The Role Are you an experienced Experience Designer who wants to shape the future of digital experiences and services and make a significant impact on the world’s critical systems? Then you’ll love working at Kyndryl Vital. At Kyndryl Vital, we are looking for creative, curious, empathic systems thinkers who want to tackle both experience‑ and service‑design challenges across with some of the best technical colleagues in the world. Kyndryl Vital is a global network of designers, engineers, writers, researchers, and strategists. We are bound together by a desire to help our customers make sense of complexity and co‑create intelligent and adaptive experience and service ecosystems that resonate with their users and transform their businesses. We are fortunate to work with the world’s best IT experts to ensure that we can not only imagine a great experience, but that we can build it, deliver it, optimize it, and sustain it. The Role An Experience Designer crafts immersive and engaging experiences that connect people with events and interactions across channels, systems, and operational touchpoints, focusing on how these experiences feel and unfold over time. This role involves understanding the needs and emotions of users and participants through research and testing, and collaborating with various stakeholders to bring these experiences to life in service‑level artifacts such as service blueprints, journey maps, and cross‑channel interaction flows. By considering the emotional, social, and sensory aspects of an experience, Experience Designers aim to create memorable and impactful moments that leave lasting impressions. As an Experience Designer at Kyndryl Vital, you will take ownership of design workstreams, creating detailed design documentation and prototypes based on customer needs. You will work with clients to define design requirements and deliver user‑centric design solutions, ensuring alignment with business goals. These might include mapping current‑state and future‑state services, defining end‑to‑end journeys, and visualizing interactions across systems. You will present and advocate for design decisions with stakeholders, both internal and external. Additionally, you will assist with integrating design thinking into larger project frameworks, collaborating with engineering and other teams to ensure a cohesive service and experience ecosystem. Utilizing feedback from stakeholders, you will iterate and refine both experience‑level design solutions, ensuring high quality and usability. You will proficiently use AI‑powered tools to drive research, prototyping, and design iteration, establishing best practices for visualizing and prototyping human/AI interactions within both product and service contexts and determining the optimal UI for agentic features.
