strategies and roadmaps that balance user love with business logic.

Follow through.

Support implementation with dev teams and iterate based on data and feedback.

Document everything.

Create clear, usable artifacts — from journeys to design specs — that keep teams aligned.
