- Connecting customer-facing experiences with internal systems, processes, and operational structures to identify gaps and opportunities
- Designing experiments, prototypes, and pilots to validate end-to-end service concepts beyond individual touchpoints
- Facilitating workshops and problem-framing sessions to help teams navigate ambiguity and define clear priorities
- Translating complex insights into actionable narratives, recommendations, and strategic roadmaps for stakeholders and executives
- Collaborating cross-functionally with strategy, product, design, engineering, and operations teams to ensure successful execution and alignment
- Contributing to continuous improvement of service design practices, frameworks, and delivery methodologies
- Supporting business development efforts through opportunity framing and expert input on service design approaches
Requirements:
The ideal candidate brings deep expertise in service design, innovation, and systems thinking, with a strong track record of delivering complex, cross-functional initiatives, including:

- Demonstrated ability to conduct and synthesize user and stakeholder research into actionable insights and strategic direction
- Advanced facilitation and workshop design skills, with experience aligning diverse stakeholders in ambiguous environments

- Proficiency with design and collaboration tools such as Figma, FigJam, and Miro, and familiarity with modern digital product ecosystems
Benefits:
- Competitive salary aligned with experience and market standards

Jobgether is a career navigation platform built for senior professionals competing in the remote job market. Hiring systems were designed for volume and keyword matching, not for 15 or 20 years of nonlinear experience. That structural mismatch is why strong profiles get filtered out before a human ever sees them.
Our platform diagnoses where a search is breaking, corrects how experience is positioned, and connects professionals to the companies where their background creates real value. The goal is not more applications. It is the right visibility in the right places.
Our mission is to ensure no senior professional remains invisible in the global remote market, not because they lack the skills, but because the system failed to read them correctly.
