Qualifications:
Demonstrated depth in service design, experience strategy, and/or journey mapping Ability to manage stakeholders, facilitate workshops, and educate others regarding the value and purpose of service design methods Proven ability to establish repeatable processes, not just deliver one-off artifacts Strong systems thinking, with the ability to connect experience to operational and technical ecosystems Production fluency: comfort producing scalable, shareable artifacts, including with code-based or component-driven methods Fluent in FigJam, Figma, Claude Design, or similar, and willing to work beyond them Familiarity creating custom skills with agentic AI tools such as Claude and ChatGPT Comfort in complex, regulated environments; financial services experience a plus
