Your Role and Responsibilities

Innovation Designers in IBM Client Engineering are thought leaders in human-centered design.

They apply collaborative design, lean user research, and UX best practices to bridge the

gap between human needs and cutting edge technology - transitioning our clients from

where they are now, to where they need to be tomorrow.

• Leads clients and colleagues through the innovation process.

• Designs & delivers effective & collaborative innovation sessions, facilitating workshops and client conversations.

• Advances the discipline of innovation design by creating new activities and workshop flows.

• Plans/conducts lean user research and identifies Use Case patterns.

and positive user experiences by creating collective understanding and generating buy-in

across stakeholders.

For this position, the design work is primarily concepts and processes - uncovering business value, defining a problem, shaping solutions, and proving them out. What you're creating will look less like a visual designer's portfolio and more like a user researcher's portfolio.
