You will collaborate closely with researchers to leverage insights.

Design & Implement Behavioural Interventions

• Design and implement targeted behavioural interventions, such as nudges, defaults, feedback loops, and social norms, directly within the platform experience and associated communication strategies, enhancing both Employee Experience and Client Experience.
• Collaborate with Service Designers to seamlessly integrate behavioural insights into employee journey maps and service blueprints, optimising the overall platform experience.
• Work closely with Instructional Designers to apply behavioural principles that significantly improve engagement and retention in learning programs, ensuring platform fluency and upskilling, particularly for AI ways of working.

Measure & Optimise Impact

• Collaborate closely with dedicated researchers to leverage insights from behavioural research, including experiments to rigorously measure the effectiveness of behavioural interventions on platform usage and the adoption of new ways of working.
• Analyse complex data and present clear, actionable findings and recommendations to cross‑functional teams, demonstrating the tangible impact of behavioural design.
• Contribute to the development of ethical guidelines for behavioural interventions within the organisation, ensuring responsible and transparent practices.
• Support the monitoring of individual and team progress toward behavioural and capability improvements.

• Proven experience with experimental design and statistical analysis in a real‑world application.
• Strong foundational knowledge of behavioural economics, psychology, human‑computer interaction, or a related field.
• Ability to translate complex behavioural theories into actionable design solutions that address real‑world organisational challenges and drive measurable change, specifically in the context of AI ways of working, Agentic E2E vision, Employee Experience, and Client Team Experience.
