Senior Innovation Experience Design

The Applied Innovation Exchange is seeking a talented individual who possesses infinite curiosity to work with our UK team in our innovation exchange in the heart of London.

You'll be part of a small team of makers, breakers, doers and disruptors who love to solve real problems and meet real customer needs.

Your primary role will be to work with our team, clients and partners to create new products, services and systems to drive meaningful change. As a user-centered design advocate, you will deliver value for our clients and have a strong portfolio and track record to demonstrate this. Not only do you understand the value of design, but you are also able to communicate this in engaging ways to clients and internal stakeholders.

Hybrid working: The places that you work from day to day will vary according to your role, your needs, and those of the business; it will be a blend of Company offices, client sites, and your home; noting that you will be unable to work at home 100% of the time.

If you are successfully offered this position, you will go through a series of pre-employment checks, including:
identity, nationality (single or dual) or immigration status, employment history going back 3 continuous years, and unspent criminal record check (known as Disclosure and Barring Service).

• Shape our team's design strategy and direction, a leader in how we deliver impact through design.
• Help guide our overall innovation strategy and that of the wider business through design leadership, prototyping, market research and experimentation.
• Lead the delivery of new products, services, capabilities and systems from a design standpoint at pace, from "problem to pilot."
• Work within multi-disciplinary teams to design, prototype and build cutting-edge solutions and future concepts.
• Communicate the value of business-led design to clients in ways that generate curiosity, a desire to apply innovation.
• Deliver quality design work, from performing research to high quality and well-refined UX/UI, using collaboration tools like Figma, and inspire the clients towards design standards and systems.
• Facilitate workshops, brainstorming sessions, experiments & design sprints with internal design team members or with clients to define design direction.

You can bring your whole self to work. At Capgemini, equity, diversity and inclusion is part of everyday life, and will be part of your working reality. We have built an inclusive and welcoming environment for everyone.

• 4+ years experience in a similar design-led innovation role.
• Excellent presentation skills with the ability to really engage with and understand stakeholders.
• Ideally some experience of taking a product to market by working closely with developers and client stakeholders at pace.
• Ideally an understanding of emerging technologies such as AI, IoT or Mixed Reality.
• Strong grasp of the design process from research and human-centered design.

To be successfully appointed to this role you will need to undergo Baseline Personnel Security Standard checks. There are no nationality or residency restrictions, although if you have resided outside of the UK within the last 3 years, further checks may be required.

There are other criteria and checks required for BPSS, and throughout the recruitment process, you will be asked questions about your security clearance eligibility such as, but not limited to, country of residence and nationality.
