Overview and Context

This opportunity sits within the Customer Experience Office of a major Australian bank, where the Strategic Design and Customer Journeys team operates as an enterprise-wide function.

The Role and What You Will Be Doing

This is a senior strategic and service designer contract role focused on Consumer priorities, working alongside a Principal Designer within a high performing enterprise practice.

• Strong end to end customer research capability including designing, facilitating, recording and synthesising
• Experience interviewing complex stakeholder groups within large organisations
• Ability to link qualitative insight to measurable outcomes such as NPS, efficiency, cost or revenue

• Comfortable engaging with senior stakeholders including General Manager level sponsors

Who This Role Would Be Great For

• A senior service designer from consulting who wants to influence enterprise level decisions (all the way up to CEO)
