Are you an experienced Service Designer who wants to make a lasting impact on a national scale by improving service delivery outcomes and championing human-centred design?

I am currently partnering with a prominent Federal Government client in the disability sector with this exciting and critical leadership role within the service design and continuous improvement space, driving user-centred outcomes for participants, families, carers, and frontline delivery teams.

About the Opportunity

In this pivotal role, you will lead and deliver complex service design and business improvement work under broad direction. You will be responsible for understanding participant and staff experiences, mapping end-to-end service journeys, and shaping evidence-based recommendations that translate strategy into practical, high-quality service outcomes. Working within a collaborative, multidisciplinary environment, you will play a pivotal role in facilitating co-design, engaging diverse stakeholders, and establishing future-state service processes.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Leading current-state and future-state process mapping, identifying pain points, and developing evidence-based recommendations to optimise service delivery.
  • Analysing qualitative and quantitative data to identify trends, risks, and improvement opportunities (including process analysis, performance assessments, and business improvement reviews).
  • Designing and facilitating user engagement and co-design activities, including design-thinking workshops, user interviews, testing sessions, and stakeholder consultations.
  • Translating research and user feedback into journey maps, service blueprints, and actionable concepts aligned with user needs and the Digital Service Standard.
  • Collaborating with multidisciplinary project teams, including UI/UX designers, business analysts, operational delivery teams, and senior executives.
  • Managing competing priorities, resolving issues and risks, and maintaining design backlogs to support continuous improvement across the agency.

Ideally you will possess:

  • Demonstrated Service Design Experience: Proven background leading service design, process improvement, and process mapping in large, complex organisations.
  • Data & Business Analysis: Strong ability to synthesise qualitative insights with quantitative data to identify operational trends, bottlenecks, and improvement opportunities.
  • Co-Design & Facilitation: Hands-on experience planning and running co-design workshops, user testing programs, and interviews with diverse end users.
  • Stakeholder Management: Exceptional communication and influencing skills with the ability to build trusted partnerships across technical, operational, and executive teams.
  • Methodologies & Tools: Familiarity with human-centred design (HCD), Lean, service blueprinting, and contemporary collaboration tools (e.g., Miro, FigJam, Visio, Lucidchart, Figma).
  • Sector Experience (Desirable): Prior experience in government, human services, health, disability, or other highly regulated environments focusing on participant- or customer-centred service models.
