• Translate research and data into actionable insights that inform product and service direction
• Create service design artefacts such as journey maps and service blueprints
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams across the business
• Ensure solutions are desirable for users, viable for the business, and feasible for delivery
• Conduct UX research to understand user needs and industry benchmarks

What You’ll Bring

• 5+ years’ experience as a Service Designer
• Strong background in e‑commerce, ideally fashion or retail
• Proven experience in service mapping, research, delivery, and measuring impact
• Ability to confidently engage stakeholders, lead workshops, and influence decisions
• Experience applying a broad range of service design and UX research methods
