1What this role really is

This role is all about helping our internal teams tackle tricky problems using a human-centred approach. You'll be right in the thick of it, supporting projects from the initial 'what's the real problem here?' stage right through to testing out new ideas. Think of yourself as a key organiser and insight gatherer, making sure our design thinking projects run smoothly and actually deliver value for our colleagues and, ultimately, our customers.

4How you'll be judged

The scoreboard, honestly: the hard targets, how often each one is actually looked at, and the quiet human signals that never make it onto a dashboard.

Workshop Logistics & Preparation Accuracy

Ensuring all materials and technical setups for workshops are ready and correct.

Target · 100% of materials prepared and tech checked 24 hours before sessions.

For last week's ideation workshop, all Miro boards were set up, participant guides were printed, and video conferencing links tested a full day in advance. No last-minute scrambles.

Qualitative Data Capture Accuracy

How accurately you transcribe, digitise, and organise insights from interviews and workshops.

Target · >95% accuracy in transcribing and digitising workshop outputs and interview notes.

After a series of 10 user interviews, 98% of key quotes and observations were correctly captured and categorised in our research repository, ready for synthesis.

Participant Engagement Score (Workshops)

Feedback from internal colleagues on the workshops you've helped run or co-facilitated.

Target · Achieve an average Net Promoter Score (NPS) of +50 or higher on workshops supported.

Our post-workshop survey showed an average NPS of +55, with comments highlighting how well the session was run and how clear the activities were, even for those new to design thinking.

Quality of Research Synthesis Contribution

How well you help turn raw data (interviews, observations) into clear, actionable insights for the project team.

Your contributions to affinity clustering sessions are insightful, identifying non-obvious patterns. You can articulate key themes clearly in project updates. Senior colleagues regularly use your summarised notes and observations in their presentations. You're able to connect individual data points to broader user needs and pain points.

Proactive Issue Identification & Problem-Solving

Spotting potential roadblocks or challenges in project logistics or research plans before they become big problems.

You flag a potential scheduling conflict for user interviews early, suggesting alternatives. You notice a workshop activity isn't quite landing with participants and suggest a quick pivot. You identify a gap in our research plan and propose a way to fill it. You don't just report problems
you come with ideas to fix them.

Stakeholder Collaboration & Communication

How effectively you work with internal clients and project teams, keeping them informed and engaged.

Internal clients give positive feedback on your responsiveness and clarity of communication. You're seen as a reliable point of contact for project updates. You proactively share relevant findings with team members without being prompted. You build good working relationships with project peers and internal client contacts.

Application of Design Thinking Principles

Consistently applying the core methodologies and mindset of human-centred design in your daily work.

You instinctively ask 'why' multiple times to get to the root of a problem. You champion the voice of the user in team discussions. You're always thinking about how to make ideas tangible through prototyping. You're comfortable with iteration and learning from 'failed' concepts, seeing them as opportunities to learn.

5Would you like it

The honest version. What people enjoy, and what grinds them down.

What people enjoy

Solving Real Problems for Real People

You get a buzz from understanding someone's daily frustrations at work and then being part of a team that designs a solution to make their life easier. It's about seeing the tangible impact of your work on colleagues.

You've just finished a round of interviews and realised how much time people waste on a specific manual process. You're excited to help prototype a better way, knowing it'll save hundreds of hours across the business.

Continuous Learning & Growth

You're always keen to pick up new methodologies, tools, or ways of thinking. You enjoy being challenged and learning from more experienced colleagues, constantly refining your craft.

After a workshop, you ask your Senior Facilitator for feedback on your note-taking technique or how you handled a tricky participant, always looking for ways to improve.

Collaborative Team Environment

You thrive when working closely with others, bouncing ideas around, and contributing to a shared goal. You enjoy the dynamic energy of workshops and cross-functional project teams.

You love the energy of a good brainstorming session, adding your ideas to the mix and helping others build on theirs, creating something bigger than any one person could do alone.

What frustrates people

Being seen as just a 'meeting organiser' or 'note-taker' rather than a strategic contributor.
Having to constantly defend the value of qualitative insights to stakeholders who only trust numbers.
The 'Innovation Theatre' – running workshops that generate great ideas, but then nothing actually happens.
Recruiting the *right* internal colleagues for user research can be a nightmare; often you're given whoever's 'available' rather than truly representative users.
Dealing with the 'Rubber-Band' Effect where teams revert to old habits shortly after a design thinking project wraps up.

What this role does not give you

Full strategic autonomy or decision-making authority on project direction (that comes at a more senior level).
A quiet, solitary work environment; you'll be interacting with people constantly.
A predictable, unchanging routine; every project brings new challenges and people.
A guarantee that every idea you help generate will be implemented; learning and iterating are part of the process.

6Who you work with

This role directly contributes to the effectiveness of our internal consulting engagements. By ensuring robust research, smooth workshop delivery, and clear synthesis, you'll help internal teams develop solutions that genuinely meet user needs, leading to improved employee satisfaction, operational efficiency, and ultimately, better service for our customers. Your work helps us avoid costly reworks and ensures our innovation efforts are focused on what truly matters.

Inside the business

Senior Design Thinking Facilitators and Leads
Project Managers across various internal departments (e.g., HR, IT, Marketing)

7What you need before you start

Not a wish list. The things you would be expected to already have.

Demonstrable experience (2+ years) in a project support, research assistant, or coordination role, ideally within a consulting or innovation-focused environment.
Some practical exposure to design thinking, human-centred design, or agile methodologies—perhaps through a university project, a previous role, or a short course.
A proven ability to organise information, manage multiple tasks, and communicate clearly, both in writing and verbally.
Experience working in a collaborative team setting, contributing actively and supporting colleagues.
A genuine curiosity about how things work and a desire to improve experiences for others.

The new skill this role is being asked for: Prompt Engineering & LLM Integration

Critical within 6 months—this isn't future-gazing, it's happening now. Competitors are already using tools like ChatGPT and Claude to draft research summaries, generate workshop ideas, and even create initial persona descriptions in minutes, tasks that used to take hours. Design Thinking Coordinators who figure this out will outproduce peers and free up time for deeper, more strategic work.

The ten Future Fluencies

Zavmo analysis

The credential is what you can do today. These are what keep you valuable.

A qualification proves you can do the job as it's defined today. These ten are what decide whether you're still the obvious person for it in five years. They're the capabilities employers are now writing into senior roles faster than people are learning them. Zavmo weaves them through whatever you study, so you come out with both: the credential and the fluency.

The highlighted ones are the Fluencies your role leans on hardest, from how Design Thinking Coordinator is actually changing. In about two minutes, the free confidence check asks where you stand on each of the ten. That's the whole check, and it's what makes the plan yours rather than generic.

12The team that's yours

No two people are taught the same way. This is one-to-one, not one-to-many.

Zavmo is a hyper-personalised AI learning platform. Twelve virtual tutors, each with a different way of teaching, and one orchestration agent that picks the right one for the moment. So every single lesson is shaped around you, your role, and the way you learn. Not a course everyone sits through. A conversation built for you, and no one else.

…and nine more, matched to you after your first chat. Meet all twelve

Start free and meet yours

13What it feels like

A conversation, not a course

Because your tutor knows your role, your projects and your last session, learning sounds like this. And it's different for every single person:

The user-centred design (UCD) processLevel 3

Applied to your work in Design Thinking Coordinator

The objective of this unit is to provide learners with a comprehensive understanding of the user-centred design (UCD) process. Learners will explore the phases of UCD, the roles involved, and how to formulate a problem statement, considering user needs and potential solutions.

A course is written once and handed to everyone. This is assembled around you, and keeps changing as it learns you. Five things it reads, and what each one changes.

What you already know The first conversation finds your starting point, so you skip what you can already do and spend the time on what you cannot.
The conditions you learn under Not a learning-styles quiz. The evidence does not support those. The dimensions the research does back, read once and used to shape the plan.
How far you got last time It picks up mid-thought. The tutor knows what you said, what you struggled with, and what it asked you to try.
Which tutor suits the moment Twelve of them, each for a different kind of thinking. The one who walks you through a first idea is not the one who stress-tests it.

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Let's be real, parts of design thinking can be a bit manual. But what if you could cut down on the tedious bits and spend more time on the truly creative and insightful work? That's where AI comes in. We're building an AI Productivity Hub specifically for our internal consulting team, and you'll be at the forefront of using these tools to supercharge your work.

Imagine having a digital assistant that helps you sort through hundreds of interview transcripts, drafts initial persona descriptions, or even summarises workshop outputs. That's not science fiction; it's what you'll be doing here. We're not replacing human creativity or empathy, but we are making the process faster and more effective, so you can focus on the 'human' part of human-centred design.

Automated Synthesis Starter

Use AI tools to transcribe hours of user interview audio or video in minutes. Then, feed those transcripts into an LLM (Large Language Model) to get a first pass at affinity clustering, generating draft themes and pulling out verbatim quotes. It's like having a super-fast assistant for your initial data crunching.

Qualitative Data Quantifier

Got thousands of open-ended survey responses or customer support tickets? AI can analyse these using sentiment analysis and topic modelling to quickly identify the most common pain points and their associated sentiment. This gives you quantitative weight for qualitative issues, helping you focus your deeper human research on the 'why'.

Persona & Journey Map Scaffolding

Feed market research reports, demographic data, and even some of your initial survey results into an AI model. It can then generate draft 'proto-personas' or a baseline 'As-Is' journey map. These AI-generated artefacts aren't final, but they give you a fantastic starting point—a hypothesis to validate and enrich with your real qualitative research.

Stakeholder Comms Assistant

Spend less time drafting those essential project updates. Provide bullet points from a workshop or research readout to an AI, and it can generate a clear, concise summary email, a one-page project update, or even a first draft of a presentation narrative. It frees you up to focus on the content and strategy, not just the words.

The honest bit

You’ve started things before

Most of them were built for a room full of people who aren’t you. A cohort moves on whether or not your week allowed it, and by the third week the thing you’re behind on becomes the reason you stop opening it.

There’s no cohort here, and no timetable to fall behind. Before anything starts, Zavmo asks when you’re sharpest and how long you can realistically sit down for, then builds the sessions around those answers. A bad fortnight changes your pace. It doesn’t put you behind.

And you only pay once you start learning. Searching and planning are free, and you can cancel any time — so the cost of finding out is an afternoon, not a year.

What it costs

Less than one coaching session. Every month.

A single career-coaching hour costs more than a month of this, and it ends when the hour does. Zavmo doesn't. It's £70 a month, about £2.30 a day, for a companion that knows a Design Thinking Coordinator, works on the job you actually do, and keeps going at your pace rather than a timetable's.

Searching and planning stay free. You only pay when you start learning.
Your credits are yours. Regulated, and they don't vanish when a subscription ends.
Cancel any time and billing stops. No notice period, no minimum term.

Your path, personalised

You have the map. Walking it is the part we do together.

This route runs to 7 national skill standards. That is a real journey.

Zavmo shapes a learning experience as unique as you are. It fits how you learn, your pace and the work you already do. Every step stays benchmarked to recognised national standards. That’s the plan for becoming a Design Thinking Coordinator: personal to you, and it still counts. The first steps are free.

Independent research finds well-designed intelligent tutoring performs nearly as well as one-to-one human tutoring: VanLehn (2011), Educational Psychologist.

A private tutor in the UK averages £35–40 an hour . Zavmo is £70/month.

15Where to go from here

Other roles at Level 3

Same depth of qualification, different job. Useful if the work appeals but this particular role does not.

Other roles in Internal Consulting

Stay in the field you know and move sideways rather than up.

If you leave this industry

The skills you'll gain here—deep empathy, structured problem-solving, facilitation, and a human-centred approach—are highly transferable. You could move into product management, dedicated UX/UI roles, change management, or even external consulting across various industries like tech, finance, or public sector.

Not sure this is the right direction?

Work out what you actually want from work first, then come back and see which roles fit it. Takes about ten minutes.
