Service Design Lead – Central London agency – 60-70k – Permanent – J435

Tuesday, June 8th, 2010

Hello everyone,

I have a new perm role to brief you on, quite an unusual and interesting one; Service Design Lead – £60-70k

It is for one of our well known Central London agency partners, and is a new role for them (created out of need, rather than an incumbent moving on.) This role requires a blend of skills, drawing on both design delivery (either visual design or interaction design) and project management. It is, by it’s very nature, a role involving extensive internal and external liaison. The top level overview of this roles context is to be directly responsible for the project management, quality innovation and commercial health of all projects being overseen. Projects for this person will encompass external client delivery pieces, pitches and internal development projects. This is NOT experience design, but is focussed around service for digital products, predominantly on a mobile platform.

You will be responsible for:

- Service concepts and ideas incorporating all touch points of the service

- Break down client and user requirements into digestible chunks for the design teams

- User centred design solutions across a broad range of projects

- Managing client relationships; including initial engagement and scoping, status reports, and business development

- Acting as project lead, both internally and externally, including team utilisation and task delegation

As you can see, this role requires a blend of skillsets, but the weighting is very much in favour of a strong design lead with some project management exposure, as opposed to the other way around.

The job is based in Central London, £60-£70k , Permanant

If this sounds interesting, please do drop me a line and I can send you the spec and give you the context. ben@wearefutureheads.com
