About The Role
The Product Experience Design team helps shape and accelerate the future of BT’s innovation portfolio. Working across emerging opportunities in areas such as Physical AI, Connected Solutions, Defence, Healthcare, Transport, and Digital Services, we help teams move from uncertainty to evidence-based decision making.
As a Product Experience Design Specialist, you will play a key role in transforming customer insight, business objectives, and emerging technologies into meaningful product and service experiences. Working closely with Product Managers, User Researchers, Engineers, and Commercial stakeholders, you will shape future solutions, create compelling concepts, and help teams make confident decisions about what to build next.
You will operate primarily across the discovery, definition, and early delivery stages of product development, helping teams understand customer needs, explore potential solutions, and develop concepts that can be tested, refined, and brought to market.
This is not a traditional UI-focused design role. We are looking for someone who is equally comfortable facilitating workshops, shaping propositions, mapping journeys, developing concepts, and creating prototypes that support learning and decision making.
What makes this role different:
- Shape future products and services across BT's innovation portfolio.
- Work on complex, ambiguous opportunities where the problem and solution may still be emerging.
- Influence product direction through design thinking, customer-centred methods, and facilitation.
- Help teams move from insight and opportunity towards tangible concepts and validated propositions.
- Work across diverse domains including AI, connectivity, drones, digital platforms, and future services.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Shape Future Product and Service Concepts - Work with Product Managers, Researchers, and stakeholders to explore opportunities, generate concepts, and define future-state experiences that address customer and business needs.
- Transform Insight into Actionable Direction - Translate user research, market insight, and stakeholder inputs into clear design opportunities, proposition concepts, and recommended next steps.
- Facilitate Collaborative Design Activities - Plan and facilitate workshops, ideation sessions, and co-creation activities that build alignment, unlock creativity, and accelerate decision-making.
- Create Customer-Centred Experiences - Develop journeys, flows, experience maps, service concepts, and interaction models that help teams understand how products and services should work.
- Prototype and Validate Ideas - Create appropriate prototypes, visualisations, and design artefacts that support experimentation, learning, and stakeholder communication.
- Support Product Strategy and Definition - Collaborate with Product Managers and Researchers to define user value propositions, prioritise opportunities, and shape evidence-based product direction.
- Communicate Design Thinking and Vision - Create compelling presentations, storyboards, and design artefacts that inspire stakeholders, communicate future possibilities, and build confidence in proposed solutions.
- Champion Human-Centred Design - Advocate for customer-centred, evidence-based, and inclusive design practices across the innovation portfolio.
- Contribute to Team Capability Growth - Share knowledge, support colleagues, and help evolve design methods, tools, and standards across the Product Experience Design team.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
