At EY Studio+ UK, we are building a better working world, by putting the human first.

We work with organisations to create the platforms, products and services for tomorrow; making the world an easier, more enjoyable and sustainable place to live and work.\nWe don’t yet have all the answers, because that’d be boring. We do have some of the best minds in the business and we are comfortable navigating complexity every day.\nWe’re privileged to have access to senior critical thinkers in our clients and we have conversations that excite us and challenge us all the time. We’re becoming an increasingly bigger part of an established global business, which throws up challenges and opportunities every day.

We don’t create outputs for the sake of it. We don’t create work that sits in drawers, never to be revisited. We create work that is driven to implementation.\nThe work we do is varied. We work across sectors (from government, healthcare, financial services and fast moving consumer goods) to tackle a huge variety of problems in a huge variety of ways. One week you could be interviewing customers in their homes to understand how they make sense of their money, the next month you could be leading a workshop in Whitehall to articulate how a government department can embed innovation in their organisation.\nWe take our practitioners seriously and you will be given the freedom and support to develop your craft, your thinking, your work and your career in a way that suits you and delivers for the practice and your clients.\nResponsibilities, Qualifications, Certifications\nThe role\nWe are looking for a Service Design Senior Manager to join the Service Design Practice at EY Studio+ UK.\nThis role is open to those with demonstrable experience of working as a Service Design Senior Manager within industry.
