Canberra, Australia ThinkPlace Full time

**Are you ThinkPlace's next Executive Designer?**

**If this job advert caught your attention, **we think ThinkPlace would too**

We work at the crossroad of social change and design. We engage with the complexity and the messiness of real human experiences — how people live, work and play; how people experience products, services or regulations; how they navigate systems they interact with. We tackle some of the world's most complex challenges using design-led, human-centred approaches.

As we step into an exciting future, we are looking for multiple Executive Designers with a focus on Behavioural Design, Strategy Design and/or Service Design to join our team. If the requirements below haven't ticked all your boxes, please don't rule yourself out just yet. We want to see your whole self, not just what you are on paper. Diversity for us is beyond a manifesto, we celebrate it.

**About ThinkPlace**:
ThinkPlace Australia is a leading strategy, design and innovation consultancy working across Australia to design a future that works for all. We design sustainable futures with governments, organisations and communities.

Recognised as one of Australia's top 20 most innovative companies by the Australian Financial Review, we are dedicated to shifting the needle on the UN Sustainable Development Goals and creating public value through design, striving towards vibrant communities, strong economies, sustainable environments, and trusted institutions.

**To achieve our goals, we need amazing people like you on our team.**

**About the role**

Working in our Canberra studio, you will inspire and lead project teams and clients successfully though a variety of design-led projects. You will be part of a collaborative, dynamic and creative team of people who are passionate and committed to transforming the public experience within multiple sectors. Your role will be varied and challenging, with the primary role of winning, leading and delivering projects with a focus on Behavioural Design, Strategy Design and/or Service Design.

In this role, you will form part of the design team in the Canberra studio. Working with the team you will be responsible for:

- Leading and managing small to medium projects with the Canberra and wider team, and delivering excellent outcomes for our clients
- Proactively building networks and strong client relationships
- Winning high impact work in-line with Canberra's business development strategy
- Playing a proactive role in the team's growth and personal development

**What you will bring**
- Values and culture: First and foremost, a positive attitude that aligns with ThinkPlace values and culture
- Project leadership and delivery: Proven ability to lead small to medium sized projects, inspire confidence in clients, create a sense of vision and direction for teams
- Speciality experience: A strong background in Behavioural Design, Strategy Design and/or Service Design, with experience in Design Thinking and Human-Centered Design
- Business development: Proven ability to generate and convert leads into high impact, profitable project work
- People leadership: Ability to build cohesion within the project teams you lead. You can mobilise people and get the very best out of them, giving them autonomy and space to be imaginative and innovative, and give them focused direction when they need it.

Provide the following things:

- a one-page covering letter, telling us a bit about yourself. We want to understand your skillset, what you're like to work with, what you like working on, and your design philosophy - all in a single page of writing
- a resume with the contact details of two recent (and relevant) referees, including a current one

**How to apply**:
Your file should be PDF'd, and be no more than 10MB in size
