About the job you’re considering

At Capgemini, we partner with clients to build the future of their services, organisations, and customer experiences. As a Lead Service Designer in our Experience Design team, you will shape end to end, future state services that are human centred, data informed, and AI ready. You will work across complex ecosystems — spanning business, policy, people, and technology — transforming ambiguity into clarity and direction.

As a Lead, you will guide multidisciplinary teams, influence and guide senior stakeholders, and bring together strategy, research, prototyping, and delivery to define and launch services and transformation at scale. You will join our growing Digital Customer Experience (DCX) practice and play a key role in advancing our design approach, developing our culture, and maturing design capability across the organisation.

This role blends strategic leadership with hands on craft. You will shape delivery, set standards, mentor designers, and help clients navigate some of their boldest transformation challenges.

In this role you will go beyond design and work with accounts to shape client engagements and position design as a powerful business lever. You’ll report to the Head of Experience Design and work as their close partner in driving the practice forward.

Your role

As a Lead, you'll either own the project lead role or act as lead practitioner, depending on the size and complexity of the engagement. You'll have input into — or ownership of — project planning and set-up, ensuring you and the team can do your best work.

You'll still be hands-on but balanced with leading others. Senior client stakeholders and project teams will see you as a trusted expert. You'll build strong relationships with these groups, listen to their needs, and manage expectations with honesty. You'll work with the Head of Experience Design and senior leadership to identify opportunities to extend current engagements or open new ones.

Delivery Leadership

In this role, you will:

Lead complex service and product design engagements end to end and define service strategies and future state architectures
Lead multidisciplinary teams to prototype, test, and launch new services and design and run research and insight programmes
Facilitate design sprints, experiments, and co-creation activities and create detailed service blueprints, journeys, and propositions that can scale
Understand organisational, technical, and policy constraints and turn them into opportunity
Guide clients through complex decisions and influence long-term change

Capability and Practice Development
You will also:

Co-lead the evolution of Experience Design methodology, tools, and quality standards across the practice
Mentor and develop service designers across grades, supporting performance management and career progression
Shape and contribute to the Experience Design Partnership model and its cross-organisational delivery approach
Support GDS Centre of Excellence activities including assessment preparation, training, and compliance
Contribute to hiring, onboarding, and team development as the practice continues to grow and support business development by contributing to proposals, scoping, and client shaping activities

This is a highly impactful role where you can help lead some of the bravest digital and organisational transformations in the UK.

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

Your skills and experience

You are a confident, strategic design practitioner with experience leading complex programmes and multidisciplinary teams. You bring a strong blend of business acumen, systems thinking, human centred design craft, client leadership, and delivery discipline.

Essential-

Experience leading service design through full lifecycle including piloting and live operation, not just strategy or discovery phases and a track record of influencing senior stakeholders in complex, multi-stakeholder, or regulated environments
Evidence of building design capability — whether establishing standards, mentoring designers, standing up new practices, or shaping assessment frameworks and strong facilitation skills: you can design and run workshops, design sprints, and co-creation sessions with confidence
Fluency in service design methods: blueprinting, journey mapping, systems mapping, proposition development and experience managing and leading multidisciplinary teams, with strong feedback and performance development instincts
Comfort operating in the gap between design and delivery, particularly in agile or hybrid environments and the ability to manage upwards, initiate difficult conversations, and challenge constructively at all levels

Highly Desirable-

Experience working across multiple sectors — public sector, financial services, energy, healthcare, or commercial — with the ability to adapt to different governance and delivery contexts
Experience with GDS Service Standard and assessment processes, or equivalent quality and compliance frameworks in regulated industries
Understanding of accessibility requirements and regulatory constraints relevant to service design
Experience with developer experience research, quantitative survey design, or operational service measurement
Familiarity and commitment to developing the skills needed to design services that make use of AI — working with technology and architecture teams to bring AI‑enabled services, experiences and ideas to life.

Your Background
Our design team is an incredibly talented group of hybrids — and that’s something we embrace. The team includes people with backgrounds in design, complex digital transformation, organisational change and design, strategy, and business analysis. We know unicorns don’t exist, but we value practitioners who span multiple areas of service design with depth in at least one. Whether your background is in service design, product strategy, organisational design, UX, product, or CX transformation — what matters is your ability to lead, think systemically, and deliver.
