Job summary
Across government, service design plays a critical role in ensuring that digital services are user-centred, accessible and effective. As organisations adopt enterprise platforms such as Salesforce, there is an increasing need to design end-to-end services that are not only technically robust but also intuitive, inclusive and aligned with user needs.

This is a senior role requiring strong experience in service design, user-centred design approaches and the ability to influence across complex delivery environments.
