Who you are:

We are always looking for amazing talent who can contribute to our growth and deliver results! Geotab is seeking a Lead Service Designer who will own an end-to-end service strategy, lead design efforts from discovery through to execution, and coach other designers in their portfolio. The projects will vary in scope, complexity, and affected business area. If you love technology, and are keen to join an industry leader — we would love to hear from you! 

What you'll do:

As a Lead Service Designer your key area of responsibility will be owning an end-to-end service strategy, leading design efforts from discovery through to execution, and coaching other designers in their portfolio. You will facilitate service-level conversations with senior leadership to diagnose systemic issues, while also engaging with internal and external stakeholders to provide recommendations and insights. You will need to work closely with Design, Sales, Support, Engineering, Product Management, and Research.

To be successful in this role you will be a self-starter with excellent verbal and written communication skills and the flexibility to adapt to growing technology and market demands. In addition, the successful candidate will have strong analytical and strategic leadership skills, an ability to diagnose systemic barriers, and an ability to manage multiple tasks and projects simultaneously to ensure timely results.

How you'll make an impact:

  • Develop and communicate an end-to-end service strategy that aligns customer goals with business viability and operational realities. 
  • Diagnose systemic barriers to adoption by mapping the entire customer lifecycle using Service Blueprinting to visualize disconnects between journey stages, touch points, and service delivery teams and systems. 
  • Provide strategic leadership by defining the service frameworks that connect front-stage user experiences with the back-stage processes required to deliver them. 
  • Lead the user-centered design process, conducting research, user testing, and analysis to gain deep insights into complex user behaviors, preferences, and systemic pain points. 
  • Set and maintain high standards for execution, personally crafting high-fidelity designs and prototypes in Figma to validate strategic concepts. 
  • Ensure the seamless integration of service strategies throughout the product development lifecycle, working closely with Engineering to ensure the final build matches the service vision.
  • Act as the primary bridge between Design, Sales, Support, and Engineering to ensure cross-functional alignment on the holistic customer journey. 
  • Influence company-wide initiatives to minimize Customer Effort Score (CES) and shorten Time-to-Value (TTV) by predicting downstream user friction. 
  • Champion the evolution of Geotab’s design maturity by introducing systems thinking and service design methodologies to the broader team.
  • Take a leadership role in promoting accessibility principles to ensure service interactions are inclusive for all personas and meet accessibility standards and guidelines. 
  • Mentor, guide and support product designers, fostering their professional growth and enabling them to excel in their roles. 

What you'll bring to the role:

  • 10+ years of relevant industry experience, with a focus on Service or Systems Design. 
  • Relevant Bachelor’s Diploma/Degree or relevant industry experience. Degree specialization in Business Design, Systems Engineering, Interaction Design, Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Computer Science, or any other related field. 
  • Deep knowledge of Service Design methodologies (Journey Mapping, Service Blueprinting, Ecosystem Mapping) and Systems Thinking. 
  • Experience collaborating closely with product management, engineering, and research to solve complex operational problems. 
  • Proficiency in collaboration tools like Figjam for facilitation, and UI design tools like Figma. 
  • Ability to lead all aspects of the user-centered design process from conception to completion, leaning more towards research and facilitation. 
  • Ability to facilitate high-level strategy workshops to diagnose root causes and align stakeholders on shared outcomes. 
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills and strong interpersonal relationship building skills. 
  • Highly organized and able to manage multiple tasks and projects simultaneously.
If you got this far, we hope you're feeling excited about this role! Even if you don't feel you meet every single requirement, we still encourage you to apply.

Geotab’s Voluntary Self-Identification Survey

Geotab is committed to fair and equitable treatment for all, and fostering a culture that embraces diversity and inclusion throughout the hiring process and beyond. At Geotab, our unique company culture is built upon the value of “always do the right thing” which is embraced by employees around the world. As a global organization, we continuously seek ways in which we can support both our staff and our communities through programs and partnerships focused on empowering diversity and prioritizing inclusion. 

We invite you to complete this optional survey to help us evaluate our diversity and inclusion efforts. Submission of the information on this form is strictly voluntary. Opting not to participate will not impact your job application in any way. Information obtained will not be associated with your name or job application in any identifiable manner. This information will be kept secure and confidential and will be used solely to evaluate our diversity and inclusion efforts. The information collected in this survey is only available to HR staff and Geotab data scientists to view in aggregated data format and not on an individual basis. Your answer will be maintained confidential and not be seen by selecting officials or anyone else involved in making hiring decisions.

Note to USA Applicants: This is a separate survey from the EEO-1 Voluntary Self Identification Form used in the United States for compliance purposes. We feel that the options found in the mandated survey do not encompass the rich diversity of our applicants, and as such strive to provide additional responses that reflect the landscape more accurately.
