Job Summary

The Lead Service Designer works to provide structure and clarity across a complex, multi-variable program environment.

This role creates the frameworks, maps, and shared understanding that allow diverse partners to move together effectively.

Partner with program leadership, product teams, operational stakeholders, and policy partners to define future-state service visions and translate them into actionable plans and priorities.
Identify risks, dependencies, gaps, and competing priorities across product, operational, policy, and organizational workstreams, and communicate recommendations that support informed decision-making.
Synthesize research, operational insights, stakeholder input, and service performance data into clear frameworks and recommendations that guide program strategy and service improvements.
Ensure product delivery, operational processes, policy changes, and organizational readiness remain aligned to achieve intended customer, business, and program outcomes.
Develop models, documentation, and planning artifacts that improve program clarity, support prioritization, and enable teams to navigate complex, evolving service environments.
Provide subject matter expertise through design critiques, mentorship, and collaboration, contributing to service design practices and continuous improvement across the organization.
Protect data security, privacy, accessibility, and regulatory compliance by following MBTA policies, standards, and industry best practices throughout research, design, documentation, and service delivery.
Perform all other duties and projects that may be assigned.
