Service Designer – New Energies
What’s this about?
The new innovation hubs at Shell set out to do things differently by taking a unique approach of balancing human-centred and digital design with an agile technology capability to tackle complex problems in original ways. With a huge variety of potential projects and digital products to build across the business you’ll be challenged to think and do differently, having the opportunity to get involved at all stages from discovery and design, to embedding and scaling.
With a distinct push towards new cleaner energies and sustainability through carbon management, a unique opportunity exists to be part of the change – taking a human approach to redesigning propositions for the New Energies business line.
Are you?
A designer who can be hands on as well as lead projects? A holistic thinker, looking at, but also beyond the product experience? Someone who researches empathetically and thoroughly to build the foundation from which to define and design? Someone who has an understanding of business but looks through a humancentred lens? A shaper who wants to define the services, ecosystems and propositions of the future? A champion of design that can show the value of service design to one of the world’s biggest companies? A force who strives to change the world’s energy use for the better?
Then this is for you.
What you’ll need in your toolkit
• A real breadth in your strategic design expertise – from research techniques to workshop facilitation to service design thinking and more importantly, doing
• The ability to be highly independent, confident and flexible to adapt to a fluid landscape
• The capacity to learn and adapt to new ways of working and thinking, communicating effectively
through storytelling and visuals yet also in a language that resonates with the business
• The aptitude to effectively manage and leverage stakeholders, illustrating the value that design can bring to the enterprise
What does a week in the life look like?
At a project level:

• Work with the wider organisation and cross functional project teams to clarify business problems
