Zaptec is looking for a Service Designer!

We are looking for a Service Designer to join our Product Strategy team and play a central role in developing innovative strategies and transforming them into actionable design solutions ⚡

As part of our ambitious and growing Product Strategy team, you'll contribute directly to the green shift, tackling cutting-edge challenges in mobility, green technology, smart energy, and smart city solutions. Together, we’re working toward making charging effortless for all our customers. We share the passion for customer insight, brand building, and a creative growth mindset, all while advancing green-tech charging solutions that make a real difference for the planet 🙌🏽

You will be working across the Zaptec universe to define services, experiences and strategies, and support their implementation in collaboration with our domain-focused Agile teams.

While no two days will be the same, these are some of the things that you'll be doing:

• Collaborating with versatile stakeholders to understand business goals, user needs, and market trends.
• Conducting thorough research, including user interviews, stakeholder consultations, and competitive analysis, to identify insights and opportunities for service improvement.
• Defining product and service solutions and creating supporting assets like user journeys, service blueprints, and prototypes, used to illustrate and communicate the experience.
• Working closely with Product designers, Product managers, and developers to ensure implementation of your design solutions.
• Conducting usability testing and gathering user feedback to inform iterative design improvements.
• Facilitating workshops to generate ideas, foster collaboration, and drive innovation.
• Staying up to date with industry best practices, emerging technologies, and design trends relevant to service and strategic design.

As a skilled and versatile Service Designer with a strategic mindset, you have what it takes to help us scale our operations and enter new markets—all while keeping user needs front and center. Beyond this, we see you as a key contributor to strengthening our work processes and building bridges across departments, positioning yourself right where the action is.

In this role, you’ll have the opportunity to challenge the status quo, propose innovative ideas, and implement creative solutions at a strategic level—all aimed at enhancing the Zaptec experience and driving our mission forward.
