Responsibilities

  • Lead and evolve a high‑performing UX, User Research and Service Design practice, setting standards, defining end‑to‑end service design principles, coaching senior practitioners, and managing capability development and future skills planning.
  • Act as a senior client advisor and escalation point for UX and digital experience work, ensuring insight‑led, outcome‑focused delivery across discovery, research, strategy and design.
  • Play a key role in presales and early‑stage shaping of opportunities, defining value propositions, delivery models, scope, estimates, and risks, and protecting margins through delivery success.
  • Collaborate with Technology, Data and Strategy colleagues to design integrated services spanning systems, processes and user experiences, ensuring alignment between customer journeys and operational delivery.
  • Contribute to internal and external thought leadership, develop repeatable frameworks, and help shape propositions that strengthen market differentiation and client impact.
  • Act as a key contributor to large complex transformation opportunities, reframing client asks into clear, outcome‑led programmes and qualifying opportunities to ensure they are winnable, deliverable and margin‑protective.

Minimum skills and experience

  • Senior leadership experience in UX, User Research, Service Design or Digital Experience within a consultancy or complex organisation.
  • Experience leading or delivering service design and end‑to‑end journey design, including service blueprinting or cross‑channel experience definition.
  • Proven experience leading multidisciplinary teams and managing senior practitioners.
  • Strong hands‑on background and advocacy in user‑centred design, accessibility and research methodologies.
  • Experience overseeing complex client delivery with accountability for quality and outcomes.
  • Demonstrable commercial experience, including scoping, estimation, utilisation, risk management and margin awareness.
  • Experience supporting or leading presales, written public‑sector bids and senior client pitches.
  • Strong stakeholder management skills with senior client leaders.
  • Experience working across strategy, delivery and sales functions.
  • Excellent communication, facilitation and decision‑making skills.

Preferred skills and experience

  • Exposure to regulated, enterprise or public‑sector environments.
  • Background working in multidisciplinary environments.
  • Experience shaping service‑design propositions or operating‑model transformation.
  • Experience integrating qualitative insight with data, analytics or technology platforms.
  • Thought leadership experience (frameworks, POVs, speaking, publishing).
  • Knowledge of accessibility, inclusive design and ethical research practices.
  • Familiarity with emerging trends including AI‑assisted design and research.
