  • Participate in design sprints, workshops, CX demos, and CX trainings.
  • Conduct rapid prototyping and testing of design concepts together with customers and colleagues.
  • Collaborate with federal practice engineers and federal clients to define, design, and implement innovative, intuitive solutions for use by our federal customer and their stakeholders.
  • Validate new designs through usability testing, collecting and incorporating user feedback throughout the product development process.
  • Collaborate in the creation of customer experience success stories, case studies, demonstrations, and trainings.
  • Craft scalable CX resources and templates (e.g., playbooks, frameworks, etc.) that will guide the growth and evolution of a customer-centric mindset within the federal government.
  • Gather operational and transactional (telemetry) data to improve understanding of customer behaviors
  • In partnership with other design professionals and aligning to federal government best practices, use common drivers of satisfaction (measures of ease, speed, quality, etc.) to identify cross-program opportunities for improving experiences.
