  • Prioritise understanding the needs and behaviour of users and know how to use this insight to underpin and drive the work that we do
  • Communicate effectively to share the asis and the future vision of the service, working closely with service owners to help define the backlog, pulling together aspects such as user research, business design, data science, policy intent and key metrics
  • Analyse failure within a service and identify root causes for that failure
  • Negotiate policy and legislative change to support new services
  • Map/prototype endtoend services and understand how they fit into wider societal, service, system and organisational contexts
  • Identify and design new service patterns and standards that scale
  • Coach, mentor and train other designers, helping set and communicate good practice to improve quality and consistency across DfE's transformation programmes
  • Know how to design inclusive, accessible digital services that solve a whole problem for users
  • Understand the existing system of your service and work with teams to target improvements and cost reductions
  • Help people and teams overcome complexity, running and synthesising workshops to create clarity, alignment and direction
