  • Understand as-is service design and identify improvement opportunities.

  • Analyse pain points within services and build design solutions that fulfil user needs and business outcomes.

  • Use prototyping methods to communicate ideas and concepts with real users to encourage collaboration and iterative processes.

  • Lead the articulation of insights and stories around the strategy and concepts being designed.

  • Manage stakeholder needs across different areas with a focus on supporting discussions at senior departmental level.

  • Contribute to building an open and collaborative culture within the department and the design community.

  • Analyse and identify cost saving opportunities whilst implementing best practice service design.

  • Own and create high quality service design deliverables, including personas, experience maps, insights packs, user flow maps, and service blueprints.

  • Manage team workload and design approach across deliverables.

  • Actively provide support and mentor team members.

  • Support the capability and promote service design in and beyond the department.

  • Support recruitment for the DWP Digital Product design community.

  • Supporting effective team change delivery.

  • Collaborating across departmental boundaries to communicate service vision and gain stakeholder buy-in.

  • Creating, facilitating, and delivering appropriate service design approaches.

  • Mentoring multidisciplinary teams for user-centered product and service delivery.

  • Data Communication and Analysis:
