Building business models and operating models in collaboration with commercial and delivery teams
Working with the Innovation User Researcher to initiate workshops (e.g. co-design, ideation, service blueprinting) with internal teams, users, and partners
Clearly communicating and 'selling' products into the business, influencing peers in cross functional teams and senior stakeholders
Contributing to the development of innovation methods and playbooks focused on H2/H3 innovation, that deliver substantiable incremental revenue.
What are we looking for?
Proven experience in service design delivering tangible, commercial results, with the ability to work in ambiguous, exploratory environments and drive clarity

Experience designing and launching disruptive early-stage concepts, with large commercial ambitions
Comfortable facilitating co-creation and storytelling across levels of seniority
Strategic thinker with the ability to connect user needs with business opportunities
Familiarity with emerging trends and technologies, and how they can shape future services
Strong ability to generate, evaluate, and execute new ideas, using data and user insights
Experience with design thinking, agile methodologies, or lean innovation processes
Good stakeholder management skills, and the ability to navigate and influence across complex matrix-management structures
Strong project management skills, with the ability to manage multiple initiatives and prioritise time effectively
Resilient and committed team worker, who values others, can coach individuals, and proactively addresses challenges
Achievement and action orientated, driving continuous improvement, learning from mistakes, and encouraging perseverance.
Our organisation values are designed to guide all that we do.
Bold: Act with ambition, courage and determination
Credible: Act with rigour and professionalism
Human: Act to have a positive impact on people
