**Job summary**:
**_ Are you passionate about putting users first and making the complex simple? Join a team that makes a real difference to the public sector._**

Are you experienced in taking content design projects from inception to completion? Do you have a proven record of influencing stakeholders and leading them through the design process? If so, this role could be for you.

As a content designer, you’ll use your skills to make it easier for our users to find the information, product, or service they need. In doing so, you’ll help the public sector to purchase everything from locum doctors to electricity.

**Directorate Overview**

The Customer Experience Directorate (CXD) is responsible for ensuring that the voice of our customers is heard across Crown Commercial Service (CCS), thereby increasing spend through our agreements, and building and maintaining the reputation of the organisation. We help CCS customers find the right commercial solutions for their needs.

CXD is a customer-focused team that uses its unique perspective - uniting CCS with its customer organisations - to deliver value to both through four key capabilities:

- Source of detailed knowledge about customers and their commercial needs (that can be justified and validated - using this to shape and manage CCS strategy, solutions and services)
- Strong and established personal relationships (to support customers in efficient and effective engagement with CCS and represent their needs internally within CCS)
- Drive growth (convert leads and opportunities with key customers into increased take up of CCS solutions, and take a customer-led perspective on retention. Spearhead adoption of CCS solutions into new customers and markets)
- Broad commercial perspective (staff who can work cross category and a CXD function that has a unique view across CCS, and across a complex regional and sectoral matrix within the public sector procurement landscape)

An example of the breadth of scope for CXD was her late Majesty’s death where we managed both the external news and internal communications, as well as working directly with customers such as DCMS to enable them to provide blankets and sign language support to the queues of people paying their respects to Queen Elizabeth.

**Team Summary**

This could be refining a single piece of content or researching, planning and developing the end to end journey of a service.
