Your new role

Multiple Immediate requirements for Service Designers with business banking experience
The workWe're mapping a major UK bank's business banking experience end to end. The job is to produce service design blueprints for the key customer journeys, the ones that cut across channels and functions: digital, in-branch, telephony, customer servicing and the operations behind them.
This is cross-channel, front-stage and back-stage work. We need people who can sit with stakeholders across the business, pull a journey apart, and show how it actually works and where it breaks, from the customer's first action through to the back-office steps that fulfil it.
What you'll do

• Map key business banking journeys end to end, across digital, branch, telephony and customer servicing.
• Build service blueprints that connect the customer-facing experience to the backstage processes, systems and teams that deliver it.
• Run discovery and workshops with stakeholders across functions to understand how each journey really works.
• Identify hand-offs, gaps, duplication and points of failure between channels and teams.
• Produce clear artefacts that a senior banking stakeholder can read and act on.

Must have

• Demonstrable service design experience, with a portfolio of service blueprints and cross-channel journey maps that go beyond app and website UX.
• Banking or financial services experience. Business or commercial banking is a strong plus. Retail banking or broader financial services is acceptable.
• Confidence facilitating workshops and interviewing stakeholders across business functions and operations.
• Comfort with the backstage: process, systems, ownership and servicing.
• Mid-weight to senior. Able to lead a journey work stream with light direction.
• Domain: business banking experience preferred. Banking or financial services experience required.
• Please send portfolio links with each candidate. We specifically need to see service blueprints.

Nice to have

• Experience inside or alongside a large, regulated organisation with legacy systems and multiple channels.
• Experience bridging digital, physical (branch) and voice (telephony) experiences in one blueprint.
