Senior Service Designer

Kforce has a client in San Diego, CA that is seeking a Senior Service Designer.Summary:As a Senior Service Designer, you will own your tracks of this work end-to-end. That means deep subject matter expertise applied to real, gnarly problems: mapping how experts currently work across specific cohorts, translating compliance and operational requirements into service blueprints, and contributing high-quality design artifacts that make the migration path legible and buildable. You'll work independently on the work in your scope and collaborate as a genuine partner on the larger program - not a generalist who glances at every problem, but a designer who goes deep and delivers.Duties:

• Own service design for assigned Credit Karma expert cohorts and application tracks - producing high-quality service blueprints, current- and future-state journey maps, expert workflow diagrams, and use-case inventories that directly feed PRD requirements
• Map end-to-end expert and member experiences across pre- and post-product touchpoints, including the operational backstage that experts depend on - tools, escalation paths, identity verification, and compliance checkpoints
• Apply a platform mindset to your work: understand how the experiences you design connect to adjacent tracks and products, identify overlaps and dependencies, and design with reuse in mind
• Designs for AI edge cases and failure modes, including in compliance-sensitive contexts where a low-confidence output has real consequences for a member
• Proactively pivot when new information changes the picture - new compliance requirements, updated tool inventories, or expert feedback that reframes the problem
• Advocates for solutions with significant business impact; able to set success metrics for your craft and connect design decisions to measurable outcomes

• Bachelor's degree or equivalent professional experience; Graduate degree in Design, Service Design, Human-Computer Interaction, or a related field preferred
• 4-7 years of professional service design experience, with demonstrated ability to deliver high-quality service design artifacts - blueprints, journeys, use-case maps - in complex, real-world (not just conceptual) environments
• Comprehensive knowledge of service design principles and methods - service blueprinting, journey mapping, ecosystem mapping, process flows - applied at an advanced level in complex, multi-stakeholder environments
• End-to-end thinking that spans pre- and post-product experiences: you understand how a feature connects to the broader experience, and you can pivot based on voice-of-customer without losing the thread
• Customer and market insight fluency: synthesizes research from multiple teams, grounds all design work in specific customer problems, knows how to write a non-leading interview script, and can interpret metrics to make data-informed design decisions
• Advanced proficiency in Figma, FigJam, Miro, or equivalent tools
• Knowledge of AI capabilities to identify opportunities to improve expert or member experiences within your work scope - personalization, recommendation, automated decision support
• Understands where service design has the most impact for customers and the business, and can apply design and systems thinking to team goals with manager support on prioritization tradeoffs
