Introduction
IBM Client Engineering Designers take a human-centered perspective in value engineering. They understand the human needs behind a client’s challenge through lean user research and participative activities (Enterprise Design Thinking) in client conversations. Designers can uncover additional client needs to be addressed with IBM Technologies, leading to cross-and up-sell opportunities. Designers are responsible for translating client needs into desirable experiences that connect business, technology, and user goals. We increase client satisfaction with meaningful outcomes and drive adoption by bringing real value to real people.
If you come from outside tech; think you look a bit different to us; have a non-degree education, and wonder if your application would be welcome, please know that it very much is. We would love to get to know you a bit better, so apply. This might be a perfect match.
Excellent onboarding training will set you up for success, whilst ongoing development will continue to advance your career through its upward trajectory.
